My top ten Ol’ Skool Rap Joints

rap.jpg
I have always listened to Hip Hop since I was about 10. I sort of crept into music when I first heard of Snoop, Warren G and Rakim. I had no access to Yo MTV Raps back in the day coz there was no MTV in Kenya in 93′, or was there? I wasn’t that privileged anyway. Basically the list down here is a list of songs that have deep baselines…songs that I’d like to listen to in a car that is fresh from Pimp My Ride…It’s a personal list and I’m not trying to declare it as an official ol’ skool top 10.
