What's good, y'all!! We're back at it again, and I'm pleased to say that we've picked up out "History Of Hip-Hop" series again this year.
We started the series with 1979 and took you on a journey though the first decade of hip-hop as seen through the eyes of The Rub. In no way is this to be considered a "Best Of" but more of a collection of personal favorites and songs that we feel really represented the year properly. But guaranteed you will be getting some of the best hip-hop songs ever created.
And so with no further hestiation, let's get to it!
