1996 was such an incredible year for Hip Hop releases. I would have loved to of been older at the time and able to appreciate all that music at the time of release. I was only 6 years old then and probably didnt listen to any of these albums until I got into highschool and learned to download full albums. Some of them i didnt listen to until even later than that.
