Cut at the Hit Factory for their final album together, Eric B.'s jazz loops under Rakim's most unhurried flow.
Bernard Herrmann's Psycho strings on loop, DJ Scratch behind the boards, and Busta rhyming at impossible speed.
A Meters loop under Treach's easiest flow, pulled from the first album ever to win the rap Grammy.

A free EP download from 2011, Goransson on the beat, and Glover rapping like he had something to prove.

Queen and Bowie went uncredited until a settlement, and hip hop had its first Hot 100 number one.
