If you could only pick 5 albums to introduce someone to Hip Hop music, which would you choose?

Someone who has never heard it before, and you want to show them what is is, should sound like, etc.

We have our five, give us yours in the comments, twitter, and instagram @encyclopediaHH

Missy has hits on hits on hits, she appears on greatest female rapper lists, and other hip hop lists, but is she an emcee? Is she a dope rapper? Has she ever dropped a Hip Hop Album?

I consider her a mega pop star, you could argue R&B, but lets talk about it.

This episode of the Encyclopedia Hip hop Podcast Kyle from the @12kylepodcast and I go back to back 5 rounds and draft the best team of guest verses from Hip Hop song collabs!.. later on you can vote on IG and Twitter, and let us know who has the best team.

I Wanted to shine a spot line on some of the women in rhyme who put in work in the 80s and early 90s who do not get a lot of attention or mention in Hip Hop conversations ... maybe you'll go back in revisit some of their work or discover where some of the current flows come from.

This episode is legendary emcee Sweet Tee (Suga) listen and let me know what you think!

@encyclopediaHH

Remember when Hip hop was supposedly dead?

Remember when biting wasn't allowed?

Remember when emcees rhymed only to be considered the best?

Hip Hop and Hip Hop music used to be a fun escape ... it is no longer that, or dope; but I digress, and make podcast episodes.

There was a list circulating that had someones opinion of the Top 50 Female rappers of all time, and we don't mind telling you ... we disagreed.

And this episode explains why

We all love the 90s ... especially 95-97, but if you were around, you'd know that 1988 was a huge turning point for Hip hop music, so many debuts and timeless classics happened in just that one year, this episode is talking about that

We had to ... you saw that damn list.

12Kyle from the 12Kylepodcast and myself ... discuss the shitshow that was the top 200 Greatest Hip Hop Albums list by Rolling Stone, who SHOULD know better ... since they do/did not ... here's the ep.
