1992: East Coast vs. West Coast
The year the game changed forever.
1992 was the year hip hop split into two coasts and the world took notice. Dr. Dre dropped The Chronic. Biggie was coming. Tupac was rising. Mary J. Blige brought real R&B. En Vogue was everywhere. Arrested Development won Grammys. Nothing before 1992. Nothing after. Pure year-specific culture.
