Hip-Hop Hooray: A wrap-up of the highs and lows of 1996
It's been one crazy year for the hip-hop community. In 1996 Bugs Bunny began his basketball / rapping career (check out the "Space Jam" movie and soundtrack).

Rap-A-Lot Records turned 10, Chuck D (of Public Enemy fame) started his own label (Slam Jamz) and Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight changed the company's name to "The New and Untouchable Death Row Records." I wonder how long it took him to come up with that moniker.
