Are you a fan of old school hip-hop? Answer these questions for me please

[Pireboi251]

For my world music class we were asked to Choose a spefic music style from a specific period. I choose to do Hip Hop from the 80's-early 90's

The questions i have for you are....

1. Why do you like it?

2. What activities do you take part in during concerts or performances of said music style? (singing along-dancing-getting up on stage-etc.)

3. How do you feel the media portrayed this music style in this prime? Was it fair or not?

Thank you ^_^

If anyone says treated unfairley they are full of it!! That is the time BET came out and Yo MTV Raps, and all sorts of hip hop nonsense . . . I personally don't care for it too much, but it was popular in east county!

BET is not an all hip-hop channel, its Black Entertainment Television and Yo MTV Raps? That was 1 hour a week versus all the airtime the mainstream pop music got. Sounds fair to me.

Anyway, for me I love old school hip hop. There's nothing about it in particular its more that I love hip hop and I started listening to it back in the mid to late 80's so for me now there is a nostalgia factor as well as enjoying the music. It was also much more underground and not mainstream then which is the type of current day hip hop that I listen to now.

At shows I was just in the crowd, nothing specific but I used to Bomb a lot (type of grafitti writing) in high school. Not on walls, but I had pages and pages of drawings. I'd go to DJ battles etc and watch people breakdancing and what not.

At the time, the media portrayed it as a fad. Nobody thought it would last. Guess they were wrong.
