when the "golden era" hit it was just this crazy opening up of black voices, narratives, ideas, histories for me, it was like a very sudden expansion
Yeah, totally. And -- contra the thread title -- it wasn't just about the political stuff, it was Rob Base and LL and Tone Loc and Salt n Pepa and New Jack Swing, just a whole vibrant world of hip-hop.

m@tt otm, for me it was 'fear of a black planet' and then 'death certificate' and 'the predator'. really eye-opening, especially considering those were never played on radio around me out in the sticks and everyone i know who listened to hip-hop was mostly into the beastie boys. and 3rd bass for some reason. i remember listening to 'death certificate' on headphones in my room and feeling like i was listening to the greatest shit i'd ever heard. more intense for me than any punk album i'd heard.

I did have some weird geographic proximity being in the LA 'burbs. Which were totally white (and asian) so I found it kinda mind-boggling that Above the Law were just a few miles away from me in Pomona. I had been through South Central, I knew where Crenshaw Blvd was. (My dad once took the family to visit the Watts Towers, the significance of which did not register with me until much later). Girls would dance to Tone Loc's Wild Thing and Funky Cold Medina and JJ Fad on the jukebox in the high school cafeteria. So hip hop culture wasn't totally an abstraction to me, it was just this thing that was a few towns away, and now here was a whole rich body of work cracking the door on what it was like over there.

""When the '90s were coming in, a whole bunch of different things were happening in society that rap music was answering to, which showed itself as being a diverse art form," he recalled. "Therefore, the threat of black people having something to say, with their large vocabularies through rap music, was something that kind of threw the media on its side for a minute. So I saw this coming."
As a result, the culture lost more than it gained, Chuck D contends.
"Because you see a few people make financial gains, [that] doesn't mean that the entire movement and people were catapulting forward," he said. "That's what I saw at the end of the '90s-somebody was defining us before we could define ourselves."
Rappers, Chuck D added, began to do anything for money, such as glorifying drug dealing.
"People started giving drug dealers props. I've seen neighborhoods wiped out by drug dealers for like a 15- to 20-year period. It's very easy to take advantage of black people because it's been done for 300 years, and we've learned to love the abuse."

Off-topic but this is one of the things that trips me out about LA whenever I visit: just getting my head around all the cultural/subcultural phenomena spawned within that single arid basin.
It's not like NYC or London, which LOOK the part of culturally fertile metropolises, complicated by density, verticality, or convolution. LA is sneaky that way...
