Many say it was the last true "Golden" era of Rap, the year was 1997. Will Smith's blockbuster status continued to rise with the release of Men In Black. Guy called Usher dropped the album that everyone had to have in their collection. Ex-Fugee Wyclef dropped his debut album The Carnival.
Female MCs had a new funky fresh voice, that made even some lesser male MCs get shook. Yes Missy Elliott gave us a look into the future with the dope flows and nasty beast.
But when it's all said and done, one era it definitely was is the shiny suit one. Puff Daddy and Bad Boy was running everything from hits to remixing hits and making them better. Big budget cinematic look videos..... who you know did it better?
