This is far from a comprehensive list, but it’s just enough for a fun night gathered around my new-used vintage audio set-up with some Fireball hot chocolate. These songs pretty much span from early ’80s onward, so this playlist actually is a good indicator of the sonic and stylistic changes in hip-hop over the years. Merry Christmas!!!
