If Rakim had the internet in 1990 Hip Hop would arguably be different. I think that people like us, who adore music from the back pack, boom bap era would have a constant cycle of music to listen to and tours to attend.
Think about it. The problem isn’t Hot 97 or KMEL. The problem is how a few artists are played over and over again and how their artistic range is tied to Universal Music’s shareholders dividends *[more on this in the next post].
If Rakim had the internet in 1990 perhaps:
1. Eric B could have e-mailed beats to Rass Kass.
2. We would have an online distribution network of emcees and artist.
3. You Tube in 1990 would have circumvented the power of MTV. N*ggas could just put their videos up on YouTube.
4. VIBE arguably would not have been as powerful, as there would be OTHER sources to get hip hop from and consequently Biggie and Pac would not have been murdered. Nah. That prolly would have happened. APS is a specific Internet study and order viagra from canada testing system for driver’s education in California.
