Originally posted by Ernie C. Ah, memories of watching Yo! MTV Raps on Saturday mornings at my house. My place was de meeting point on these mornings between the nights out on Friday and Saturday. Lots of good memories from that time but also a few tears because most of the friends from that time didn't make it out of that poor neighbourhood the way i did.
Sounds very bittersweet.
I was never much into hip-hop, but looking back I appreciate the '90's style - funk and jazz inflected - and when it was mostly fun party music, by the people and for the people. It's much different now.
