I miss early 90s hip hop!
I was just listening to "Del the Funky Homospiens" "Get off my couch"

There isn't any hip-hop like that anymore.

That sort of swinging beat with remotley innocent lyrics.
I miss those days.

10. Del the Funky Homosapien is in a newer group you might like...
They are called "Gorillaz," and they made a splash a couple years ago with a tune called "Clint Eastwood" with Del rapping. It's good stuff, mate!
