his history may be skewed but there is some truth to it. What I remember when I was a young one was Hiphop transitioning from party / block party music in the ate 70's through the mid 80's to an afrocentric,rise up focused movement. You had Public Enemy, Poor righteous teachers, BDP etc DOMINATING the hiphop scene. Then, 2 live crew started moving units, and its been going downhill ever since.. IMHO. The civil rights era was straight up abandoned and we're suffering for it.
