Fuck jazz hop or what ever you wanna label it, just dont title it golden era. ready to die, and reasonable doubt, DO NOT come as classic to anyone with a broad sense (yeh thats the way we spell it) of Hip Hop. albums like Illmatic where dope cos they catered to real heads, not some rnb bullish. Jazzy era??? LMFAO. Toys is what we call these simpletons. Jazz Hop was a fad that took off due to people wanting to make our music a little more light and chill. Illmatic wasnt jazz, neither was lifestyles by any means, come to think of it neither where the terrible reasonable doubt or R2D. Go wash your face in my sink, and get some Hip Hop 101, thats word to Masta Ase. You mr Tenners and any Hip Hop newbees, the golden era was 87-89 the only jazz stuff around was Gangstarr.
