Interesting comments about Outkast above, kind of like how Kweli has a really unique, clear sound while Mos Def has much more mainstream production (but subverts it with some live instrumentation and interesting sounds, etc). I like both a lot, and Mos Def makes me wonder if I could enjoy mainstream hiphop a lot more if I gave it a chance.

Also implicit in the Golden Age concept was the notion that the latter ages were when everything interesting happens.
Oh, OK, hip-hop. I think it's fine at the moment, and now is really the only time when I'm even remotely starting to get any kind of coherent grip on 'what's happening'.

Very *very* good analogy, Tom.
