Can you name some of the albums that came out that year? I was born in 84, so 88 seems like a distant memory. -
96 the best year in hip hop history period

The commercial was better than the album.

I can remember 1988 vividly. This was the song that packed the dance floor at school dances. Its not Hip Hop but it got played at every Hip Hop party.

I copied that photo from google, but the only album that wasn't a classic imo was King Tee's album and Run DMC's album. -
Yeah most of those 88 albums are not classic. All are important but not classic.
