Chat room geeks wanna critique my b-by physique
Who the fuck made you hip hop police
KEEP ON !
Just define what hip hop is to yourseeelf....
what does it mean to you...
"It's Just Begun" & "I feel for you" ( Chaka Kahn ) was hip hop to me...no rapping on it...people used to break dance to it...therefore to me...it was hiphop...
>Rakim wasn't popular strictly because of merit. (although
>skills had a great deal) He was popular because radio jocks
>around the country didn't have a whole lot of hip hop to
>choose from....
there was plenty of music to pick from....you act like PIF came out in 1977...it was 86 and there was plenty of shit to play...there was just NOOOO ONEEEE coming with the shit that Rakim did...Of course the game wasnt as saturated as it is today...but Paid in Full had the effect of Enter the Wu/The Illmatic/Ready to die all put together....you name me an album where over 75% of the album gets played on the radio ( the cuts that hes rhyming on ) I think the only cut that didnt get play was "As the rhyme goes on"...shiiiet ..even Chinese Arithmatic got play on that soda commercial...
