Lesser Known Hip-hop Masterpieces
1Blahzay Blahzay
Blah Blah Blah

An excellent forgotten east-coast duo with great beats and a hard flow on their one and only record.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiyaOYuijwM
2Fu-Schnickens
F.U. Don't Take It Personal

Super quick and choppy rhymes with killer delivery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGGTvpc584E
3Spice 1
AmeriKKKa's Nightmare

Hard, mean west-coast hip-hop.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuEMSvhcGwA
4Original Flavor
Beyond Flavor

One of the most slept on hip-hop groups of the early 90's featuring a very young Jay-Z on a few tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kcCcyPi-2A
5Miilkbone
Da Miilkcrate

One of the first truly talented white MC's from Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td8WqOrf3mg
6Das EFX
Dead Serious

This is probably one of the better known albums on this list, but it still deserves much more attention.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ce5tzzW_oQ
7Jungle Brothers
Done By The Forces Of Nature

Drum and bass hip-hop that is semi-reminiscent of ATCQ at times.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B7rjB2IWHs
8MC Shan
Down By Law

The record that started the "Bridge Wars" that KRS-One definitively ended with "The Bridge is Over". It's definitely not the
most technically impressive or lyrically acrobatic hip-hop record, but it's a cool piece of history.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcFVXUKG9ZU
9Lord Finesse
Funky Technician

One of the founding members of D.I.T.C. and another great 90's DJ/MC combo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZYeXNwd5qM
10D.I.T.C.
D.I.T.C.

Speaking of D.I.T.C. - where's the love here? One of the coolest collaborative hip-hop efforts ever with Big L, O.C.,
Showbiz & A.G., Fat Joe and more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RBH3Xyg_sA
11YZ
The Ghetto's Been Good To Me

Another super unknown, under-appreciated record from New Jersey in the early 90's.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nY0TKiD5BI
12Pudgee Tha Fat Bastard
Give Em The Finger

Banging beats and energetic delivery from a really capable unknown MC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ou0NTtiDQE
13Da Lench Mob
Guerillas in tha Mist

West-coast group produced by Ice Cube, with a strong lyrical delivery from Jay-Dee reminiscent of Chuck D.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAkT7bgKKwU
14Lords of the Underground
Here Come the Lords

A solid hip-hop trio from New Jersey that only stuck together for a few records.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFQXtAE7SiU
15Paris
The Devil Made Me Do It

Probably one of the most influential and controversial political MC's that may have had an influence on the likes of
the more popular and well known artists like Dead Prez and Immortal Technique.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKRAFPHD8W4
16Mystikal
Mind of Mystikal

One of the only MC's to rival Busta Rhymes in terms of sheer lunacy and speed both at the time, Mystikal was an
oddity in the hip-hop world with a larger than life personality.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToY_EBhiQJo
17King Just
Mystics of the God

Strange deliveries, odd beats and affiliated with the Wu-Tang Clan - do you really need more information to get
interested?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTvrXpIlcUg
18DJ Quik
Quik Is The Name

If it wasn't glaringly obvious enough by his moniker, DJ Quik is well, quick. A super talented young MC from
Compton in the early 90's who saw some moderate success from this debut record.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDba6HBbmqE
19MC Serch
Return of the Product

One of the earliest and arguably one of the best white MC's of all time, MC Serch saw much of his fame from 3rd
Bass despite this killer record with one of the best hip-hop tracks ever in "Back To The Grill Again" featuring a
young Nas.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzf0FU41qzc
20The Goats
Tricks of the Shade

A great group from Philadelphia that remained in obscurity for the most pair in a sea of other talented groups at the
time. However, this record definitely has a unique flavor to it worth checking out.
