old

i turned the tv on tonight to destress... vh1 is showing a hip hop honors show, paying tribute to all sorts of old school 80's, and 90's hip hop. wreckx-n-effx, new jack city, eric b and rakim... played by neyo (that boy can dance), nelly, krs-one and others... if you can zone out the entourage of advertisements in between each 2 minute set....its actually an awesome show.

living in such a small town, the internet is my only connection to any sort of good music. no clubs, no radio stations... i wonder, watching this, how much of the audience really knows and appreciates true -- old school - and early 90's flavor. the dancing...and what the future of hip hop will be, when it becomes a fad of the past like electronic, burried with the britney spears and all the other pop one or a few hit wonders...

it will be interesting to see if in 20 years, 50 cent is the kiss of yesterday. with my kids or my friends' kids listening to what's new and cool, while mom and dad rocking out to the "oldies" - you know like nas, tribe or mobb deep.

the oldies featuring 50 cent...what a thought.
