That took me back: these kids out here posting on Rick Ross and fiending for the next Eminem single, but yet no one is checking for the greatest hip-hop group of all time. Let's reminisce.
That is THE greatest rap song ever made. Bar none. This is THE greatest hip hop group ever. Bar none. Chuck D was THE epitome of what it meant to be an MC; an MC with the power and knowledge to make a difference.
There is just nothing that comes close to the power, force (both sonically and with their message) of this group. Flav was the necessary comedian because Prof. Griff, Terminator X, Chuck and the rest were constantly on the attack.
For you young kids out there, do yourself a favor: listen to It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. It redefined what this music was about. Matter fact, I'm going to post it up for y'all lazy heads- check the right run-down. Respect.
