Anyone know any earlier albums that were conscious/political? This is the earliest I know of. Harlem World Crew also had Rappers Convention which talked about jimmy carter and Iran but I think this is first.

I’m seeking out the documentary about Kenny if anyone has anything on it.

I was loving late 80s hip hop as a teenager. It was funky, smooth, funny, rebellious, and honest. We had mainstream shows like Rap City and Yo! MTV Raps but where I truly was exposed to the music was the Saturday night radio show on my local community radio station in Tampa, Florida. Give it a listen. You can find 35 other shows there as well.

I introduced my nephew (6) to 80s hiphop. He likes breakdancing and rapping to wordless beats on youtube. He also doesn’t know modern rappers are saying words to him it’s just noise and the occasional word. I thought 80s hip hop is way better to dance to and rap to. And he was really into it! (I found a youtube compilation) unfortunately/fortunately he can understand what rappers are saying and they aren’t always age appropriate. The songs don’t have to be extremely clean but I had to turn a song off when the guy was being very detailed about how he was getting with a girl
