Crazy, I remember the old days of hip hop, the late 80s. Arguably the zenith of the art form, the golden age. I hadn't the slightest clue back then that it would be used to sell Chryslers, vodka, and that some of the veteran practicioners would be chopping it up with Warren Buffet.

It's come a long way, from basement/block parties to a cultural force.
