I loved this soung during the opening credits of the movie "Strictly Business". Check out Kid & Play in the background and New Edition/BBD's Ricky Bell on the chourus.....

Rap was so diverse around this time. You had pro black rap, party rap, intelligent rap. gangsta rap etc. But since gangsta rap was clear big seller other than Public Enemy everyone jumped on the band wagon. All the record labels had their gangsta group. I wonder what would happen to hip hop if it stayed diverse.

Hip-Hop always has and always will be diverse, it's just unfortunatley the more money, marketing and image that gets thrown around and in our faces, we see less emcees yet more and more hustlers and rappers.
