eazy e transitioned after he got aids. Probably from the gay sex
>>70423305

No he caught AIDS but like magic Johnson sort of just got better. He transitioned and started doing gospel music...It was kind of a big deal at the time
Yea so Eminem can have the top spot there. Whites win again!

Yeah. Most popular music today is just an offshoot of rock our an offshoot of an offshoot or some sort of fusion. This includes hip hop.
Big band is dead. Even though country (and the blues) is supposed to be what inspired rock n rpll, over time rock has turned around and influenced country.
