How to play the hip-hop debut albums timeline
Each card names a hip-hop act, with the title of its first album printed underneath, and you order the acts by the year that debut came out. One act starts on the timeline with its debut year showing. You place each new card in a gap before, between or after the acts already down. Right first time, and the year appears; a wrong one moves the act to its real spot and costs one of your three lives.
The deck spans the early crossover days, the golden age, the coastal rivalry years, the Southern rise and the newer stars of the blog era. The album title under each name is a strong clue if you know it, since it tells you exactly which record counts. Be careful with rappers who took a while to break through: for a few of them, the true debut is an early record that hardly anyone heard.
Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
