Hip Hop I Grew Up On

I was rummaging through some old CD's and came across some great old hip hop songs. I use to listen to the 3 songs posted below, constantly. I wanted to share these with everyone because if you don't know music from the past, and have a definite appreciation for it, you can't have a deep appreciation for anything in the future. I think if you ask everyone who is a fan of music, a lot of their favorite music (if not most of it), is from the past. Here is the great, GREAT, hip hop that I came up on. This is back when stories in music actually meant something! Few, great lyricists still do this today.

Souls Of Mischief "93 Til Infinity"


Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth "They Reminisce Over You"


A Tribe Called Quest "Check The Rhime" (Check out Q-Tip!)
