Look at Dr. Dre and Snoop on the Chronic, once again they were dressed up like regular (urban) guys, and they rapped about partying, etc. Sure it's got that layer of 'killing foos is ok', but strip that away and Snoop/Dre looked like regular dudes. Definitely in contrast to B.I.G.<BR/>But like I said, I can't comment much about the music.Herr Zrbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728690738360128504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-12812476320371526492008-06-24T11:32:00.000-07:002008-06-24T11:32:00.000-07:00Yeah, and rap really stuck with that whole "normal...Yeah, and rap really stuck with that whole "normal guy" thing.Little Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415022026000282965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-34330067656970948282008-06-24T10:53:00.000-07:002008-06-24T10:53:00.000-07:00I thought that Run-DMC gained popularity because t...I thought that Run-DMC gained popularity because they were the first rap artists who looked like normal guys. Like with their adidas shoes and Raiders(?) jackets, they were accessible icons. Sort of like how the look of the grunge era Seattlites was in complete contrast to the glitzy glam of Motley Crue, ya know? I have no idea about the music though.<BR/><BR/>Hey, don't forget 'Christmas in Hollis', still have to bust that one out every Xmas.Herr Zrbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15728690738360128504noreply@blogger.com
