I dig it. I never even heard the label until this thread. I always thought that style of music was a new evolution, a fusion of hard rock, alternative, rap, rasta, and reggae. Bands experimented with music a lot in that era, blending the genres together, and I really appreciated it. Then it all just went away, and we were left with nothing but pop and mumble rap getting promoted after that period of time. I used to think that the world went so hard for pop at the end of the 90's because everyone was tired of being depressed, and surrounded by grunge, but now I know it's just because the studios figured out a formula that churned out new "artists" without a need for originality or creativity.
