classic hip hop albums

remember when the source mag was "the hip hop bible"?
remember when the source mag had more ads than features?
remember when the source mag got biased & opinionated?
remember when the source mag lost all credibility?
remember when the source mag went r.i.p.?
ahhhh, the good ol' daze.
*legend has it that drey used to smoke & talk nothing but hip hop
with his source in his back pocket...always.
hip hop heads on the east can agree on 70% of classic albums.
ra, pe, kane, atcq, de la, nas, jay, main source, etc...all hold a spot
on the list for us along with dre, snoop & cube on da left side of things.
if you're new or not too familiar with quality, heartfelt, treasured,
innovative, creative hip hop, this may be the list(s) of albums to
*drey clears throat* get.
lotta golden era releases here. for those puzzled about the
"hip hop is dead" saying, just take notice of the era(years) most
classics were released...see if you can spot the
golden era posts on this blog (dreysay2).
