I respect Run DMC for jumping into rock and pulling white fans but I gotta say....
Outlast kept that old school rap alive. Just hearing their instrumentals from their first to recent albums have me reminiscent of the old school days.
Even big boi recent albums have old school like Shutterbug
I respect them to the ends of the earth for that.
kast was never known for rocking real breaks like that.
their production leans on ol school way of thought progression of funk from shuggie Otis.
there is not one classic kast breakbeat record that nikkaz point to in a new school hardcore bboy way of thought.
especially, if we talembout run dmc.
nikkaz are revising history.
kast was a sellout pimp gangsta rap group before dre slept with badu.
kast was not accepted in a cultural sense till dre was seen with erykah.
erykah's steez is what single-handidly created their perception as this culture enriched group.
before that, they were what if souls of mischief made no man's land before no man's land on laface/arista.
as a matter of fact if souls of mischief and gangsta rap.was not funk influenced in an commercial over-saturated manner.
they would have went nowhere like if souls debuted as their sellout incarnation content and rhymewise on no man's land.
souls are the beginning lenchpin stan group in the styles era.
that directed bboys to toys to image style, and skill sets for that gen culturally as a gateway.
