[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] And really early hip hop wasn't really message driven either. It was mostly about having fun, hanging out and other things. "Conscious" rap came later with folks like KRS One and so forth. When I say early hip hop I am talking about the mid to late 70s when there was no hip hop on the radio and the only place to hear it was in the house parties, in the park or on tapes made by DJs. This is when hip hop was primarily something you saw and heard live not on the radio or on CDs. Early hip hop was also about creating your own records to some degree as "white folks" meaning the recording industry was not putting it out. So many folks pressed their own records and tapes and sold them out of the trunks of their cars. This is the time when car audio was created by taking home speakers and custom speaker kits bought from catalogs and putting them in cars.... Only later in the 80s did things get more gritty with battle raps and other stuff and then "gangsta" rap. The hardest act in early hip hop on records was Run DMC. [/QB][/QUOTE]
