      - I'm not sure I know what you mean. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:00 16
        
        like if you compare the stuff post-Public Enemy/N.W.A. to the old skool Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel/Sugar Hill tracks, there's virtually no music - charlie Jan 4, 13:03 15
        
        but the G Funk era is all melodies again. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:08 1

        can i make and share spotify playlists? is that easy? -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:11 3
        
        oh you can, yes. my spotify is, shockingly, whatmary. do we need to friend eachother? I have no spotify friends (because of mockery) but for trivia - amanda Jan 4, 13:20 1

        Good idea. That might be a good way to help. I know a lot but I'm not sure how to pass along the info to help. -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:12
