=== Legacy === Many knowledgeable hip hop fans look favorably upon this period as a time of creative growth and influential recordings, describing it as "The East Coast Renaissance." Music writer May Blaize of MVRemix Urban comments on the nostalgia felt among hip hop fans for records released during this time: It was claimed as the East Coast Renaissance. Wu-Tang brought the ruckus with ''36 Chambers''. The world was ours when Nas released ''Illmatic''. Big L, (The MVP) came out with ''Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous''. Temperatures rose in clubs when Mobb Deep came out with ''The Infamous'' and Brooklyn’s finest Jay-Z released ''Reasonable Doubt''. . . And who can forget the powerful uplifting anthem that would brand New York’s concrete "Bucktown" (Smif-n-Wessun's hit single)? . . .Ahh, it was a beautiful time in hip-hop history that many of us wish we could return to.<sup>[9]</sup> David Drake of ''Stylus Magazine'' writes of hip hop during 1994 and its contributions, stating: "The beats were hot, the rhymes were hot - it really was an amazing time for hip-hop and music in general. This was the critical point for the East Coast, a time when rappers from the New York area were releasing bucketloads of thrilling work - Digable Planets, Gang Starr, Pete Rock, Jeru, O.C., Organized Konfusion - I mean, this was a year of serious music."[[Category:Hip hop genres]] [[Category:Regional hip hop genres]] [[Category:Article stubs]]
