The reason for the lack of classic 80s hip hop on my list is only because of the quality of the recording and song-writing. Look at it as putting Bob Dylan, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones instead of Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf and Little Richard on a list; they're all great classics, but the former evolved in song-writing and production compared to the latter. I also find that underground/independent hip hop from the 2000s is often over-looked. There is a lot of good stuff people are missing out on, but I make it a goal to discover the most I can about a genre.
