The 1995 Source Awards are pivotal. Going back to watch it for my research brought me back to why the Super Bowl HalfTime show is such a huge deal in 2022. From 1993-1997 gangster rap went mainstream, 59 million records were sold, labels were started and lost, and many lost their lives or were seriously harmed.
