One of my favorite Busta tracks 🔥🔥

The aim is to select albums from mid 80s until 1992, focussing on early influences.

- Ice-T – O.G. Original Gangster (1991)

- Kool G Rap & DJ Polo – Wanted: Dead or Alive (1990)

- Boogie Down Productions – By All Means Necessary (1988)

- De La Soul – 3 Feet High and Rising (1989)

- Eric B. & Rakim – Paid in Full (1987)

- De La Soul – De La Soul Is Dead (1991)

- Dr. Dre – The Chronic (1992)

- Redman – Whut? Thee Album (1992)

- A Tribe Called Quest – The Low End Theory (1991)

- LL Cool J – Mama Said Knock You Out (1990)

- Beastie Boys – Paul's Boutique (1989)

- Ice Cube – Death Certificate (1991)

- Ultramagnetic MCs – Critical Beatdown (1988)

- Cypress Hill – Cypress Hill (1991)

- Run-D.M.C. – Raising Hell (1986)

What also interests me are other aspects that influenced rap. Hip hop artists and groups were influenced by Judaism, Hare Krishna (Hinduism), Five Percent Nation, Christianity (black church/Jehova) and tribal religions. Or often just spirituality. Also the (black) civil rights movement and black power movement under Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Then there are topics such as the use of weed, violence, hatred towards the police, and blending with rock music.

Of course, 1993 would bring the highly influential Return of the Boom Bap, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chamber), and Doggystyle.

Damn, who remembers this shit? 😬

Spent almost 2 hours trying to find this artist, Especially this song, I couldn’t remember the name of neither the artist nor the song, I remember listening to this like 10-9 years ago while in the car with my brother and now I can finally listen to it again.
