70s and 80s baby are really the only ones keeping that old school hiphop alive.
80s babies are in there 40s now and we're pretty much the last generation that grew up on Pac, Biggie and remember Bone and when Snoop first dropped. And that's early 80s.
These newer generations know a few old hits, but they never read Source and Murder Dog and busted the plastic on a new CD or cassette first day it dropped. And listen to the entire album and read the booklet.
Even down here in Louisiana, the 20 somethings don't really know how significant 400 Degreez and Ghetto Dope is and never will. They know nothing of Scarface and 8ball and MJG. I'm pretty sure it's like this all over. Correct me if i'm wrong, but do the youngins still want to hear Slick Rick in the club in NYC??
Problem is the OG DJs are retiring from the parties. So in 10 years or so, who;s going to be keeping the early 90s, late 80s music alive. Honestly I can't tell you the last time I heard Run DMC in the club when I lived on the East Coast.
