Hip-Hop Greatest 100
by 
ObsoleteEntity 
There are some seriously dated albums on this chart, but I give extra credit to those artists that innovated. This includes early stuff. If someone hasn't yet made the road, how did they drive on it? I was break dancing in '82, so I have an affinity for those early crews.
