1998: The Year Hip-Hop and R&B Took Over the World

from Totally 80s and 90s Recall · host Totally 80s and 90s Recall

From Jay-Z to Big Pun, Will Smith and DMX, 1998 provided 90s kids and the world with some memorable and straight banging Hip Hop, R&B and Rap. On this episode, Rob and Dave will go through some of their favorites from a year when MTV’s TRL debuted and hip hop had slowly started taking over the musical landscape on TV and the radio from the mid 90s depressing, socially aware era of grunge music. The late 90s was a time of fun, excess and optimism for the upcoming 2000s. So whether you were in the club, a house party, or drinking beer in a field somewhere outside of town, you were probably getting down to a lot of the hits we’ll cover this week. So let’s get Jiggy with some awesome Hip Hop from way back in 1998.
