Just laying in a bubble bath on a miserable Sunday evening listening to Biggie. He was such a dude.

Tupac too.

Man they don’t make them like this anymore.

Anyone else a fan?

Loved all the Bad Boy and DefJam stuff. Also some of the older stuff. Especially some excellent soundtracks that worked as compilations, not forgetting brilliant mixtapes from the States.

Tupac’s music is definitely overrated because of his influence outside of music,

Jay-z, Nas, NWA all killed it tho they’re the GOATS

I get funny looks driving through the countryside with NWA or Public Enemy blaring out the car windows.

Doesn't really fit in where we live.

H went with her sister to see Eminem & 50Cent was supposed to support & he baled.

Cypress Hill filled in & were awesome apparently. Eminem was crap.

I was most peed off as couldn’t get another ticket once they were announced.

A classic.

Still waiting for the argument to be settled as to whether that should be considered the first ever rap song or if that title goes to the Fatback Band?

Sky Arts had a brilliant programme on the early days of hip hop in the 70's that unfortunately comprehensively buries Rappers Delight.

Agreed, there were other hip hop bands out therw way before rappers delight. Plus Hank stealing other rappers lyrics did not go down well in the hip hop community.

Love a bit of Jurassic 5.

Concrete Schoolyard is a classic but Get It Together is probably my favourite.

Missy Elliot doesn't belong in that list

Now your talking, im remember watching London posse back in the day in Peckham. I still have much love for Grandmaster flash. I forgot to mention another one of my favourites, Ice Cube, today is a good day.
