Three Things
1. Hip Hop had a message
2. I believe the 90’s was the worst dressing decade ever (at least the 80’s has some redemption)
3. MC Lyte has the illest verse!

one correction – stop the violence movement…and the song was in 1989…so it wasn’t the 90’s but late 80’s…
but the styles wasn’t all wack though…we thought it was bangin’…well in D.C. – New Yorker’s as always on some other stuff!!
ok, ok…yeah i’m old school – i was 17 that year!
Q
and yes…hip-hop was much more ‘conscious’ and intellectual then…
My bad I thought this was 91-92. I was like 6th grade when this dropped! Dang I am getting old with you.
It’s to bad that hip hop did not follow in this direction, who know what fruit positive effects it would have on our culture now!
Longing for “edutainment” in hip hop, but thanking God for the spiritualtainment that is coming from many christian hip hop artists today
‘I never ever ran from the Klu Klux Klan and I shouldn’t have to run from a black man’ and I didn’t even watch the video to remember that.
That was the best line, from a man who didn’t really do alot else – ‘How you like me now ?’ was OK.
Same as Q, I was 17 and I still have the original 12″ vinyl.

Man that took me back to my high-top fade days. I was a 21 year old black nationalist living in Brooklyn at the time this came out. Those were most of the top hip hop artists of that day. It is certainly amazing that there doesn’t even seem to be a remnant of this thought among today’s popular artists.

BTW, I thought they were nice at the time, but what’s up with Kool Mo Dee’s glasses and the fact that he always wore leather gloves?
