I grew up in Long Beach CA, where P.E.and other "performers" often reference.This stuff and it's derivatives, not my cup of tea.Thought the entire scene was nonsense back in 80. Thanks to MTV, it helped inspire the nation to dumb down,have illegitimate kids and speak like an idiot.
Amazing how this "lifestyle" influenced pop culture nation wide.
Edit:WAIT, I got my rap knowledge mixed up-these guys are east coast-Nevermind
I confuse these guys with the "others" from LA.

I agree ,you're confused in more ways than just geography!
i'm afraid i'm turning into my parents!
Best to just keep talkin gear.
Ya,I know,I prefer Celine Dion,Michael Bubbles and Michael Bolton,,,but you know what they say."Different strokes for different folks."
Much of my favorite music whether it be rock and roll, punk, freejazz, heavy metal etc is or was frowned upon by those who make little effort understanding what youth and rebellion and coming of age are about. Some 20th century classical music, Stravinski for example, caused riots and was thought to be the coming ruin of civilization as we know it.P.E sits nicely beside my Alice Cooper, Clash, Stooges, Sex Pistols, Gang Of Four, Dylan, Stones, Nirvana, Black Flag, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Misfits, Doors, Metallica, Beatles and many other LPs. Nothing you said about P.E (inspire the nation to dumb down,have illegitimate kids and speak like an idiot) has not been said about many of those Bands/LPs.
I never watched MTV and can only say I was influenced by sounds new, revolutionary, and groundbreaking (not always good), mostly rock and roll.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Still spinnin'...

Yeah, it's the written opinion that's can get misunderstoodNo disrespect to the fans of the music. My lack of follow through thought blew it there.
I think we can agree PE and similar attract listeners/fans of certain lifestyles?
All your mentions there.., I blast a copy almost daily.

I'd love for you to clarify what you meant by that statement rather than make an assumption.
I'm not sure "we can [all] agree."
Thank you!
Really? Guess I got lucky...
