"Nowadays it is en vogue to lament the Golden Era years of Hip-Hop--and for good reason. Despite the juggernaut that Hip-Hop has become, both artists and fans have become disillusioned. The mis-education is prevailing! Sure, times change, but it's no excuse to forget." -Sonya, Moll Media International
