Now you know why we say 1987 to 1996 was THE GOLDEN ERA OF HIP HOP! Don't get me wrong the early 2000s were great. But it wasn't exactly like that classical era. If you want to really know what Hip Hop is, you have to go back to that era. And you will enjoy these INCREDIBLE TALENTED ARTISTS of that time. Now Hip Hop today, is all about hype and not about talent.

"It's hip. What's hip? When hip is just the norm. Cause Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all its forms. The kinks, the love, the prints on all the shirts. My grandmother told mama that it's Africa at work." - They were so pro-black without being angry... I've always thought that was amazing...
