- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great read/listen,
Rappers MCs get 1st spot, Dis 2nd, Bboys/bgirls 3rd, graf writers 4th, beatboxers can't remember a mention of Rhazel atleast. Timelines challenging to follow back in time constantly, I feel u get in the zone and vibe of the times then a change or shift in topic takes u back all over again, just me I prob prefer chronological from start. I'll prob listen again at some time to check up on my facts. Updates on 2020 was good George Floyd fall out still happening,peace out
