  Voguing in 77 is bullshit
  cats breakin like its 84 is bullshit
  double time rap flows in 77 from kids who aint Kool Moe Dee is bullshit
  
  its taking modern styles and implementing them before it … (more)happened for entertainment sake. 
  
  They dont even need the 96 i remember theme. (less)

  so if Kanye in fact breaks up with Kim Kardashian, is his next album a good candidate to be the Here, My Dear of hip hop?
  

  No, because … (more)in this era folks are gonna be all over it checkin to see if the drama influences the art. It wont be the surprise that HMD was.
  
  The divorce factor isnt the defining trait. (less)

  Mad skeptical.......But im checkin it out.
  
  Nas is … (more)corny.
  Got mad Braeks Yo!
  Glee w/ costumes.
  Its has some great moments here and there.
  Reminds me of HBO VINYL w/ that moder take on '77.....mad Old NYC footage to help set the tone. 
  Kids are a little too shiny for the era, but it is what it is.
  
  Flash as a consultant drops some serious real dirty ass gems on the game. Serious gems. 
  
  White boy is introduced through the Graf game which is consistent, and his long hair ass is paired w/ Jaden Smith who is the most centered actor amongst the kids. 
  
  The non-Hip Hop drama holds up the story. Jimmy Smits and Giancarlo Esposito kill shit. 
  
  There alot on the plate but I hope it sticks a good landing.
