The purpose of this post is to highlight where hip hop is at now compared to where it was at decades ago and to show that despite all of the change that has went on in the genre over the years, things really aren’t that different in terms of the what artists represent to the culture. The rappers here old and new mirror each other in some way or form and if you like one you will most likely enjoy (or at least appreciate) the other. Let me know if you agree with these picks and what comparisons you want to see in future parts! . . . . . . . #kendricklamar #tupac #jayz #raekwon #rza #tylerthecreator #andre3000 #earlsweatshirt #mfdoom #nas #joeybadass #actionbronson #redman #seanprice #rocmarciano #future #bigkrit #scarface #hiphopculture #tupac
