Old Skool Hip-HopMy constant references to and overt admiration of the Folk genre could possibly lead to the assumption that I listen to nothing but, the folk. Not true. It's just, the folk calls to me now. Folk aside, there is a genre that I make almost no reference to whatsoever, hip-hop. I'm a fan of hip-hop, I'm not that well versed in hip-hop, but then again I'm not particularly well versed in any genre of music, I just know what I like. So, for a change, I thought I'd aggregate some of my favourite hip-hop songs. Spotify here.
