I didn't know any old heads back in the early 90's who grew up with hip hop like we did, so I don't know but was there also a generational disconnect?

Old heads that grew up with Grandmaster Flash, the Cold Crush, etc, were they like FOH when it came to Pete & C.L., Ice Cube, Redman, etc?

Cuz that's what's happening here. A lot of cats I came up with are either trapped in the 90's or said fuck hip hop altogether. Only a few have accepted that times and sounds change. I'll never say Future is an incredible MC, but I like what he does. I rate EVOL and DS2 as dope shit, he's bringing a new sound to hip hop just like bomb squad, native tongues, g-funk, and soulquarians did.
