Any Old School Hip-Hop & RnB Fans On Here?
I just wanted to know if there's anyone on here who was, and probably still is, massively into the urban flavours of the 1990s. Back in the day it was pretty much the only thing that my friends and I would listen to. Rap, hip hop, swingbeat, RnB. And to get American import stuff was a VERY big deal. While a lot of the artists we listened to were American, during the late nineties, a lot of British artists started doing well in the mainstream charts. People like Eternal, Damage, The Honeyz, All saints etc. Those sounds were really blowing up back then.
If you've been following the news, you'll know that in more recent times a lot of the artists that were big names in the hip hop and rnb arenas have been involved in scandalous behaviours. R Kelly, P Diddy, Fat Joe etc. I think that's why …
I do like my music but RnB wasn't necessarily my preferred choice. I'm more into rock and alternative. But doing my clubbing era, the clubs were always playing hip hop and rnb and even listening to those tunes now takes me back.
As for the scandals that have been occurring, I think people still listen to the artist's work. They just don't tell anyone about it for fear of being judged. Whether it's right or wrong is a bit of a complex issue and everyone will have their own opinion on that.
