Ah, the golden era.
Dr. Dre, N.W.A., ATCQ, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and G-Funk in general.
My favorite song of all-time is from Nas' demo tape he released in '89.
That was the era of 2 of my ALL-TIME favorites
Public Enemy
and Boogie Down Productions

It seemed like a period when rap really expanded its subject matter, vocabulary, sampling, and vocal style. You had Public Enemy getting intellectual, political, and a bit revolutionary. You had De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest taking wordplay and vocabulary into another realm, from what I could tell.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
In the annals of rap history, A Tribe Called Quest was so, so underated.
An absolute CLASSIC
Nice & Smooth
D Nice
Das FX
Also, with that whole Native Tongues movement: Leaders of the New School!
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
Aw yeah, Nice and Smooth. "Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick" with the Tracy Chapman sample. I played that song OVER and OVER and OVER. Got the very same cassette single somewhere around here.
Native Tongues, baby.... Has anybody mentioned the Jungle Brothers?
