NAH, unless he got a cousin in a major city sending him mixtapes, his ass aint hearing no damn hip hop. it wasnt until the mid 90's some cities let that shyt rock foreal. some places only played hip hop after 9pm on friday and saturday night in the early 90's.
Nah, @DoubleClutch is right man.
If this season takes place in 1985 then RUN DMC's "Rock Box" would've been getting play on MTV for a solid year. Not to mention "King Of Rock" came out early 1985 and went platinum. That video would've been all over MTV too.
It's not a deal breaker this season but if next season takes place in '86 or later and has no hip-hop I'm gonna be side-eyeing the show.
