Radio LBB: Golden Era Hip-Hop

Spring has almost sprung, the days are getting a little longer and the prospect of standing outside Soho pub the Coach and Horses, and admiring the scenery without your thermals on is becoming tantalisingly close. What better reason is there to put together 25 bona fide 'golden era' hip-hop classics to help put a little dip in your hip and some glide in your stride?

Hip-hop’s 'golden age' is a name given to a period in the genre, during the mid '80s to the mid '90s when a number of artists were thought to be at their creative peak with almost weekly legendary albums and songs being released. The music was characterised by its diversity, quality, innovation and influence.

Enjoy - and remember: 'there ain't no school like the old school'.
