With sites like Amazon.com, new hip hop fans can get a fair idea of what was good in mid-90's hip hop by just clicking on a link or two. Or they can come to boards like this and have people TELL THEM what to like. With all these "classic" albums being handed to them, they completely leave out the wackness of the mid-90's (and before that), which results in a false notion of early hip hop being soooo much better than what's out today.
