Following the success of their debut album just a year earlier, Kriss Kross released the 2nd album Da Bomb in 1993. Rappers Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac attempted to shed their child-like rap image by going towards a harder, West coast type of sound, with edgier lyrics and production. Though it did not sell as well as their first, it remains underrated and the perfect album to cruise to.https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8zjJ1m1MAqk&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/1D6yagv469/?mibextid=wwXIfr

On episode 143 we cover Top 10 Hip-Hop Songs From 1991.

After the success of the Wu Tang Clans' debut album Enter the Wu Tang (36 chambers) - Method Man was the first of the clan members to get his solo debut album Tical released in 1994. Backed by songs like Bring the Pain, Release Yo' Delf and All I Need, Tical is held in high regards by Wu fans. RZA's dark and borderline grim beats, paired with Method Man's gravelly flow make this a bonafide classic. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8zNLbdt0KMQ&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/16ZiRhSDqB/?mibextid=wwXIfr

After the success of his debut solo album AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted in 1990, Ice Cube and his label wanted to continue the momentum and also released the critically acclaimed EP Kill at Will later that year. A combination of remixed and new songs, including one of Cubes' best - Jackin' for Beats - Kill at Will is known as a top 5 EP and was a huge contribution in maintaining Ice Cube's success as a solo artist. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8z7b7Kdxza9&_r=1https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/1KRx5TDRDv/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Representing Philadelphia, the rap trio of Tajj, Tarik, and Qu'ran known has Da Youngstas released their 3rd LP titled No Mercy in 1994.

When discussing movie soundtracks in hip-hop, very rarely do you hear about this weeks topic - the original motion picture Trespass soundtrack, released in 1992. While the movie is forgettable, the soundtrack is packed with a great line up of artists, from Ice-T and Ice Cube to Public Enemy and Gang Starr just to name a few, making this a somewhat diamond in the rough and great listen for hip-hop lovers. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8vVI9vIQ22w&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/169kiVJpWu/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Episode 132 is a review of East Coast rap group Onyx and their 1993 debut album Bacdafucup. Members Sticky Fingaz, Sonny Seeza, Big DS and Fredro Starr would usher in a brash, gritty and loud sound, almost equivalent to the heavy metal of hip-hop. The group found popularity thanks in large part to their platinum single Slam, and also saw the LP itself go platinum. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8vVCA0evyOs&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/1GA5hx9k6N/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Following two highly acclaimed albums, group EPMD continued their success with their 3rd LP titled Business As Usual, released in 1990. This album took what they had done in the past and amplified it with a grittier sound and more rugged feel that the group became known for. Erick Sermon and Parish Smith are at their peak lyrically, while DJ Scratch provides arguably the best performance from a DJ on a record. It's also noteable for being the first time the world would hear Redman on a wax.https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8uvpuwTPMEg&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/16LtzeTMz9/?mibextid=wwXIfr

When talking about some of the best female rap albums, we at Bring The Noise Podcast believe Bahamadia's 1996 album Kollage belongs in that category. With production from DJ Premier, Guru and Da Beatminerz, Bahamadias smooth yet complex lyrics put this album in that classic category that does not get discussed enough. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8uY9R6uk4pq&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8clippa?igsh=MXVpbmR3bmwweWNxOQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/1BVqnmk4tJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

One of hip-hops' most creative and entertaining groups, The Pharcyde, released their classic debut album Bizarre Ride 2 The Pharcyde in 1992. It was an outstanding success, thanks in large part to their smash single Passin' Me By. Rappers Fatlip, Slimkid3, Booty Brown, Imani and producer J-Swift crafted a witty and comical album paired with great beats and rhymes that still rank in the top tier list of rap albums. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_t=ZT-8uM9h4rf9Y6&_r=1 https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/1QfmJmwwN6/?mibextid=wwXIfr
