20 years from now there will be nikkas talking about how they wish hip hop was the way it is now.

I blame Puff. I think the shiny suit era was the first sign of the downfall.

No, but they both played a role in the demise of hiphop to a degree imo

Walk this way was the 1st blatant sellout rap song, and opened doors for more sellouts in the future

and vanilla ice showed us who could (and eventually would) really dominate our culture in terms of success
