Four classic Hip Hop albums will be entering Harvard's archives, and 9th Wonder is directly responsible for it.
Five years ago, the former Little Brother member became a fellow of the Ivy League institution after screening his film The Wonder Years there.
As part of his responsibilities, 9th will be selecting the 196 rap albums that have had the most impact on the genre. It's for a project called These are the Breaks, after Kurtis Blow's 1980 tune "The Breaks."
Wonder just selected the first four, and they are:
A Tribe Called Quest's Low End Theory, Nas' Illmatic, Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly and Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
You can see a post about the project below.
