Back in the Day

"You remember, Back in the Day." Funny how those words mean something completely different to everyone. For me back in the day is Planet Rock. Those that are younger say that back in the day was Biggie and Tupac. What the fuck? I remember sitting in the garage at my grandma's house listening to Planet Rock on vinyl over and over.

Party People! Party People!
Can y'all get funky?
Soul Sonic Force - can y'll get funky?
The Zulu Nation - can y'll get funky?
Yaaah!
Just hit me

Then that crazy ass beat hits. That is what Hip-Hop is all about.
It's all relevant to how you see it though. I mean do Oldies ever get replaced? Will Kayne West ever be placed next to The Drifters? I can see some Oldtimers totally flipping the fuck out if that ever happened. I mean can you imagine hearing "Under the Boardwalk" after "Through the Wire."

The thing that really gets to me, is seeing all the shit I grew up with coming back. I know that imitation is the biggest form of flattery, but damn doesn't the youth want something of their own. Even the fucking Jabbawokkies, stole our dance moves.
