Crank's superpower is his ability to put these concepts out that NOBODY else even thinks about. He's talented beyond just barring us down with a song. This is life!
8 decades of rap in one video but we can't hit the like button 8 times 😭 Crank deserves a lot more recognition, he's been delivering the best bars while making us laugh for years
You're a beautiful soul. Time and again you prove there's still a lot of love left not just for hip hop but humanity at large. The world needs visionaries like you. I'm beaing honest. A beautiful vid. Much love from Central Europe.

I'm a guy who honestly has no interest in rap or hip-hop at all, but this was phenomenal. Just like all genres of music, it's amazing how each decade has it's own distinct flow and style, and you captured them all flawlessly. Excellent work.
Surprised that 2010s and 2020s didn't quite sound like Mumble rap. Maybe 2010 a little bit but it didn't really give off that vibe for me. My favorite era was the 2000s just good choruses and stuff
My favorite rap years we're 70s 80s and 90s but alot of people sleep on earlier rap i actually vibe to older 80s and 70s rap a little bit more now and im only 35 born in 89
I dont listen to RAP but used to in 90s and am familiar with some bigger rappers. I just discovered your videos and really cant stop watching them They are done so good and i am really enjoying it.
Really enjoyed it! As a Gen X I tapped out (mentally) at the "2000" bit, but I'm educated enough to know there's more than the popular styles you portrayed in this video (Madlib productions etc)... still... keep doin' what ya doin' ! peace!

Playboi Carti, Danny Brown and Westside Gunn don't really sound similar though
90s really was some of the best rap had to offer. I miss those days. Early 2000s was the beginning of the end.
That 70’s version was happnin. You just forgot the “uh ha ha ha” at the end lol
Yes. Very accurate.
The "uh hu hu hu" is more of a late late 70s early 80s ad-lib thing even when they go "HUWAH‼️".

Sounded more like Rakim Allah, to me
Naw Rin DMC with the style in the mean flow
