Heh, I am coming from the days BDP, Jungle Brothers, lateron Dela and the Tribe, Digable Planets and others gave me insights to social and emotional problems I felt back then. Also a new sense of musical creativity, education in emotional intelligence, deviation from the norm. It was really something else, and as Questlove says we will never have it back. To me mid 80s to early 90s was the golden age of hiphop music.
Yeah, can't expect something to stay in one point of time forever. If it did everyone would get tired of it because it stagnated. I will contend that there is a lot of really good indy hip-hop out there, however, since the move to the internet, some people find it harder to wade through the crap.
That time for hip-hop was what introduced me to it, and it will always probably be my favorite because of that. However I have to accept the changes of time and either learn to move with it or just lock myself away from trying anything else. The older I get the more it takes for me to listen through a bunch of stuff I will end up not liking though.
