Rap went to shit in 95. Too much emphasis on money.

Groups like The Roots and The Pharcyde called this early. Listen to "Drop" by Pharcyde and more importantly

Watch the original video for "What they do" by the roots. (The one with the captions).

...you know what...Watch the edited version WITHOUT the captions first...then watch the original captioned video.

The edited version was the standard that was played on TV and heavily circulated...

At first glance it seems like little more than a generic rap video. Nothing spectacular or innovative...but the captions MAKE the video

They literally called out the industry for what it is. Predicted the direction it was headed and where we are today.

The threat that killed hiphop was not the violence... it was the money.

Not kidding check out the two videos back to back if you don't know what I'm talking about and you'll understand why the captioned video was kept in a vault for years compared to the original.

...seriously.. why would ((they)) even make a non-captioned video? Why? The captions are critical to the entire premise.
