    I'm surprised RunDMC's Raising Hell didn't make your top 5. My top 5 are:
    1. P.E. Takes Millions
    2. RunDMC: Tougher Than Leather
    3. Fat Boys: Crushin
    4. Whodini: Back in Black
    5. Salt N Pepa: A Salt With a Deadly Pepa

    Educate them about Live Convention 81 and 82 . That album so cold , its probably one of the most cut , referenced , and sampled projects of all time .

    I no longer listen to hip hop because it’s TRASH but man this brought back some good memories! My only issue is that you didnt put Run-DMC’s self titled debut on the list. That album was groundbreaking and it revitalized what seemed like a dying genre.

    Great video. Cool thing about that era of hip hop was is involvement in the New York hardcore scene. A band name Side by Side use the shadow of LL Cool J from radio as there front cover for their e.p. Also Beastie Boys were originally a New York Hardcore band in the early 80’s
