What is a Boom Bap 90's Golden Era Type Beat?

Type Beat is an instrumental song, purposely matching patterns of already existing songs, using the usual types of BPM, drum sounds and song structure, to be easy to suit a rapper.

Why use “Type Beat” in title names?  Well, for the artist it’s basically like a search word that helps an artist looking for music or a certain sound to find it quickly.   It’s basically used for search optimization as a keyword.

What defines Golden Era Beats for me are the tempo (and the drums).  Most beats range between 90 BPM and 105 Bpm.  I know this because I started as a DJ and I came up struggling to be as good as the Philadelphia legendary DJs like Jazzy Jeff and DJ Cash Money.  I would venture to say that the drums from Beats of that era are the biggest, loudest and most dynamic than any other time in human history.
Hip-hop’s Golden Age marks what many believe to be the genre’s zenith, when crackling funk, jazz, and soul samples blended with those banging boom–bap drums.  It was an era of rapid and remarkable innovation, both sonically and in terms of lyrics and delivery styles.  Writer William Jelani Cobb said, “what made the era they inaugurated worthy of the term golden was the sheer number of stylistic innovations that came into existence… in these golden years, a critical mass of mic prodigies were literally creating themselves and their art form at the same time”.
During the golden age of hip hop, samples were heavily used. The ability to sample different beats, riffs and patterns from a wide variety of sources gave birth to a new breed of producers and DJs who did not necessarily need formal musical training or instruments, just a good ear for sound collages. These samples were derived from a number of genres, ranging from jazz, funk and soul to rock and roll. For example, Paul’s Boutique , the Beastie Boys’ second studio album, drew from over 200 individual samples, 24 of which were featured on the last track of the album.  Samples and sound bites were not limited to just music. RZA of the WU, a hip hop collective formed in the 1990s, sampled sound clips from his own collection of 1970s kung-fu films to bolster and frame the group’s gritty lyrical content. Many of the sample-laden albums released during this time would not be able to receive legal clearance today.
