This list provides a guide to the most important hip hop albums, as determined by their presence on compiled lists of significant albums: see the "Lists consulted" section for full details. Inclusion on a list is indicated by numbering after each release. The brief accompanying notes offer an explanation as to why each album has been considered important. The organization of the list is by date of release, ranging from Run-D.M.C.'s eponymous debut in 1984 to Jay-Z's 2001 album, ''The Blueprint''. Since for the period of 1979–1983, hip hop was a music for 12" singles rather than albums,〔David Toop, ''Rap Attack'', 3rd. ed., London: Serpent's Tail, 2000. (p. 213) ISBN 978-1-85242-627-9〕 the absence of old school hip hop from the list has been compensated for by providing it with its own section of notable releases. Notable compilations of songs which contain important hip hop breaks (short percussive interludes used as the rhythmic basis for a hip hop song) are also included. ==Breakbeats== The break, the instrumental portion of a record (of any genre, though perhaps most often funk or rock) that emphasizes the percussive pattern, has been the fundamental unit of much of hip hop music. The collections below collect the original songs that contain some of the most popular breaks in hip hop. *''Super Disco Brakes'' (Winley)〔Toop, p. 67〕 Vol. 1 was released in 1979, making it one of the first releases connected to hip hop culture, and almost certainly the first breakbeat record.〔Shapiro, p. 384〕 *''Ultimate Breaks and Beats'' Vols. 1–25 (Street Beat, 1985–1990) 5 This comprehensive and influential series began just as the sampler was taking a central role in hip hop music.〔Shapiro, p. 378〕 *''Kurtis Blow Presents The History of Rap Vol. 1'' (Rhino, 1997) 5 One of the few breakbeat collections not of dubious legality.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of hip hop albums considered to be influential」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
