@Azabaxe80 7 месяцев назад

Hip hop is not my thing, but I happened to be in my late teens and early twenties when that art form's golden age happened ('86-'92) and this group's first album marked the end of that age for me. Surely there were bright lights that came after (Hove, Biggie, Wu), but they were simply representative of the commercialization of the form, not a progression of it. Like I said, this is not my thing, but you had to be dead inside to be young and around during that time not to be able to appreciate it.

@magroves 4 месяца назад

They didn't water down their themes to be more commercial. They had some serious messages about community and Black pride and questioning capitalism. They found an amazing amount of commercial success for being the type of group they were. Also, I hope in their own definition of success they feel they were successful. That could include not sacrificing their message for more fame or money
