Old School Mix Vol. 2 (1987-91)

DateWednesday, January 26, 2011 at 7:11PM

While making this mix I was reminded of the pure irreverence and downright misogynistic tone of hip-hop's second wave. The days of braggadocio and simple turf pride were surpassed in this era by street cred and pimp talk. Two things I realized during the making of this mix - A) I no longer listen to a lot of misogynistic music and B) as a pre-teen/early teen boy, these songs didn't influence me to disrespect women - hell, I was happy if a girl ever talked to me. Dirty raps just made us horny. This mix is for entertainment purposes only (and maybe a little dancing).
