Metro Blurb:
This hip-hop walk down memory lane features Ice Cube, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Dispet, E-40, Too Short, Scarface, and Luniz. 25 years ago, the star power in this lineup would match the New York Yankees of the late 1920s. Today, these tenured spitters may not have two fingers to the pulse of youth culture, but they are the cornerstones upon which hip-hop has proliferated. Times have changed. Ice Cube made his name by rapping "F*ck the Police" and now has been typecasted as a gruff officer in multiple blockbuster films. But, this rap-a-palooza is a prime chance for the old heads to reminisce, and for younger fans to better understand the genre's boom-bap roots.
