Vol. 15 - The History of Rap and Hip Hop

Another mix that was a-long-time-coming. This is a large subject to cover (this was originally supposed to be one disk, not four) and I know I’ve left off a lot of good artists so consider this a snapshot of the rappers that have inspired me. Somewhat arranged by the era of rap at the time, I think this gives a good chronology of the genre from Grandmaster Flash and Run DMC to Jurassic 5 and Outkast. Giddy up.
