encyclopedia Hip Hop

Coming off the unpopular opinion of who has dope music or classic albums, the question is, what makes something dope to me? Well ...

From the Albums released from: Clipse, Slick Rick, Ghostface, Raekwon, Big L, and De La Soul; Nas had at least one verse, on the project; Im ranking my favorites

How did I do?

They're only opinions, and you will definitely not agree with them, but it's fun to discuss!

If you enjoy, I will do more

Just like the 80s episode ... taking some time to give you a few Hip Hop albums from the 90s that were dope, that you probably never listened to all the way (or heard of)

Another list of me counting down my favorite solo female emcees in Hip Hop ... this list will not match your favorites, but listen anyway!

Why is it important that an emcees writes his or her ... or their own rhymes? Why is it different from emcees and singers

Here is my opinion.

Taking some time to spotlight how emcees over 50 years old are making some of the dopest and strongest albums in the past few years, it's great as a huge fan of the Golden age of Hip Hop to see some of the greatest to ever do it remain great!

In the REAL Mixtape era of the early to mid 90s there were songs you only heard on Mixtapes, and without the Internet, most only heard from trading tapes/CDs or riding around with friends, wanted to point out some.

In the 80s and 90s there were always sports references in Hip Hop, the more obscure the better ... this is AFTER Basketball by Kurtis Blow.

Anyway, wanted to highlight a few, let me know your favorites
