My point is this, how much music is really being made for what it is i mean for the love of hiphop.... from musical content, production album covers to videos, Hiphop has become in general a vehicle to sell HYPE, its not coming across as maybe inventing anything new, of course they are many cats that still preserve the form of it, but i've come through 4 generations if have to put it that way, my experiances being the early 80's (phase1) late 80's to early 90's (phase2), then 93- 96 (phase3) and late 90's till now per-say. and if anything i thought one of the greatest eras is either phase 2 or mos def... 93 era... but i'm a true old school fan, but i still agree that 93 94 era was probably the craziest in hiphop.
my point is its not jus nostalgia, but the sound, lyrics, and inovative ideas that came forth out of that era were some of the best hiphop saw.
How albums do your really buy and they just blow you away from beiginning to end. very few..... are you in hiphop for money or respect. tough one to choose nowadays. cause you always loose a little if you choose between the 2.
Peace.
