Wanted to focus this one on, those who are dope and almost NEVER get mentioned ... kept by me!

In the 80s and 90s there was a clear difference, back when emceeing was a vocal sport vs. research and bringing personal issues to the music.

Hip Hop STILL doesn't have a proper awards show, and it never has, the greatest of genre never got their just due and all of the classic emcees, songs, and DJs will never get their shine or love ... till now

Im going back and giving the legends of 1989 their credit and just due ... roll with me.

In the 80s and early 90s the DJ was the backbone of the crew/group ... rarely heard though, it was a legit surprise when the DJ actually rhymed ... figured I'd spotlight a few of my favorites
