What i call coscious hip hop / rap

If you fight for your limitations you get to keep em'; Perhaps it would be a good time to start being more flexible.

Hmm, I don't feel that Nas's flow/lyrics on Illmatic had that much of an impact albeit definitely better than most. Miles completely transformed what Jazz could be (together with other influential musicians).

The production wasn't that different from a lot of other golden age/early 90ies records either, though again clearly some of the tracks are absolute classics (NY State of Mind!). As always the best tracks were produced by Premier and his sound didn't change much from 1990 and up until present day (not complaining about that).

Anyways it was just a friendly remark, I got your point and really didn't want to make a discussion out of it :)
