my mate reckons it's called 4:44 because it's a ratio. and the ratio 4:44 or 1:11 is actually pointing out that Jay Z's lips are 11x bigger than a normal human's

Disagree but respect the article.

I lived through 90's hip hop.

Just the little nuances, clicks, trends, etc, made it so much fun.

It wasn't oversaturated, and you didn't have things at a click of a button.

Maybe it's nostalgia, idk...

But, I remember buying tapes or CD's, flipping through the booklets, and getting excited for the albums that were on the promotional pages for each record label. And that's why guest appearances were such a big deal back then. I remember people getting excited for Ja Rule over his feature on Jay Z's "Can I Get A", or Drag-On's upcoming album from his feature on DMX's Flesh Of My Flesh (obviously a huge disappointment). Or the emergences of Canibus, Big L, DMX, Jay Z, etc. It was so much f---ing fun.

Music videos, interviews, etc... These artists were larger than life. Like, the author talks about how not everyone would love an album? IDK how true that really was, because even though 2Pac wasn't as popular as Biggie in my area, he was still pretty f---ing popular. That was what was so much fun. You'd argue endlessly with your friends, much like how you do with complete strangers on the internet. It wasn't like that then, though, in person. You lived for all the BET/MTV shows, radio, magazines, etc.

When an album was disappointing, it was a big deal, and the same when it was great.

I also felt like, when Napster came into the picture, that was fun too, because artists were still pretty much larger than life, but you could access underground music A LOT easier than from before.

It's hard to convey to new school hip hop fans, or even fans that became fans of the genre in the 2000's to how amazing the 90's were in music.

I am so jealous of all NY hip hop fans when Nas and Jay were beefing. I mean, even where I lived, it was a HUGE f---ing deal, but to live in NY, where the mixtape scene, the radio stations, etc, were popping? I wish I could've witnessed that beef first hand.

Some of what he's saying is true. A lot of fans were very biased towards their respected areas, but I felt that's what made it so much fun.
