Lord Finesse, Diamond D, Big L, O.C., Fat Joe, Buckwild, Showbiz and A.G. The Collective is not talked about enough ... so I'm talking.

In the 80s and 90s there was a clear difference, back when emceeing was a vocal sport vs. research and bringing personal issues to the music.

Kid n Play, Salt n Pepa, Sweet Tee, Antionette, Dana Dane, Kwame ... WHAT was Hurby doing!? They were all together and did NOTHING!

In the 90s Sprite launched a campaign with the slogan "Obey your thirst" directed to the Hip Hop Audience ... lets talk about it
