This edition is a lot better than the last one in terms of the track listing… Reezy Rez sez:
The 1995 Source System – The Best Albums Of The Year
This old November 1994 to October 1995 bullshit really makes this more difficult than it should be. GZA’s album might be on the border who cares at this stage. The Meth, Redman and Keith Murray albums were all enjoyable enough back then but I’d rather revisit these fifteen long players if I had the choice….

The Source Magazine – The Best Records of 1993

And thanks to their…

‘You wot, mate?!’ In the spirit of eighties Answer Rap, here’s my list of alternative’s to the Martinator’s 80’s Rap 101 list. I’ve stuck to his original list of artist’s (except for a few who only had one record…or one good record) and presented an alternative to each to demonstrate just how great the best…
