1988 vs. 1994

Where were you when “Bring Da Rukus” came out?  How old were you? How about “The Gas Face”?  Were you even born yet? Let these mixes take you back to the days of real hip-hop. DJs ELmattic and Grandman team up with illcuts.com and Dotgotit.com to take you on an musical journey back in time. These two distinct years are arguably the best in the history of hip-hop. May the best era win.
