Game evolved a lot after the 80s
You gotta keep it. People making these lists likely didn't grow up on 80s rap, so chatgpt isn't gonna pull that data when it's doing its thing
Would you prefer people pretend to rank a token 80s rapper high when they don't even fukk with their music like that?
80's was the most positive decade out of every decade. Not so much cursing. Violent rap was at a minimum. Smoking weed and doing drugs was was looked down on. The conscious era started in the late 80's on a level we never saw again. So there's holes in that statement when you say "evolve" knowing damn well the evil started in the early 90's and stayed within the culture since. The culture itself was way more alive in the 80's then any other decade. 80's was the last decade that the DJ got to shine as the star. The rapper became the star solely once the 90's hit but the DJ started as the star when the culture began.
Run had Runs house. Flav had Flavor of Love. And NWA had a whole movie that was a phenomenon that spawned Straight Outta T Shirts. Ice T is on Law and Order, Will Smith is one of the biggest Hollywood stars.
