Don't Sweat The Technique...

THE GOLDEN ERA


January 10, 2008 | Tags: none

I think it's pretty undisputable that regardless of if you still yearn for the days or yesteryear or not, the 90's were the golden age of rap music. Some people still listen to more vintage rap than current artists, while others believe that living in the past makes people musically stagnant and unable to innovate. I lay somewhere in the crossroads....

But the interesting thing I just thought about that inspired this blog is that the 90s were much more than rap's golden era....it was popular music's golden era as a whole. Alternative, R&B, rock, etc...it was all pretty dope in the 90's. I'm sure there will be at least one of you that criticizes my taste of non- Hip Hop nostalgia...frankly, my darlings, i do not give a damn :) Obviously, this is in no way a definitive list (just the first few that came to mind) , but Behold, 7 of my fav non-rap songs from the 90s. enjoy!
