fourteen years pass...

Anyway ... what's the best hip-hop related Xmas present you could buy a 16 year old, around the £20 price?

He's just been to New York and went on a "hip-hop tour" if that narrows it down a little?

(My inclination is to buy a stash of Public Enemy CDs ... but I am old).

Thanks all - this is a good start.

Not sure how to read "16 is the best age for Public Enemy albums"!

book of rap lists>>>

I gave my brother that one, and the Wu-Tang manual, but I think I'd go with the Sherrano book, it's p engaging

either that or some Wu wear

― niels, Thursday, 8 November 2018 12:28 (seven years ago)

Book Of Rap Lists is the best music book ever, but it's for giant fucking nerds who lived through the 90s, not someone who was born three years after they ended and does not know any of that music
