all these new groups that come out may be cool or whatever, but after last night i have come to the conclusion that the Beastie Boys are still among the top rap artisit of all time hands down. i worked the concert here in town and they put on one of the best shows i have ever seen. just a thought...
"What did you think about that Dorothy girl?"
"The whole Judy Garland thing kinda turned me on. That doesn't make me some sort of fag does it?
"Nah baby, your money."

I agree. Back then people just thought rap was a fad like disco. Look at all of the people that didn't make it very long. It takes alot of work to keep going all of these years and still make it sound good. Personally I like all of the old school stuff way better than any of the new stuff. I guess because I grew up with all of that. Groups like Beastie Boys, NWA, Eazy-E, Public Enemy and yeah I even had 2livecrew's tape

There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Isn't that just the wrong way?
Yeah, but faster!

Hip-hop fans will find the series 'And You Don't Stop' on VH1 entertaining. It is a 5-episode historical documentary on hip-hop, interviewing some of the most legendary members of hip-hop history.
I was actually let down by the series, because it is so NY/LA-centric that almost no one from the "flyover" area gets a mention. There is one episode that's supposed to be about non-coastal hip-hop, but they spend half the time talking about coastal influence on those artists, and why they would be nothing without New York or LA. The entire mid-90s are lost with the exception of the Biggie/2Pac feud. Master P (who I hated) gets 3 seconds of screen time, and Bone Thugs (who I liked) get absolutely no mention. They chose to talk about Eve and Foxy Brown instead of those two.
So anyways, it's a good series to watch, but I am a little disgruntled by several parts of it.

hmm...i checked it out and the first record that pulled up was 1988. it said the year NWA released their first album "straight outta compton". this immediately caught my attention because i was an avid nwa fan back in the day. their first album was "nwa and the posse" released in 1987.
no biggie but im not sure about Lipton Iced Tea's credentials on rap music.

Hip-Hop has been in a sad state for several years now. Sure, we have our non-mainstream artists out there that aren't TOO underground (Mos Def, etc...) and we have our true undiscovered gems (Anyone with the Def Jux crew, Madlib...) but for the most part, Hip-Hop will not see that creative state of the late 80's and early 90's ever again. There will always be someone to push the envelope and musical boundaries, but the culture in general has gotten too mainstream and popular for a historical growth pattern. It won't be until pop culture and the marketing brass embrace another genre or style will us fans ever experience a major revolution in the music. I was a young fan of NWA, Public Enemy, old Run DMC, LL Cool J (don't front!) when I was in elementary school. I felt at the time and still to this day that I could understand what was being said in reference to the political commentary and a social standpoint, plus the music was amazing, all from an obscure town in Texas. We should have known at that point that eventually the industry would be taken over with fly-by-night artists and this need to use anything popular to sell items (McD's chicken strips, anyone.) I miss the early 90's with the unknown Wu-Tang Clan, Digable Planets, Third Bass (the 2nd white rap crew to make it), Black Moon, etc... BTW, the VH1 special is just running the BIG/2Pac thing into the ground. It is a small part in the huge world of Hip-Hop. I'll get off of the stage now!
