humbling thread. good work on the posts. this era of hip hop is the most slept on and least talked about but the influence is crazy. i cant believe this fresh sound and driving moment would belong to coporate greed 30 years later. i wish there was a reset button that can take hip hop back to this state of mind.

Bookmarked. I'm gonna have to re-visit this thread multiple times. Thanks for the posts, I used to absolutely love old school hip hop when I was younger.
The worst times for NY (crime, unemployement, arsons in Bronx, bankruptcy), the best days for music (birth of hip-hop, disco and punk).
Yea I've heard people make that correlation before, that theory seemed to be solid until the recession hit. The economy went down the drain and music still sucks, at least mainstream.
