All this week on my 1Xtra show, I’ve been breaking down some masterpiece HipHop albums on fast forward with my Minipieces feature (the name will change for the future, don’t watch that!).

We tackled a decade a day with one album representing each of the last 3 decades and of course a litle nod to a current album aka a future classic.

80′s – De La Soul – 3 Feet High & Rising

90′s – Nas – Illmatic

00′s – Kanye West – The College Dropout

08/09 – Lil Wayne – The Carter 3
