There is something about the 4th of July that makes me want to listen to Old School Hip Hop. I work constantly and hear so much music on a daily basis, so when the holiday comes around, all I want to do is relax and reminisce on the Hip Hop I grew up on. I orchestrated a list on Memorial Day that focused on ’90s Hip Hop Tracks For A BBQ, and it seemed to be a topic a lot of people enjoyed. While having a discussion with a friend (who is a Hip Hop connoisseur), he mentioned a few joints that would have been dope for the list.

After further discussion (and debating), we came up with a few of our favorites that we enjoy listening to, especially when we are relaxing and grilling. Shout out to Rob Schwartz of (WHO?MAG/iFame TV) for the in-depth discussion and knowledge over the years.

At the end of the day, that is what Hip Hop culture is about. Sharing knowledge, wisdom, memories and of course, your favorite songs and verses.
