We are doing ties. However, if after three matches there aren't two clear group leaders, I will look at head-to-head records and then a potential bonus tiebreaker round. This is explained in more detail on the format and rules thread.

When I did this

RYM Charts: 90's Hip Hop Rarities RANKED by Tha1ChiefRocka

I found a lot of greats from the 90s, but especially 95.

If anybody needs a more obscure rec for their year, then you may find one in here.

90s hip-hop covers really are something aren't they.

Might pick up 3-4 of those. Haven't heard any.

yeah 1995 is a great year. I have only heard maybe 15-20 hip hop or hip hop adjacent albums(including trip hop and R&B albums that have elements). None of the ones on that chart are familiar to me.

I have been listening to lots from 1995 for "research" especially singles. And I'm finding more and more I like.

Lol yep, pretty great match up that would be! Let’s do it. Nah NEVERMIND.

I'm actually terrified at what you might choose, because 95 goes so deep. You've got a real deep pool.

Hey Merc, if you want to nominate that, then I'll put this for 2006, and we can have the worst round possible.

you all should be happy there is a limit on how often we can recycle songs/albums. Cuz if I spammed this song alone, regardless of other choices, me and '95 would absolutely wipe the floor with every match.

One of the seminal rap or pop rap tracks ever made - possibly THE pinnacle?

Thanks for confirming it was a good thing The Beatles broke up and never had an opportunity to tarnish their name with this... hahaha.

Wow... that's almost as bad as Rappin' for Jesus.

Sweet! Can I make you tournament co-host in that case? (If so, I owe you a beer, sometime in a distant future most likely.)
