RECORDED IN ONE SESSION. CHANGED HIP-HOP FOREVER

One song was written specifically to fire back at a jazz musician who'd called hip-hop sampling the same thing as stealing pages out of a novel.

This is the real, fact-checked story of the single year most historians call the greatest twelve months hip-hop ever had. Every song mentioned is real and still on YouTube — go pull them up.
