Although I agree in some ways Moon L.  I disagree, it was created, not
in a vacuum, but out of the plight of the ghetto.  I agree who want to
listen to anything with wack-ass beats---true-that!

But without beats, in the beginning, these cats just stood on the stairs
or the corner, and just made lyrics about the hood.  Thats all, nothing
more nothing less.  But progression does take place(sometimes for the
worse----soooo)-----it depends on what frame or reference point U
understand it from!

Hk-90!
