I wish you could see the wall to wall grin on my face right now! lol Damn, we do have a lot of parallels between us...Since our bonafides are out the way...How do you not agree with me about Will? You're right, nearly everyone was hittin' back then and I never suggested that he wasn't popular...he was just 'gah-bage' from a lyrics and flow standpoint. Respecting someone's skills is a separate matter entirely from trend or popularity...Did Large Professor ever come out with that solo album?!?! lol

...also, a "fan like myself" doesn't imply any pecking order or superiority...it means "someone who was not a fan of party-rap." I suppose I should have typed that, oh well. The best thing about 'our' era...was that we had choices.

...also, Cool C: Glamorous Life...you'll remember it once you see the video...and both he an Steady B are murderous curs that deserved what they got and more. However, their songs are a part of my childhood...in spite of my not being from Philly.

...and also, stop bitin' KRS' steez...or if you're gonna do that, at least do it in full and say "WE ARE HIP-HOP" like the other disciples of his Temple of Hip-Hop Kulture...although I'm a bit of a rogue follower in that I've always disliked "Hip-Hop" as a term and pattern shift. As much as I loved Teddy Riley...I blame him and BBD for the sensationalized/commercial/pop transition from "rap" to "hip-hop"...worse things have happened to the genre, but I place a great deal of the dilution of the music within that time period. It will always be 'RAP' to me...

Oh yeah, toys...Marvel...new releases...speculation...pics
