Just a Few of ...

... my favorite hip hop favs. One of my friends e-mailed me wanting a playlist of what I considered my favorite hip hop songs from a specific era. I gave her this: a sampling of a specific sound and era of hip hop. Thus I throw a little Kanye and Lupe in the mix. Let me know what you think, and what else you'd add to this working list.
