Old Trend #1
Group overdubs, group chants and punch-ins in unison on tracks:
No more of those rehearsed team chants, improvised sound effects or random interjections being hollered over the track anymore. Sometimes it sounded fly, other times it sounded like a high school spirit squad just got a damn record deal. We heard this style used regularly from 1991-1994 by groups such as Fu-Schnickens, Leaders Of The New School (pictured below), The UMC’s, Original Flavor, etc.


Old Trend #2
Flippin’ your tongue:

Let me fliggity flex my skills to piggidy pay the bills/I used to chiggity chop that raw and sling those krills/
I riggidy rock and roll/I siggidy got soul/I tick tick boom/I’m gonna bliggity blow!/
I fliggity flow/I fliggity flow like the Nile/they call me Swiss Army Knife cuz I’m so versatile/
Back in the days that sounded fly, but nowadays? Please shiggity shut the figgity fuck up! I now understand why some younger heads go back and listen to some of that shit that we were doing the East Coast Stomp and jumping up and down to in 1993 like “This shit is hot garbage!”. You truly had to be there in that time and era to fully comprehend/enjoy it.
Point of reference "Ban Da Iggidy's" off of Illegal's "The Untold Truth" LP on Rowdy Records and the scrapped Def Jam album by Boss' sidekick/hypewoman Dee Tha Mad Bitch...and everybody on Earth flippin' their tongues after Das dropped.
Old Trend #3
The grimy ass “underground hip hop” video (circa 1991-1997):

When the camera comes around everybody makes their best ice grills and mad faces they’d been practicing since the casting director picked them for the shoot. They also get to flash their machetes, butcher knives, box cutters, guns or whatever other weapons (including razor blades under their tongues) they have on them to the camera to illustrate how “real” shit is at that point in time. Occasionally, some cinder blocks and bricks might get thrown around as well (because God knows how much fun that is!). Breaking shit is imperative, also feel free to spit, smoke weed and grab yo’ nuts.
Some of these elements are present in old Hip Hop videos like Das Efx “Straight From The Sewer”, EPMD’s “Crossover” and “Headbanger”, Rough House Survivers “Get Rough (Rough House)”, Fat Joe’s “Shit Is Real”, Redman’s “Blow Ya Mind”, Wu Tang Clan’s “Wu Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ Ta Fuck Wit”, Rumpletilskinz “Attitudes”, Onyx’s “Throw Ya Gunz”, YZ’s “Return Of The Holy One”, Diamond D’s “Fuck What U Heard”, Beatnuts “Hardcore (Hit Me With That)”, Bushwackass "Rough, Rugged and Raw", Greysun and Jasun's "Livin' Like A Trooper" and M.O.P.’s “How About Some Hardcore?”
That's all for now...shout to Animal Mother for posting his blog a while back and making me delay and rewrite this one.
One.

The grimy video is coming back thanks to YouTube. And I love it. I'd much rather see you lyp synching your shit in the alley behind your moms house than driving backwards into oncoming traffic in some car they prolly wouldn't even let me test drive or anything elaborate like that.
