Although that is true from early on there were some people in academia and even outside (Krs) trying to chronicle it. When I was at Upenn a professor named Doc Perkins tried to initiate a Hip Hop Library. Not sure what happened but we DO now have one at Harvard that Nas, 9th, Lupe and 15 all have relationships with. From what I see the current problem is that there is not someone there (like Dart) to do the meticulous dirty work of just archiving EVERYTHING.

It is crazy to me that Viacom doesn't have easily accessed archives for MTV & BET but I am sure tapes are somewhere.
