“rappers had an individual sound that was dictated by their region and their communities, not by a marketing strategist”

Nothing beats it.

I've never heard it referred to as that, and I generally don't explore that genre, but from what i've heard, there can be some really good pre-shit hiphop out there. I should look into it more.

The true music. I wish I was born in the 70's/80's.

I agree with that, early 90's and mid 90's. Also one of the best times for rock/grunge.

JohnK, what happened to repping OF on every music section thread? I think 98/99 was also a great time period, thats early mf/blackstar/black on both sides/Moment of truth/slim shady lp



no disrespect though. Fuck, the production was much better. Producers made tracks, not labels.

It's weird that wikipedia has an article on that, lol.

when it seemed that every new single reinvented the genre

Shit did that ever seem true.
