I’m being extremely lazy tonight, but I want to get this up. Peep what wiki says about this album:
“2 Hype is the debut album by rap duo, Kid ‘n Play. The album was released in 1988 for Select Records and was produced by Hurby Luv Bug and The Invincibles. 2 Hype was a success for the duo, reaching #96 on the Billboard 200 and #9 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and being certified Platinum by the RIAA. Three singles found success on the Hot Rap Singles chart, “Rollin’ with Kid ‘n Play” (#2), “2 Hype” (#19) and “Gittin’ Funky” (#24). In 2008, “Rollin with Kid n Play” was ranked number 63 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.”
This is another album from the GREAT year of 1988. How many dope albums came out that year?

i gotta admit… i was wondering if anyone would ever think to dig this one out. Hurby was a funky mufuggah, good look on this one!
props on this set thomas..keep up the hard work yall do
I’m one who likes to connect the dots so here goes. Haven’t confirmed this but I think this should have been in the Kid n Play sample set as it was also used for “Last Night”. All confirmations or corrections are welcome.
NICE POST! ‘2 Hype’ was the first tape I ever bought. I was 8 years old and have very fond memories of it. I remember doing the Kid N Play kickstep with my best friend at the school talent show that year and all that. Thank you so much for this Thomas! PEACE
