OK, my history of hip-hop, as it stands in bullet points, is outlined here. Anything else anyone can think of that's really important?

1975 DJ Kool Herc
Mid-70s Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa
1977 Blackout + Riots
1979 Rapper's Delight
1986 Run DMC's Raising Hell
1986 Beastie Boys' Licensed To Ill
1987 Eric B and Rakim's Paid in Full
1988 Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
1989 NWA's Straight Outta Compton
1989 De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising
1991 A Tribe Called Quest's Low End Theory
Early-90s Dr. Dre's The Chronic, Snoop Dogg, Enter the Wu-Tang
1994 Nas' Illmatic
1996 Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt and Outkast's ATLiens
Late-90s Black Star and (or perhaps better put, vs) Eminem
2001 Gorillaz's Clint Eastwood
2001 Jay-Z's The Blueprint
Mid to late-2000s (rushing through this to show poppiness of mainstream rap sorry Madvillain you're still my favorite) "Hey Ya", Pitbull, "Empire State of Mind", Drake
20teens I'm Gay, "Same Love", Frank Ocean

I do intend to give a thorough response to the questions posed, but I've been busy. I will be back with something substantial though, apologies it hasn't happened yet.

Thank you so much, and no worries man. I've got another week, the teacher was actually surprised I'd even started. Most of the class hasn't ...

OK, here's the finished product, if anyone's curious:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/229584730/A-V...nd-America

Additionally, 2 notes: 1 This was way over the maximum length so I didn't go as in depth as I wanted and 2 HTTS, I don't list you in the "additional thanks" only because my history teacher is super duper anti-drugs and has gotten mad at kids for calling things "dope" to mean cool. So he might've/would've gotten upset ... but know that I appreciate your help sincerely.

Ha, ah nah that's fine, barely gave you enough to deserve it anyway.

Will have a read when I've got some time.
