That's what i mean by context..listen to Drama for example, or Power,Squeeze the trigger,Mind over matter,The Tower .There is no way you'd listen to those songs and call him trash.Based of who and what at that time was popping is he trash? You cannot take an body of work and use broad strokes to paint a picture 30 yrs later calling him trash,that is just making statements based on what you like,not what you know.Power came out in 88 so unless you had a working grasp on what was trash in 88 your opinion is colored by the era you grew up and the form of the day.I would not call Chuck Berry wack just cause i grew up with Led Zeppelin and did not see his DNA in all of rock music.But you have every right to call them old artists out for being wack in 88 when we have so much better rappers in 2017.We should hold our mentors in higher regard but that is not a popular stance nowadays
