[B. Steez]

I thought OBFCL was released in 94...

was that 93?

Anywho, 94 is by far the dopest year hip hop has ever experienced and it will never be seen again..

the dopest era of hip hop, which is my generations era...is like...93-96...

early 97...maybe..

Redman - Dare iz a Darkside

Method Man - Tical

[BrainCellKilla]

REGULAAAAATOOOOORS! Mount up.

Close, but it's no '88.

NWA - Straight Outta Compton LP
Eazy-E - Eazy Duz It LP
Big Daddy Kane - Long Live the Kane LP
Biz Markie - Goin' Off LP
Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back LP
Kool G Rap & Polo - Road to the Riches LP
Slick Rick - The Great Adventures of Slick Rick
Boogie Down Productions - By Any Means Necessary LP
Eric B & Rakim - Follow the Leader LP
EPMD - Strictly Business LP
Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper LP
The Jungle Brothers - Straight Out the Jungle LP
Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud - Girls I Got Em Locked LP (word to Paul C)
Doug E Fresh & the Get Fresh Crew - World's Greatest Entertainer LP
Stetsasonic - In Full Gear LP
De La Soul "Plug Tunin" and "Potholes In My Lawn" singles
Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock "It Takes 2" single
Salt N Pepa "Push It"
Kool Moe Dee "Wild Wild West"
Craig G "Droppin Science"


I can understand if you weren't around for it, you won't have the same feeling of nostalgia for it. But even from an objective music history perspective - that was the golden era and dopest year in hip-hop - the turning point. I bet every single artist that put out an album in '94 would even agree.

Anyone heard Main Source "F*ck What You Think"?

[Wise Easer]

Ready to Die and Illmatic are the #1 and #2 albums of all time.
