In an interview with Vlad, rapper Special Ed discussed the challenging period of hip-hop in the mid-90s. After a five year gap following his second album, the music scene had transformed with trends and artist popularity shifting regionally. This constant shift added complexity to the industry at that time. Ed also touched upon the East Coast-West Coast rivalry that grew during that period, largely led by music and media agencies. He recalled an incident at the Source Awards that highlighted the unprofessionalism exacerbating these tensions, describing a mix up with 2Pac’s stage entrance. Ed lamented over the impact of sensationalist media stoking these artist quarrels, comparing it to modern-day clickbait.
