As promised last time here is the list that I put together while working on the "Reminiscing On Hip Hop" special. As usual, the disclaimer reads: "This listing is by no means meant to be viewed as a complete listing. This is just something to get you started and to use as a point or reference is this for some reason ever becomes useful information for you"...or something like that. Feel free to comment back with any additions, corrections, suggestions, and things of the sort.
