    This supposed 'documentary" about rap in the 90's jumps from 1990/91 to 1996/97 in the first 5 minutes. Yeah, because there was NOTHING going on in hip hop between MC Hammer's big breakthrough in 1990 and Busta Rhymes' break in '96. Does anyone still consider MTV a considerable source?

    • @skillaxxx
      @skillaxxx 4 года назад +2

      Busta's first big break came with Scenario in '91. But yes, this focussed more on innovative music videos than the music and culture itself, they skipped a lot. Especially the development of all the different flow styles and lyrical game changers.
