Remember “A Different World”? Remember those “boho-bourgie” fashions? Remember ‘Me Myself and I’? Remember ‘People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm’? Remember rappers who rapped slower than they spoke? That sing-song, lazy, nursery-rhyme style? Remember swinging, double-bass-driven jazz loops? Remember “Flip Fantasia”? Remember lyrics inspired by Funkadelic instead of just samples taken from them? De La Soul, according to Robert Christgau: “they [were] new wave to Public Enemy's punk.” Remember Paul's Boutique? Remember hip hop that was hip?
