Reply to comment by bodamfuonua1 in Nas Says Hip-Hop Peers His Age Don’t Inspire Him to Make Music by bodamfuonua1

Different generational tastes and different appeal. The "bling-bling" era was a blessing and curse to hip-hop IMHO. That era showed hip-hop's true universal talent and appeal beyond NYC and LA; however, it also turned the genre into a meme of itself. The "social media" era, was the death nail.

I grew up listening to Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, and the like. I grew up during the Golden-era of hip-hop and am thankful these emcees are still touring (been lucky enough to see Rakim, Kane, and Krs One in concert). These gentlemen are in middle to almost senior age, and they are still oozing with raw talent and charisma. I don't think social media and mumble rappers of today will ever experience that same type of longevity because the talent simply isn't there.

Reply to Brett Favre points finger back at Gov. Phil Bryant in motion to dismiss Mississippi welfare lawsuit by getBusyChild

Al Michaels: "And Favre passes to the Governor, who gets stopped at the line of scrimmage."

John Madden's Ghost: "Well you can see here, Favre calls a no integrity audible. He steals from the poor, calls to check to see if it was ok, and then takes off running." "Here you can see the officials simply look the other way."

"In 1992, two rapping kids convinced everyone to wear their pants backwards. A young Maccauly Culkin, was lost again, this time in New York. American's jazzy new president was an avid saxophone player. The home video rental market had its peak year. And Ken Burns railed two horny broads, over the side of a busted Civil War cannon..."
