A Tribe Called Quest & Wu-Tang Clan Albums Archived In Library Of Congress

Every year, the Library Of Congress selects a few recording to be archived in the National Recording Registry. Those recordings are chosen because they “are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.” Over the years, the Library Of Congress has archived a few classic rap albums, including De La Soul’s 3 Feet High And Rising, Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton, Run-DMC’s Raising Hell, Jay-Z’s The Blueprint, Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, and Nas’ Illmatic. Today, the Library Of Congress has announced that it’s added two more rap masterpieces to its archive.
