Ahh the good ole days All of that is classic hip hop, it ain't nothing like the old school How does Chaka khan influence hip hop into r&b. from the video it looks like hip hop influenced her.Those one hit wonders you posted I like lol. I grew up on those. LL cool j is the best to that ever did it and get away with it. (Rapping to females)The old school jewelry I got nothing wrong with, birdmans dumb ass that's all he would rap about, cars , money, and jewels with high budget videos and that what brought into pop culture. The word bling bling.I get your point every, era in hip hop had its moments but you can't tell me the south really dumbed it down to what it is now.Even right now hip hop if you wanna call it that is making a turn. I don't even listen to the radio but on power 106 all they play is party records and club records. There's no more street singles being played. I can't even name the last street single I heard get played since ruff ryders anthem. I know there's more but I can't think of any. Nelly ain't event relevant today. I blame the south and that's what I'm sticking with
The blood gang embraces Tupac as a member even if YOU dont.

He didn't give half a fuck about riding a beat.
LOL... I remember when Power 106 use to play house music next to westcoast Gangsta Rap. I mean it all changes with the times. I don't blame the south for anything, they had that Miami Booty Bass back in the 80's, 90's, and then it evolved to Crunk and all the stuff you hear today. Hip-Hop is party music, that's what it was there for. Hip-Hop started in 1973, it wasn't until 1982 that Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 recorded the Message. So for 9 years Hip-Hop was nothing but party music and yo' mama jokes. Hip-Hop was made to have fun, turn the party out, dance over break beats and make raps that were funny and cleaver, all while boosting and bragging about being the best at what you do. I remember when I was in college, I use to "date" this international student who knew NOTHING of Hip-Hop. I introduced her to some artist and when I got to 2Pac she was amazed. By this time she loved all Dr. Dre productions as well. So when I had her listen to California Love she was so disappointed. I was like why and she said "with all that talent that's the best they could do?" I thought about it and I realized that that's exactly what they should have done. California Love is the ultimate party track. The 49ers used it in the Super Bowl this year, it's timeless and it's something to dance to. You want the party to go crazy from California to the Mid-West, all they need to hear is... California Looove! To me California Love is the perfect example of a pure Hip-Hop song. You have the greatest producer, you have the greatest rapper and when they came together you have a classic and timeless party anthem for a whole state. That's Hip-Hop. I guess my point is people make Hip-Hop more than it is. Yeah Hip-Hop needs artist like Rakim, 2Pac, Nas, Chuck D, KRS-One and all the other underground and conscience rappers to be the very best and shiny examples of Hip-Hop. If Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 didn't record the Message, Hip-Hop would have died out like Disco. But at it's heart and soul, it's party music. I love Hip-Hop, and you'd never catch Lil' Jon or Nicki Minaj on my phone. But at the same time, I acknowledge that they have their place and that they do their job for this current younger generation. The same way my older cousins made fun of me for Domino and Coolio and yet they were listening to Run DMC and Beastie Boys, I see people today making fun of Drake and Lil' Wayne well they still listen to to all that old school stuff that's party music. I ain't gonna hate on the New School. I don't understand it, I don't listen to it, but I don't hate because to me it's just Hip-Hop for a new generation.
Clearly Nelly. I would fist fight Nelly and kick his ass.
St. Louis hands down
