80s Hip Hop?
Its a megablast!!!
Been listening to my Into The Dragon, Bomb The Bass CD today and wondered what happened to all the 80s Hip Hop that was around. I'm talking about the cool Hip Hop which was more sample-based fusing James Brown with scratching and inoffensive rapping. Nothing like today's Hip Hop, full of general unpleasantness, and to my ear - not very musical. Anybody got any recommendations for further listening? |

hip hop just used to be more fun, funkier beats and more innocent

Anyway, no more delay, just check out the new style I display!
Hip hop was great back then, certainly compared to the souless commercial rubbish you get at the top level nowadays. 50 Cent can't rap! |
