This is the song that made me want to experiment with hip hop, and further my horizons as a musician...

Probably real bad form to respond to my own post but: I meant no disrespect to "you freekin' morons", I just get angry when I see the markets, foreclosures, etc. blowing the little guy out day after day. What I meant was: homogenization and commodification of the authentic (sometimes by other authentics, but too often by exploitive inauthentics) is a cultural phenomenom I've seen too many times in my ancient life. Great vid massacre007, thanks for posting, I didn't mean to bomb this thread.

There was no "rap", no "hip-hop" when GMF put this beauty forth you freekin' morons!. Rap and hip-hop were designed to exploit ( read: profit from) the righteous anger GMF was expressing in The Message, and, sadly, at the same time kill it off. Same old same old, over and over, endless, suck you in for the fast buck artists and the phony always wins. "Are we there yet, Daddy, are we there yet?" Oy, unfuckingbelievable.

Is this the first socially realistic hip hop song ever?

How did rap go from "The Message" to rapping about nonsense. Bring back the old school.
