90s State of Mind: 90shiphopMixtape

We are three geeks stuck in the world of 80s and 90s nerd culture (and sometimes here and now) looking at cartoons, movies, music, TV, toys, conspiracies. Asking 'Are there too many reboots or not enough?' 'Can bands release music after a key member dies?' 'What is the best 80s cartoon or toy?' All this and much more!
