One of my favorites of all time. It dropped when the culture was shifting to a more serious and militant sound like Public Enemy, BDP, Eric B & Rakim, etc.

Yessir! 88’ was truly a monumental year
Yup. Bruh, I use to sit with my loose leaf paper and write the lyrics down and then recite them over and over until I had them memorized

Either that or BDP "By All Means Necessary" is the best LP from the 80's man.
If you play them LP's back to back they both embody what Hip-Hop represents.
1988 was a heavy hitting year, at least 5/6 undeniable classics.

FACTS!!
That was literally what classic Hip Hop is supposed to feel like.
Everything about that era is what made us fall in love with this, as kids.

I did the same! HAHA!!
it's top 10 or top 15, easy. i listened to it last weekend actually, and was shocked at how gracefully the album has aged.
but nah. i think there are albums that are definitely better. there are also artists who took clear inspiration from ricky d (nas, ghostface, scarface, cube, to name a handful), but who also, imo, channeled that inspiration into albums that were more ambitious, and which hold more critical, cultural and commercial significance. in much the same way jay took inspiration from kane (or nas from g rap), but took that foundation waaaaaaay further.
