ME and my BF have been really on an 80's music kick since we watched that VH1 countdown. I'm pretty much addicted to some songs. (I'd post more but some I can't embed. T_T)
I don't think the 80's were all that glorious. The nineties were much more my type of thing. In my head =
The 80's = Neon Colors, triangles, big hair, synthesizers, Make lots of money, obnoxious kids on television. The 90's = Earth tones, Yingyangs, Flannel shirts, grunge rock, save the environment, chill-snarky kids on television.
1987 saw the release of Eric B. and Rakim's first album: Paid in Full. Rakim's shift in tone and complexity compared to earlier Hip-Hop, and Eric B's sampling of artists like James Brown changed Hip-Hop music as we know it. From the Wu-Tang Clan to MC Frontalot, every lyricist owes these guys something.
