this was a great documentary on the dutch television. I recorded on a VHS tape and played it over and over again. If I recall there was also a part about schoolly D and grandmaster Flash,in his car while hearing KRS on the background.(on the other side of town was a kid named Flash)
What are you talking about. People back then was rapping to earn enough money to leave the housing projects. But they held on to the love towards hiphop and were also doing it, because there wasn't anything else to do.

@idlh Anything is a skill to a certain point. Sports, music, acting, art, etc... You can be good at all those things if you just work hard and dedicate yourself to it. But talent is when you are given the gift to excel at those things without practicing as hard, and everything comes natural. Ppl who work on their beat boxing will be good no doubt, but they probably wont be as any good as Doug E Fresh or Darren Robinson, because they have talent to beatbox.

I think that argument is valid, but I don't think it is being made in the right direction. It is the record owners who sign these rappers that are to blame.

beatboxing is a skill not a talent anyone can beatbox u just gotta start and practice lol he said it was a gift and i dont mean to disrespect but beatboxing is a skill
Old comment tho but Grunge and Hip hop pulled the uno reverse card on hair metal lmao. Sucks to see a genre that had potential to grow but over saturated it self.
