1988 was without a doubt the best year for hip-hop. It was also the best year for the NBA. 1988 was the start of the ‘Golden Age’ of the basketball and hip-hop culture fusion that is known now as The “Dunkadelic-Era” In America, 1984-Present. I wish I could go into a time machine back to 1988.

This thing seems forced. Enough with the whole 20 year biz. There’s 1986, 1991, 1989,1979, etc. PE was amazing exactly because of the Chuck D/ Flav mix- Not in spite of Flav. Regardless of any reality show antics that would come later. No PE without Flav. RS was never on to rap until way after ‘88 anyway. No good.

Yeahhh Boyzzz! Public Enemy’s Nation of Millions was the album that drew my attention to rap music being that I was a die hard thrash metal/punk/hardcore fan at that time. And this album was spectacular for its anti-authoritarian, in your face attitude. And what other band would rap to Slayer’s Reign In Blood song as background music.
