PODCAST: 9 good albums...

I saw this posted on Instagram the other day by Questlove from The Roots. It's simple...you have to pick #NineGoodAlbums that "built" me. The albums must be dope and flawless. Instead of posting a picture on IG, I decided to make it a podcast. Simple, right? Not really...as this was difficult. Here are my 9 Good Albums. Listen to the podcast and tell me yours...

• Songs In The Key of Life - Stevie Wonder
• Purple Rain - Prince & the Revolution
• Illmatic - NaS
• Paid In Full - Eric B & Rakim
• Midnight Marauders - A Tribe Called Quest
• My Life - Mary J Blige
• Illadelph halflife - The Roots
• It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy
• Raising Hell - Run DMC

who's the BEST hip hop group ever???

Group- any collection or assemblage of persons or things

That is the definition of a group...according to the dictionary.

As we celebrate hip hop week, I am reminded that we've seen our share of great groups. I have always had a great deal of respect for hip hop duos/groups. They have helped mold and shape the hip hop culture. You gotta respect them even more. I imagine that it's hard to stand out as an MC when you're in a group. Sometimes your skills can be overlooked when you're in a group.

Over the years, we've seen some great groups...

THE ROOTS

SALT N PEPA

RUN DMC

EPMD

NWA

OUTKAST

WU TANG CLAN

DE LA SOUL

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

Just to name a few!

But if I had to pick ONE group as the best of all time...I'd say...

PUBLIC ENEMY

And that's hard to say because the groups that I just mentioned are great groups. But when I measure their impact on the culture, lyrics, and album content. I gotta say PE.

What about you?

Who is the best hip hop group of all time?
