Nas - Illmatic

It's really too hard for me to say. I've struggled, but probably more than half of my entire music collection is hip hop. It's really hard to narrow that down to five. MIDNIGHT MARAUDERS is definitely my #1 though. And ENTER THE WU-TANG is way up there.

1) Dr Dooom "First Come First Served"
2) Dead Prez "Lets Get Free"
3) e-40 "The Element of Surprise"
4) The Grouch "Dont Talk to Me"
5) 2pac "All Eyes on Me"

By the way, I urge you all to go and listen to the vintage hip hop mixes that wfmu have been posting on their blog. gold.

like this one: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2008/0...x-machine.html

haha you can't really go wrong with three 6. besides the fact that it is possibly some of the dumbest music i've ever heard it is just too good to deny.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Inhuman again.
