>>14895011If I had to guess, I'd say it was the cumulative impact of pic related, Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", and the rise of Eminem. Suddenly White yuppies and suburbanites were listening to rap and beginning to empathize with thugs, directors like Spike Lee capitalized on this. From there the whole thing became progressively more commercial and constantly sought to outdo itself in order to remain relevant to the zeitgeist - which results in primordial waste like BeatemEatem or whatever the fuck that thing is called.
Black music peaked with Earth, Wind & Fire, Boney M, and Billy Ocean.
