Best 100 boom bap releases

Boom bap is a style of hip-hop music characterized by hard-hitting drums, often made from samples of old funk and soul records, and prominent use of the snare and kick drum. The style originated in the early 1990s on the East Coast of the United States and became associated with artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and Mobb Deep. Boom bap often features gritty, sample-based production, and lyrically tends to focus on the harsh realities of urban life. The term "boom bap" itself is onomatopoeic, referring to the characteristic sound of the drum hits in the style.
