Are y'all talking about hiphop or other forms of music?
Because the 80's pretty much established the foundation of hiphop as a legitimate genre that was here to stay and not a fad.
All of these albums came out in the 80's:
Without them, hip-hop probably wouldn't even be around today.

nah. Getting my shit ready for the morning and looking on Ebay for some production equipment. I need to rebuild my recoding rig for cheap.

Nah b. Hip Hop, House, and Techno all established their legitimacy in the 80's. RnB took it's first steps away from Black-only listeners, and a lot of stuff that folks in the hood would never have heard on "urban" radio got a chance at a new audience. There's a reason Black folks from my generation know who The Police, Duran Duran, Ah-Ha, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, etc are and have our favorite joints by them.
Sonically, the 80's was a time of experimentation like no other. Sampling was somewhat affordable thanks to E-mu and Ensoniq, analog and digital synths and drum machines brought whole new sound palettes and pulling it all together with MIDI sequencers created a whole new approach to making music.
Also, not everyone had cable back then either, so to say that MTV helped lead to saturation is a bit of a stretch. Payola from the record labels to the radio stations and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which de-regulated radio so that companies could own more than one station in a given market did it. Because of that bill, Clear Channel, Ennis, Radio One, and a few other media companies were able to buy up every radio station and consolidate their playlists regionally as well as nationally. What's "hot" in every market is controlled not by the program directors and DJ's, but by corporate suits that create playlists based on who was paying them money to be included in the playlist.
^^^ This is what created saturation, not MTV.

@DOS_patos. Moving the conversation. Why do you think that a person has to be overly emotional when it comes to things. I have a bullet scar on my shoulder. Yes I was angry and yes there was retaliation but there just wasn’t a whole lot of child like reactions. Again just because you are angry doesn’t mean you have to yell, scream, curse talk about all you are going to do to the person. If you are going to do something just do it and there are a million ways to get your point across with out yelling and cursing. No one has ever been physically hurt by actual words only actual actions.

Yea, I see what you’re sayin. The radio monopoly definitely played a major role.

We were talking about music in general. There no denying hip hops foundation & greatest albums all started in the mid to late 80’s. I got a whole series devoted to this in the Record Store my nigga.
