Things that don't get rapped about anymore

I've been listening to lots of 88-96 era hip-hop lately and have realized there are a lot of common topics that are no longer that common, such as:

- Robin Givens

- statements about not being Keith Sweat and therefore asking not to be sweated

- one's level of Asiatic-ness

we're at funny point now bc the last ppl to remember everything, like rappers delight coming out & before are probably nearing the end of their relevance to the game, thinking like wu, nas, jay-z. even tho ppl born ten years later like kanye & lil wayne are both very referential + very influential, it seems like one of the last points where the whole history can be held inside the genre.

1. Tattoos / ink.

paulhw, Tuesday, 24 August 2010 00:51 (fifteen years ago)

Killah Priest is still making albums, but I don't think he's rapping about Five Percentism anymore. TBH his religious views were always kind of a mystery to me... There's the Islamic stuff, but then many of his tunes are also heavily influenced by Christian mysticism, and IIRC on one track he claims to be an atheist.
