In an attempt to get this thread back on its rails and revive the actual debate, I've created two separate threads wherein you can proceed to discuss rap/hip-hop music;
Rap/Hip-Hop 1979-1999 - http://www.goonersworld.co.uk/forum/vie ... 43&t=30825
Rap/Hip-Hop 2000-now - http://www.goonersworld.co.uk/forum/vie ... 43&t=30824
Respect the thread title, please.
