Here at Brahsome, we’re products of the 80s, which means we lived right through the golden age of rap. Before it was all bling and bitches. Before MTV Cribs. Before L’il Jon. Back then it was Yo MTV Raps and Rap City. When most folks think back to these days, they hear Dre and Snoop and Public Enemy and Run DMC. And those folks are sickgnar, no doubt. But what about the other, maybe somewhat forgotten songs of the early 90s hip-hop scene? Here, in no particular order, are 11 of the best of the rest…
11. Pharcyde – Passin Me By
10. Geto Boyz – My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me
9. Black Sheep – The Choice Is Yours
8. Onyx – Slam
7. Lords of the Underground – Chief Rocka
6. Nice & Smooth – Sometimes I Rhyme Slow
5. Das Efx – They Want Efx
4. LL Cool J – Pink Cookies
3. Ice Cube – It Was a Good Day
2. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince – Summertime
1. A Tribe Called Quest – Scenario
