Outkast's success this night was a huge step up for the south and set the stage for Atlanta hip hop running the scene

I’ve never seen that hug, ever, but seen all the negative parts of that award show. That’s crazy, I’m glad you showed the whole situation

[hueycotton]

Bro you’re fucking crushing it with the mini documentaries lately. I even see you on my shorts sometimes now. You’re going crazy, keep it up!

[notaflightreactsfan]

this brings me back, im grown now but i do remember growing up watching this, it was a couple years old by the time i watched it, what i appreciate is that you didnt only show what parts we always see from this night( suge, snooop, andre) and you actually showed john trying to cool things down, and broke everything down yassine you are doing the music history world wonders with these and i appreciate them so much, thanks.

I will never forget the night Tupac died. It was Friday the 13th, Sept 1996. He had been shot 7 days earlier and everyone expected him to survive, come back and make a bigger diss song than Hit em Up. Something in Hip Hop died with Pac and Biggie. Nothing has ever been the same. Such a sad turn.

That was the night where hip hop as we all know could really end. Like Nas said on The Defiant Ones: << That night I saw the headlines next day. "Stupid Source Awards, gathers up stupid rappers and they sh*t each other. Rap is done" >>

Also, first time I see a so well made analysis of what happened that night in one singular video. Love this🔥

Love the direction you taking with the channel can just chill eat popcorn and watch your short docs

What a time to be alive! I remember watching the show back in the day and then telling my friend that shit is going to pop off in there. I was so focused on East Coast/West Coast Beef that I totally forgot about Andre 3000's rant. Dayum Andre! The South was ready too! I was too young to understand the whole magnitude of what was really going on that night. Me and my friends thought the whole shit was funny at the time. Good breakdown of the event! So sad that Pac and Biggie got killed over some BS.

“The South got something to say…” And the South would go on to take over the entire game. ❤

I was 22. Recent grad and was in law school. From Philly, went to Morehouse, and had a paid internship in downtown Manhattan at this firm. I decided to treat myself to a break from work and studying for the bar. I decided to go to The Source Awards.

At first, the energy was crazy, in a good way. My homeboy and I talking to all types of females, sapped up Craig Mac, Dazz, and a couple of other rappers. The night was right.

I can personally tell you, about 1 1/2 hours into the show, the energy changed. It really felt something was going to pop off at any moment. You saw a lot of dudes posting up instead of trying to holla at the ladies. Dudes had their heads on swivels with a concentrated look, myself included. We stayed for the whole show, but we positioned ourselves for the get out in case something popped off. NY dudes was popping off at the mouth real hard about the diss. I mean regular dudes l, not rappers. The ish was crazy!!!

I watched this live. An era never again to be repeated if you were there you know.

The quality of these videos are getting better and better🔥

I actually remember hearing Suge in an interview saying his comment was about Jermaine Dupri because Suge was supposed to sign Lill Bow Wow but Dupri scooped him instead

[peterortiz]

Bro diddy acted cool in Publix but behind the scenes he was heightening the drama

[ThaRealBummyDavis]

I was born in 87 and this is my first time seeing Puff give it up for the west and east at the awards 😮

[ManUnitedFrever]

the production of this video was great man keep up the good work

[ChrisJProductionz]

The greatest award show of all time, imagine if 2Pac was at the ‘95 source awards.

I somewhat remember watching this as a kid. I recently watched this on YouTube as an adult and OMG this was a train wreck. A wonderful, awkward, historic train wreck.

[AdamSmith-kbkt]

You said that Tupac‘s death row records was feuding with bad boy while he was in prison… that’s not accurate, he wasn’t even signed to death row until Suge came and bailed him out for $3 million.
