Favorite album from the Golden Age of Hip-Hop (1988)

Public Enemy - Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

I've had this album for like 6 years, and a few months ago I banged it out for the first time in like a year & I've been bumping it daily.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

But if "The D.O.C." had came out in 88' instead of the following year...
It would have been my #1 pick outta the bunch.

1988 isnt the golden age fools, i explained this beofore lol

for the slow ones:


the golden age is the period in hip-hop that rap-music got commercial succes and that the subgenres devolepped

1986 till 1992
^^^^^^thats the golden age
1988 is just 1 year during the golden age

(i prolly sounded cocky like fuck in this post lol, im sorry)

^^ You have some points, but 1988 is widely considered to be the Golden Age of Hip-Hop.
