Hip-hop is the streets. A couple of elements that it comes from back in the days that feel of music with urgency that speaks to you. It speaks to your livelihood and it's not compromised -Na$
Wow! Love it! So much history and nostalgia. During the 80's hip-hop era, my best friend and I got jobs at a roller rink/nightclub so we could immerse ourself in the music, the sound, the party...and get paid!
Thank you for sharing this memory, the 80s set the tone for the Hip Hop. I wish we could go back to this era in terms of poetically and consciously uplifting the people
Love this! If you haven’t already check out the evolution of hip-hop, it’s a Netflix documentary. “My how far we’ve come from the grand masters of hip hop!”
Thank you! I was trying to find a good documentary to recommend but the current ones aren’t to my liking. I have to find an older one from maybe the early 2000s
Thanks for reading. I’ve learned Spotify is where it’s at these days 😃 my mom told me the story when I first fell in love with music, I’ll never forget it

Great post, Lynelle. It’s always good to see people who are historians of hip hop.
Such a groundbreaking genre needs to be documented.

I like hip hop and this history resonates. The story about your mum adds that flavour :-).
Funny enough, I am also transitioning to Spotify from Apple, so I will listen to your playlist this week.
