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.

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.
