Hard Core Funky Beats

While at the beach in Avon in God's Country we've had a decent amount of rain, including a storm that rolled in last night as we were on the ferry from Okracoke to Hatteras Island.  Despite the rain we're having a great and relaxing time at the Outer Banks.   

Due to the rain we've been inside more than usual, and this morning I was playing my iPod on random when "Fight the Power' by PE came on (after a song by Kristi Stassinopoulou, FYI).  Listening to 'classic' PE - the song is from 1989, but you knew that - reminded me that the two worst things to happen to hip hop were: Snoop Dogg, who killed it my turning it into music for clowns and morons; and Terminator X's retirement from making hard core funky beats to become of all things an ostrich rancher (in God's country, where else?).


Hip hop has never fully recovered.
