Forgotten is right - - - I was born in 1981, started listening to the radio around '94, '95, and don't recognize anything that's been posted to the thread yet. Are all of these indeed lost treasure? Should I listen?

There are some real gems in this thread, Doctor Casino. Although the extent to which you're likely to agree is roughly equivalent to your tolerance for synth stabs.

lots of Freddy-related hip-hop tracks back then, but no one seemed to be rapping abt Jason or Michael Myers.
