    but that didn't come at the cost of making fun music though

    It doesn't now for artists who see the competition in a positive light.

    You're kinda curving it tho. Yeah you see them having fun there but people like Grandmaster Flash were def competing in the city before they blew up

    All the DJ battles and MC competitions.. like Flash was one of the founders of that tradition.....hip hops origin was still heavily competitive before the genre took off into the music industry and acts had to be the best to make it out

    Flash and his crew were trying to be better than Afrika Bambataa and he was trying to be better than Kool Herc's crew. It's always been there.

    He said this in Sample This, a documentary on Netflix

    These are the people that made hip hop. Seems to me it’s about having a good time, but hip hop doesn’t need to be anything.

    With that being said this s*** has aged like absolute crap 😂
