HIP HOP IS A TRIP...IT WENT FROM BEING LIKE NOVELTY MUSIC (SUGARHILL GANG,FAT BOYS,2 LIVE CREW)
TO BEING SERIOUS(PUBLIC ENEMY,X CLAN,RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS)
TO GANGSTER AND PIMP(NWA,2 LIVE CREW,TOO SHORT,ICE-T)
TO FLASHY (CASH MONEY,PAUL WALL,KANYE)
TO SILLY AND POPPISH(OFW,LIL B,SOULJAH BOY)
I KNOW IT WASNT LIKE THAT TO A TEE, CAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS.
I'M JUST SAYING IN GENERAL.
SEEMS LIKE THESE HAVE BEEN THE TRENDS MORE OR LESS,WITHIN THE ARTFORM
