All of those 88 era rappers were fly and the Cool Kids know that. But they also had a lot to say and said it in a way that made audiences give a shit about the world around them in addition to looking fly and getting girls. The same way that it can be argued that the backpacker click of the late 90’s was all-content and no-style, it’s obvious that these retro-rappers only understand half of what makes their old favourites so special. Even if it’s the half you can dance to.
