Just had to mention that I was up way to late the other night and Yo! MTV Raps came on MTV2 (or was it MTVJams?). I had forgotten how great old school rap was. There are moments in rap in this decade, but they just can't compare to brilliant stuff that was being recorded in the late eighties early nineties before gangster gained such a stranglehold on the rap scene. The Fugees, Tribe Called Quest, classic Queen Latifah, just excellent music and amazing words paired beautifully. There were videos from all three on the episode of Yo! that I was watching. Can't forget DeLaSoul either. Three Feet High and Rising is one of the great rap albums of all time.
You kiddies out there, take a tip from one who knows and download some of this stuff. You'll never listen to today's rap the same again....
