MY FAVORITE TOP 25 HIP-HOP ALBUMS

Wassup readers.
Those who listen to DA DOO DIRTY SHOW knows me as the music specialist who loves the sound of Motown.
That's very true. I do love the sounds of Motown and classic soul, but I do love some Hip Hop music (DA Professor loves Hip-Hop?) Yes, I love some Hip-Hop artists (I remember my mother buying The Sugar Hill Gang's 1979 classic "Rapper's Delight" which became a classic, and though I love listening to the sounds of The Supremes, The Temptations, The 4 Tops, I like to listen to some Hip Hop from time to time.
