Uncle E's Hip-Hop Anthology: Vol. 7- Pass Tha Mic

Ok, so this might be a little confusing because I haven't posted any of Uncle E's Hip-Hop Anthology previously, and this is Volume 7.  But think of it like how Star Wars started with Volume 4 (Episode IV: A New Hope).  This particular mix is just fun to talk about, so we're starting here.

A few years back I started putting together mixes for my nephew that included some of my favorite tunes from Hip-Hop's "Golden Age" (generally considered the early-to-mid 90's, after "Old School" but before every record label had to have a Hip-Hop act and sort of ruined the spirit of the genre).  This became a larger task than I initially thought.  It grew from a couple mixes into a multi-disc anthology.  There are some well known classics, but there are a bunch of hidden gems that are hard to even find anymore.  With that said, here is the first installment of Uncle E's Hip-Hop Anthology:
