I think it was created to make a point...and it did but that is a WHOLE nother conversation....

and rap in general was birthed in the 70's... does that mean that 80's rap isn't innovative because they were expanding on an earlier tradition?
i'm saying you're painting with too broad a brush if you are going to say that kool g rap or nwa were no different from mobb deep or death row and that there was no innovation between those two eras.
in the late 80's they sketched the blueprint for what 90's rap would sound like. but they didn't start building till the release of the chronic.
