#NOSTALGIA 90S HIP HOP SERIES#
“When it came to hip-hop there was always a misunderstanding of who, what, where, why and when,” says Grandmaster Flash, one of hip-hop’s elder statesman and an associate producer on the upcoming Netflix series The Get Down. While music lovers are keeping a close eye and ear out for the new, everyone else seems to be focusing on the old schools. Graphic novels, television, feature films and documentaries are resurrecting the culture’s past in what appears to be a mini-renaissance of hip-hop nostalgia.
But for the generations that grew up with hip-hop back in two fertile periods of the genre - the late Seventies and the early-to-mid Nineties - there’s something to be gained by revisiting its heydays.
Though the foundation of sampling old records and shout-outs to forefathers forever keeps one eye towards the past, young fans of the genre crave originality and the cutting-edge. Hip-Hop is always ready to champion the next.
