To this day, when I say I love them, I get the “white Jewish lady likes that ni**er trash talk” looks. Then I calmly explain that music has no color. Black people liked Barry Manilow, white people liked Kurtis Blow (Google is your friend), Asians liked Dolly Parton, etc.
Rap and hip hop told a story. It wasn’t always about hos and ni**as and badass guns. It was a hard look at life in the hood, in Compton, the Bronx and beyond. If you want cutesy rap, Will Smith and DJ whatever is for you. It’s kindergarten rap; I prefer grad school rap.
Beastie Boys “fight for your right to party” is imitation hip hop (though for three white guys they weren’t bad).
I know most won’t agree but that’s my opinion.

While NWA was going back to my roots and LOVED them again they put out how many albums? Now Ice Cube came out of it to be legendary and he and Too Short are my fav old school and are even putting out good music today.
While I haven't listened to Tech N9ne as long as those I mentioned you gotta respect the numbers
Tech N9ne Breaks Record for Most Top 10s on Rap Albums Chart (19)

Tech is about to drop his 21st album in 4 days and I preordered it and have heard the 7 of 21 songs on it and they are lit.
Too short has 20 albums.
Ice Cube has 10 (thought he had more than that but I guess they are just that good)
