1990-2000 One Decade of Hip Hop (by The Rub)

The Rub has been doing the world an undeniably necessary public service in recording their The History of Hip-Hop series of weekly mixtapes. They're unsurprisingly excellent: impeccable selection, flawless mixing.

My favorite thing about these mixes is the fact that hearing hip-hop's finest grouped not by region or style but by year means that every record is uniquely contextualized. They all fit together in a way that I'd forgotten from my ever-advancing vantage point. They are of a piece, just like they were when you lived through them
