This was a weird decade for me. I graduated high school in 2001. So I spent the next 10 years basically trying to soak up the 10 years before I graduated and what came out new at the same time. I wouldn't start DJing until around 2007. I'm glad I waited and got my ears all the way right. I'm going to include only my heaviest of rotation hip hop for that decade. Expect for the Tech N9ne (was never pressed) and Kanye (Won't spend a dime to support this nigga EVER AGAIN).....I have every one of these records on vinyl.
