I believe the same holds true for Old School music (Soul/R&B)......many of the songs from the 60s and 70s had "adult content" - however, it was delivered a little more carefully....or at least as a child, you didn't fully understand the message being conveyed. Earlier days in hip hop may have had the same messages in some of the songs....however, most of them were conveyed much more delicately....or you were so concerned about the party (or the story), you missed the fact that the song was about he and his girl.....
In my opinion, the tide turned during the NWA years for the West.....and the Luke years for the South. I welcome your comments.
