Golden age hip hop:
Run-D.M.C.'s Raising Hell (1986), one of the most important releases from the golden age of hip hop.
The golden age of hip hop, derivative of old school hip hop, began with the popularity of Run-DMC's album Raising Hell in 1986 and ended with the popularity of G-Funk around 1993 [1].
It was characterized by ubiquitous soul, jazz and funk samples (à la James Brown and Curtis Mayfield) and Afrocentric lyrics [citation needed]. The golden age was based in New York City, and it was there that it gave rise to the careers of many of the most beloved rappers in hip-hop history.
The Juice Crew All-Stars, Rakim, KRS-ONE, and Chuck D are all thought to have played significant roles in advancing the artform of rap, upping the ante in terms of meaningful subject matter, witty wordplay, and effective verbal delivery.
Additionally, groups such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, and Leaders of the New School produced thoughtful recordings expressing conscientious understanding of the world around them, leading to the genre of conscious hip hop.

I remember listening to my uncles 8-tracks. I was hooked from then on.
