[@blachubear]

Suge was wrong but from 6:36 to 6:50 & 7:03 to 7:17 , Suge wasn't lying either about Puff overshadowed his artists. I never forgot what Mark Curry said in his book "Dancing With The Devil" that Puff charged his artists $30,000 to appear in their videos. Puff even charged his artists for using his Bentley in the videos without the artists even knowing. I went WHAT?!!! Then that famous argument Puff had with The Lox on Angie Martinez show when The Lox said "The only person that benefited from the success is you Puffy". Then let's not forgot how Puffy ripped off his artists. Then Gene Deal exposed how Puff ignored the warnings of threats against Biggie which made people think Puff might had set up Big's early demise. So sadly Suge knew what Puffy's intentions was all along.

[@TRivera13]

Puffy is a scumbag, no debate there. But Suge being a hater doesn't mean he was right. Cause Suge had no problem putting his fat head front and center on Death Row promo materials. Had no problem putting his name and his name only on the bottom. Like he actually rapped a verse or produced a song. He tanked a $100 million dollar company because he wanted to play gangbanger godfather. He's no better than Puffy.

The Good old days man Golden Era of hip-hop!

[@wobblertv8083]

Golden Era era 86 to 94 in my book .

[@newera5238]

I grew up during this era, and mannnn 😅 the HipHop tension was very REAL at the ‘Source Awards’!

[@akalanga]

Holy shit, hearing Michel'le talk just took me out.

[@younghurricane1995]

OutKast winning Best New Artist for the Source Awards was big for the South ⬇️ .. they opened up a lot of doors and barriers for other Southern rappers to come out and be themselves, & and made Southern hip hop go global since then and it dominated Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Memphis, & and New Orleans amongst other major cities across the South ⬇️🌀🗣️🔥 .. The South was here to stay and show the world that they had something to say and outsold for the next decade .. OutKast, UGK, Geto Boys, Three Six Mafia, 8Ball & MJG, & and Dungeon Family brought Southern rap to the forefront of hip hop culture musically

[@lexkanyima2195]

They launched a edgy event.

[@palmereldritch4166]

I remember being in my teens, getting those iconic magazines right when they came out ..... If we all only knew then what was going to happen.....

[@akaLids77]

I was there. At the source awards that day. I won tickets from HOT97. Me and my cousin were there.

[@randallberron4901]

That was real what 300 said the south have some thing to say East cost always hated on the south

[@ChrisJProductionz]

Cause NY always felt like they were the best, they only saw themselves…if you weren’t from NY you were considered “trash” in their terms which haunted them later because the South took over later on

[@BrianYerby-he9jo]

Facts when we actually listen to there music

[@kennyboudreaux1657]

I call it the curse of Andre 3000! He said it and the south stil got something to say and they've been saying it and running hip hop since 1998 at least.

[@andyanderson6295]

the music was amazing 😔

[@dayanerudert1898]

Suge was right on spot about diddy, always annoyed me the fact that diddy couldn’t just stay in the backstage, always jumping around in every single one of biggie’s videos.

[@EmilioCorrales813]

How you gonna forget OutKasts moments here too, they caused some controversy here as well

[@AtlantaPrin]

And when Atlanta grab the industry... It ain't never let it go

[@marcusmckinney6153]

Yoooo what cube said at the end really hit.

[@googleaccount1276]

Shout out to King Son who wanted to rush the stage when Suge dissed Puff😂 .

[@bruceleeds7988]

Yeah, the rappers of this time lov to talk about how much the media messed up things, but this night was all us

[@yoshamell]

Great vid... ended it perfect w/ Cube @ da end..

[@chrisleaf]

Suge was right about that MF Diddy

[@BeaMode1990]

The night that everything went straight to hell. I watched this live with my cousin & it was definitely some shit. 😩😩😩😩

[@mcnightmare3454]

I remember this. I was like “what’s wu tang gonna do?” 😂😂

[@Rschr101]

Absolutely nothing😂

[@camm8642]

@@Rschr101 nobody challenged them....they knew better ppl knew back then how wu tang got down

[@BasicDefense]

What people don't take into account too man is that Wu Tang and how heavy they went on stage could have added major fuel to the fire, especially with the numbers they had up there and because it was home turf

[@SideShoANT]

OutKast had the biggest impact that night 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@kaaronhudson8112]

And people thought PAC wasn’t about that life

[@Amidat]

Well Pac is a Bronx dude - so not surprised he wanted to hold down a Bronx dude like Tim Dog.

[@Bobe_Kyrant.42]

Yea. I heard about another time he pulled a gun on someone too, . And when the LA riots happened he went riding around shooting his gun in the air lol

[@devious187]

With all the bullshit from this show, Outkast stands out... The South got something to say

[@Standard-Gamer]

Suge was speaking facts and his speech aged so well but people didn't wanna hear it at the time.

[@lexkanyima2195]

But it was really a edgy time.

[@michaelhinton2738]

As a 13 year old kid watching this i never knew what would occurre after this,wow

[@Tripp2136]

All the tracks Premier did that year with Nas, Jay, Big, Jeru, Mop, gang Starr etc.. some many number 1's Premier produced that year...

[@ZapRowsdower47]

BONE IS MIDWEST AND WE WAS ROCKING EVERYTHING BEFORE EVERYONE, OVERHAULS, CARHARTS, BEANIES, BOOTS, CAMO, AND THE DIRTY SOUTH BECAUSE WE WAS BOTH COUNTRY.

[@LapNgo-h9u]

Suge wasn't wrong though. I would hear Puffy on Bad Boy songs, making weird sound effects and wonder why he was even on the track.

[@lexkanyima2195]

He was a producer, so he has creative freedom

[@LapNgo-h9u]

@@lexkanyima2195 Doesn't mean he should be there though. That was my point.

[@SupportGamin2025]

​@@lexkanyima2195 that's a dumb excuse

[@LamboBen931993]

The bit about the intro on ready to die is wrong 😂

[@deanrichards5223]

The second track samples little ghetto boy off the chronic doesn’t it?
