1988 is probably my favorite year for hip-hop. Others have picked 93 or 94, but for me, it’s all about 1988. It was my freshman year of High School, I had the fresh Aiwa walkman with Bass Boost, and some big 15" Fisher woofers at home. Public Enemy, NWA, Eazy-E, BDK, EPMD, BDP, Run-DMC…all had amazing albums that year. So a few years ago I put together this mix of only cuts from 1988.
Mixcloud blocked it for licensing reasons, so I’m hosting it here.
Fresh for ‘88….you suckersssss!
