its the fact that they are old enough to remember stuff from before eminem or nas, but dont, and the fact they remember the commercial shit first, i was born into whats basically a hip hop culture... everybody listened to it round my ends along with reggae, soul n shit like that.... but also i know alot of these kids dont listen to anything(or barely anything) from before the time they founded hip hop..... ive had kids i wont mention names, that ive talked to on here, and they dont even have a clue who kool herc is, n they are more or less the same age as me.
