1992 was a pinnacle year for Hip-Hop. While we were getting D.I.T.C. classics like Diamond D's "Stunts, Blunts, & Hip-Hop" and Showbiz & A.G.'s "Runaway Slave" we also saw Hip-Hop start to make its move to the mainstream with song's like Kriss Kross' "Jump", Wrecks-n-Effects "Rump Shaker" and House of Pain's "Jump Around". 1992 was also the year Funkmaster Flex took over Hot97 in NYC which at the time was a commercial dance radio station. Who would have thought that a dude from the BX who only got about 2 hours a night on the weekends and would fill them hours with Brand Nubian's "Punks Jump up to Get Beat Down", Double XX Posse's "Not Gonna be Able to Do it", and cutting up doubles of "The Champ" would be the face of everything wrong in Hip-Hop today (insert Bomb Dropping here)...enjoy!
