I Use to Love Her... I know exactly how Common felt when he made that classic hip-hop track. Back in the mid-'90's hip-hop was at its peak! The internet was around but people hadn't figured out how to monetize it yet. I was a college student a street promoter working for some of the hottest record companies at the time such as; Priority, Universal, Tommy Boy, and Geffen. I even worked directly with Ice Cube when he launched Lynch Mob records to release K-Dee and Kausion (Young crazy and talented group of LA's finest). Thanks for the hook-up Robert Redd. Where ya at??!!
Music has changed. I'm irritated at hip-hop right now. I feel like my parents did when I was blasting LA Dream Team, Rodney '0 & Joe Cooley, RUN-DMC, and UTFO. My mom would always say, "What is that mess?" To me it was the greatest thing since sliced bread (Cliche). Maybe that is how the new generation feels about what is out now but, I have a hard time accepting that. My generation started hip-hop and now I think it is in danger of being ruined. What do you think???
