I've been writing graffiti since '86 and listening to hip hop just about as long. I've never heard of em. I listened to most of today's show...did anyone ever bring up EPMD?
you must not like the south?
not that they have A LOT to offer but Geto Boys, UGK, U.N.L.V. and Mystikal were all the shit 15-25 years ago and made plenty of classics
then 1997/1998 came along and Master P and the Hot Boys blew up and ruined both south and mainstream hip hop ever since lol
not even the likes of DMX and Big Pun could fully bring hardcore hip hop back as everyone else decided to trend toward the bling/living lavish lifesetyle instead of talking about gangsta shit. even Jay Z copied that which is why his music sucks now (but 90's Jay put it down hard)
