i was so impressed by Eve back then. My initial thoughts of her while watching her interviews back in 98/99 was: "She is so cool." The stylish way she dressed, her calming speaking voice and mature composure. .. Even the confident way that she patrolled the stage at this award show, Eve is just a cool-ass woman.. Through and through. She hasn't changed much either.

I love looking back on these award shows however it really saddens me. If you watch the 1995 legendary source awards then watch the 1999 award you can see how we got to the state of rap that were in now. Everything started to become materialistic and mainstream.

[@shannonallaround9490]

Yep I agree. Blame it on the record label owners who dictated what artists /rappers could say and promote on their albums.. based on the allowed budget… if you said ignorant things, you grabbed the big budget. If you spoke intelligence, record label gave low to zero budget

The difference between the 95 Source Awards that was held in the NYC & the 99 Source Awards that was held in LA; is that another coast respected everyone's different style. NYC one of the other hand disrespected everyone who was not from their neck of the woods. It's funny how time has changed during this moment.

[@PrettyNicky50]

Shouldn't you have said " on the other hand"? Lol😂...yea that is crazy not to mention the 95 ones were so low budget you couldn't even c it that well...wondering how many source awards in all they had an was any wit tupac in them?

​​@@PrettyNicky5095 stage is huge. The low budget one was 1994, the first source award where Pac was even there rapping his unreleased original song, Out On Bail. In 95' Pac was locked up, so he wasn't in there
