You missed out on the best time for rap music. It became just phenomenal from then on through the 90s.

i think the elimination of the "music" in rap music is where they lost me - charlie Jan 4, 12:59 18
- if anything, i think there's more of that in the 90s (and today even) than there was in the 80s. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:03
- 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
      - i grant you this. the West Coast sound is smoove. i think i probably couldn't get past the thuggin -- nm - charlie Jan 4, 13:10
    - I diasgree. In the 90s a lot of guys learned to actually play instruments and knew more than how to play a drum machine and sample. - Krusty Jan 4, 13:07 12
      - and digable planets, and pretty much all the backpacker stuff. The Choice Is Yours. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:09 10
        
        Diva knows the wife of the bassist for digable planets. - Mel Profit Jan 4, 13:16 3
        
        digable was dope. the rapper's new project, Shabazz Palaces, is trying *way* too hard. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:17 2

        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
        
        i barely use spotify so i don't even know how to do it, but i'll make something, and then we'll muddle through figuring how to get it to you. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:22
        
        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
