The Golden Age of Hip-Hop

Big L is 3rd all-time in my personal top 5.

Arguably the most dangerous MC ever, his lyrical ability & flow was untouchable.

L was amazing. after BIG I have a group of like 5 that I have a hard time ranking. L, Pun, NAS, Fab and Em. We were robbed of years of the 3 Bigs...

No flex part of what I appreciate about old school hip hop the most is the historical context.

Every American city today wayyyy safer than the same city was in the 80s and 90s. I mean you can still get ****ed up outchea but these stories that ****** was telling was just raw, real **** from that era.

I can always respect that. Makes the **** wayyyy more live when I listen to it. My mind always picturing the historical context of what they were going through and dealing with from their respective communities.

salute.

When I see a young guy talk about some mumble rapper like they’re the best, I just cringe the same way I’d cringe if some young Canes fan told me Brad Kaaya was the best Miami QB ever.

What “mumble “ rapper you talking about?

 

[Poptimus]

What “mumble “ rapper you talking about?

Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi, pretty much any rapper with “Lil” in their name.
