but also you (people) can't select the garbage rappers on the radio and say it's all money, bitches etc. rhetoric if you have not really inspected the depths and lengths of it
hiphop spawned in so many directions
i guess it just annoys me to see people sum it up from such a small fraction
it still exist and it still drops on vinyl
lol, I still buy it
"......went from battle rap to gun talk like we aint notice the change...yeah, right"

Of course, you're right that hip-hop's musical lineage begins with people like Kool Herc, but many of the better old school MC's (KRS-one, Chuck D, etc) would tell you that their lyrical inspirations were people like the Last Poets, Gil Scot-Heron and the Watts Prophets.
Maybe that's what the Appalachian dude was referring to... That sort of conscious street rap that made it onto vinyl - that's what I think of when I think early "rap". Not hip-hop, but rap.

These guys are for real. Hiphop has so much potential, but has lost it's way with booty and bling and bustin caps. Hiphop began as protest music against conditions in the inner cities, but The Roots seem to produce music that protests how other artists have really destroyed the genre with materialism and sexism. They actually have great, original instrumentation and a much strong social conscience.
I'm not a big hip-hop fan - because of the reasons I've just outlined - but Roots are incredible.
