    Its too bad I ? up the poll. I hit enter before I was finished so there's only 9 choices. The 10th choice would have been "Road to the Riches" - Kool G Rap

    I wore out every last one of these tapes and records. I chose Rakim but to be honest there is no wrong answer.

    Vapors - Biz Markie
    Geto Boys "Makin' Trouble" , NWA "S.O.C.", Too Short "Life Is Too Short", and Eazy-E "Eazy Duz It", was what I listening to in 1988, so......

    But, out of these - "Vapors".

    I was 15 years old in 1988, and I can remember BET used to have a show called "Video Vibrations" that came on from midnit-2. They played a smorgasbord of videos and I remember that night they dopped "it takes 2" that summer, that ? was crazy. It played all over the airwaves and I was down south in Mississippi that summer too.
