What do you miss about old school hip hop music and why?

calvinj,
Black Violin is really great Hip Hop. It's inventive and breaks free from the modern Hip Hop formula.

I really like the song "A Flat," but the "Brandenburg" video is so good. After poking fun at a typical audience, there's a great message in there about the lack of diversity in Classical music, specifically in the major orchestras.

As a frequent symphony attendee, the lack of colour is very obvious, yet in conservatory recitals, I see many super talented African-American musicians.

Dont push me cause im close to the edge...huh huh  huh ha

How about the song planet rock. The beat was amazing

Public Enemy, "when I get to Arizona " has great PRAT!

I miss when people just made comments about the lyrics and it wasn't so commercialized. It's gotten to the point where some people hate the current content. Some people hate it because it isn't what it was. Some people hate it because they don't understand the culture. That also why I loved it so much. It was defiant and didn't care about acceptance. Told stories from so many points of view.
