In the '80s, when I turned on the radio in search of rap music, the sound is different from what it is today. The first problem was attempted on an FM station that played hip-hop to find in their rotation.
I remember with pleasure the diversity of sounds, beats, lyrics, styles and themes of hip-hop to express. If you wanted a Malcolm X speech, hearing, only to hear a Public Enemy song. If you get the groove in the club had wanted to Kid 'N Play songs wantedto listen to.
If you are a, love hippy free state of mind, De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest were never disappoint you.
When it was time, in a G-mode, mood, pop in the NWA, Easy E, Ice T in the deck belt and take a hit of crack to get you fired minutes.
The mega-star hip-hop today will be forever indebted to the pioneers of yesterday. No matter what sample beats, lyrics that put spit or trend. If it were not for theseThe performance of MC during the golden age of hip-hop. Hip hop would not be the cash cow it is today.
