More than a Hip Hop anthem, “Don’t Believe The Hype” became a principle for a whole generation not only because of the one’s attitude toward music or even art in general, but towards life. Hip Hop would never be the same after this twelve inch, and a special thanks must be given to The Bomb Squad team, the Flavor Flav’s lyrics in “Don’t Believe The Hype”, and Chuck D’s one in “The Rhythm, The Rebel” (which also became a sort of principle of a underground artistic behavior in the realm of the dance music). I hope this legacy can influence the new generations, so that they can rebel themselves against trendy, hype and expendable mainstream sounds.
