Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be a **** about it, I just think there's an era, 1988-1996 (broadly) of rampant musical and lyrical creativity that's being missed out on. Hip hop has had a bad rep for a long time now, the major labels managed to take a street-level art form and just make it... ****? There's also that assumption that if you want the harder stuff you have to sacrifice the lyrical content, obviously Wu Tang made an exception. I'll stick up a 10-track mix.
