Hip-Hop Peaked 20 Years Ago...

...according to Rolling Stone Magazine. And they just might be right. With albums like...PE's "It Takes a Million...", Run DMC's "Tougher Than Leather", EPMD's "Strictly Business", Slick Rick's "The Great Adventures..." and NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" in addition to seminal albums from Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith, Biz Markie, BDP, Ice T, Big Daddy Kane, MC Lyte & Eric B and Rakim just to name a few, you can't help but be jealous of those damn 70's babies for being wide eyed enough to enjoy those days.

Imagine stepping into the club in the summer of 1988 and hearing this joint for the first time, it was probably bananas...
