Remember when Emcees and Rap Groups just wanted to be seen as or known as the best? The best lyrics, Best Beats, Best DJ, Best Dancers? No one cared about a record sold or a chart.

Going back looking at some of my favorite videos of the 80s and 90s to tell you or remind you how dope , wild, or just funny they were ... then you can go back and check them out again or for the first time. This time Special Ed: Think About it!

My Favorite Hip Hop Group of all time, of course I'm going to rank their albums!

The Funk Doc has one of the best discographies in all of Hip Hop IMO Let's put them in order!

It is now, in the 70s, 8-0s, and early 90s we didn't care where you were from, what coast, what section, what whatever, the only thing that mattered was if the music was dope.

This episode Dana Dane, his story rhymes and why I think he's the best to do it.

Just like I ranked all of the Albums AZ had (at the time) I'm ranking the Discography of Kool G Rap ... lets see if my order matches your order.

The Kangol Kid, Doctor Ice, The Educated Rapper, and Mix Master Ice collectively known as UTFO The Untouchable Force Organization. One of my favorite Hip Hop Groups of all time, so I wanted to do a long overdue episode ... let me know what you think!

Coming off the unpopular opinion of who has dope music or classic albums, the question is, what makes something dope to me? Well ...

From the Albums released from: Clipse, Slick Rick, Ghostface, Raekwon, Big L, and De La Soul; Nas had at least one verse, on the project; Im ranking my favorites How did I do?

They're only opinions, and you will definitely not agree with them, but it's fun to discuss! If you enjoy, I will do more

Just like the 80s episode ... taking some time to give you a few Hip Hop albums from the 90s that were dope, that you probably never listened to all the way (or heard of)

Taking some time to give you a few Hip Hop albums from the 80s that were dope, that you probably never listened to all the way (or heard of)

Another list of me counting down my favorite solo female emcees in Hip Hop ... this list will not match your favorites, but listen anyway!

Why is it important that an emcees writes his or her ... or their own rhymes? Why is it different from emcees and singers Here is my opinion.

Taking some time to spotlight how emcees over 50 years old are making some of the dopest and strongest albums in the past few years, it's great as a huge fan of the Golden age of Hip Hop to see some of the greatest to ever do it remain great!
