USA Today has published its list of the Top 25 Music Moments of the last 25 years and Hip-Hop has made an impressive showing.

At #4 is NWA and their debut album "Straight Out Of Compton"

USA Today:

"Gangsta rap exploded in violent, explicit street stories, including widely banned F--- Tha Police, fueling hip-hop’s mainstream popularity and intensifying censorship debates and a culture war,” Edna Gunderson wrote.

Coming in at #15 is Eminem with his "Slim Shady LP".

“WithThe Slim Shady LP, rap’s most successful, skillful and controversial player burst forth, thrilling young fans while horrifying conservative sensibilities with outrageous and violent rapid-fire rhymes,” wrote the paper’s Edna Gunderson. “Denounced for misogyny and homophobia, he was also hailed as hip-hop’s clown prince and poet laureate.”

And at #12 was "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five.

“Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five’s landmark anthem, the first significant rap tune to focus on inner-city turmoil, established the budding hip-hop genre as a vital vehicle for both musical creativity and social commentary,” said Gunderson.
