But I'm white, slow strategy as fuck and went to UW in the mid 90's. The b-boys were the soundtrack of my college days. Is what it is.
Close the fucking gates Derek.
Hilary thought she had the election all sewn up too.
And a) most of the Beasties biggest hits were in the 80s. Seriously, they have like two big songs post 1989 (and that's if you count Sabotage). Brassy Monkey, Fight For Your Right, Girls, No Sleep, Hey Ladies, Paul Revere are all 80's songs b) ground rules dictate they're an 80's act for these purposes.
NWA was much closer to being in the 90s bracket than the B Bois.
Also, none of the bored's esteemed minorities have voted yet and all of them should be voting the right way, save probably @Mad_Son.
It's not over for NWA!
Counting on Roadie to ride with NWA, at least until a potential matchup with Wu Tang.
This should go in controversial opinions, but 80's rap is mostly boom bap garbage. Dre is also extremely overrated. Not a lot of his stuff passes the test of time.
He's a legendary producer more than an emcee. And he's the GOAT producer for my money.
Lyrically NWA was more about Eazy and Cube than Dre.
He has more stuff than the two Chronoc albums. Most people never listened because it wasn't any good.
