i dunno bout all ya'll, but the chronic made me a believer.
I fell in love with hip hop back in the late 80s. My older sister would have to babysit me and she would have to drag me around whenever she was with her boyfriend and he was into hip hop, and was listening to BDP and N.W.A. Riding around with my sister and her boyfriend in his car is where I heard N.W.A. for the first time. And then not too long after Rap City and Yo MTV Raps came along and back then that shit was fire. This was the golden era of hip hop and my sister had just abbout every dope album that was coming out around that time, and I would just listen to her tapes. I would tape Rap City just about everyday, but this was when they actually played dope videos not like the bullshit BET plays nowadays.
Was dablling in both rock and rap since like 98, then in 01 it was strictly Hip-Hop cuz Rock did get lame... Did my homework and been a head ever since.

I guess what I meant and feel is , there is always gonna be artists good at what they do. and there's always gonna be artists bad at what they do. Whenever people look back into the past they wanna say "oh look how good it was back then we had this dope artist and that dope artist...now we have this and that whack shit..." but we think there's only good artists in the past cause they're the only ones we remember. Ten years from now we'll be talking about how dope this time was because all we'll remember is the dope shit from now. there's always whack and dope shit, just a matter of finding what you want.-T

Their were a lot of wack records being made even in hip hops heyday, but to balance that off their were also a lot of great records. I cant name many great records that have come out recently(And no Doctors Advocate is not a great record)
