| When examining the over-the-top gangsta posturing of mainstream hip-hop in the past 15 years, it's easy to see why some cats neglect to pay homage to one of the golden age's finest. This album single-handedly popularized hip-hop in all aspects of mainstream music, as it was the first #1 album in hip-hop history. Rick Rubin's uncanny mix of old school party beats over highly memorable rock samples is one of the most copied formulas in hip-hop history. It stands as some of Rubin's most memorable and ...

| She has a great voice & I enjoyed this CD. There were only a couple of songs that I thought were "overdone," but I recommend this CD for those who enjoy the standards and Dana's talented vocals and delivery. |

| This CD I believe is filled with LL Cool J bests! From his beginning to more recent (but not too recent) stuff he's a very talented individual. The coolness of "Going back to Cali" to "Hey Lover" this cd has not only a few of my favorites but almost all of my favorites. I'd say this is definately a must have in your collection. |

| There is much debate about who is the greatest rapper of all time. Honestly, I think it's whoever you feel it to be. No one can convince you who you think is best..can they? That being said, there is no debate about who the greatest hip hop storyteller is. As Slick Rick would echo, "there is no competition". Slick Rick's approach to rap was unique for a number of reasons. For starters, he didn't sound like anyone else we had ever heard. Originally from England, he later moved to the Bronx and eventually started ... Read More: |

| Respect to the Beasties for the courage to grow up. That said, however, this, their second album, was their creative zenith, at least as a straight hip hop crew. I'm obssessed with the song "high plains drifter" and am going to, at some point in my life, try everything mentioned in the song. I've already spent a night at the motel 6..... |

| Great old school mixes from the early 80's breakdance scene that at one time was hard to find. It's a greatest hits of sorts of every good breakbeat that was ever used by any and all hip hop artists from the 80's until the present day. |

| This is definitely a good CD. It's hits from the Sugarhill Gang, whom many musical historians have designated as the first rappers. Or maybe it's that "Rapper's Delight" has been thought of as the first rap song? Rapper's Delight kicks off this album, and it's very catchy, chock full of creative lyrics [unlike today's swear-filled rap records] that make for a funny song. The full version, which is here, is very long. The rest of the disc shows itself very much a product of the times in which the songs were written, the early ... Read More: |

| This is diffentely the CD that you want. Talkin about a blast from the past. Eric B and Rakim is a must have for any old school collectors.
They put the "R" back in RAP. Get it now while you can because you may never have the opportunity to get it again, so get it while it's H.O.T. Joi from Philly |

| You probally wouldn't expect much from The Beastie Boys after releasing Paul's Boutique. After all, it pretty much was a king of sampling, and there's no real way to top that album, especially since sampling wasn't going too well after the album being released. So instead of panicking, The Beastie Boys decided to employ their own beats more, and add some of their early rock influence, and live funk courtesy of keyboards.
It works, extremely well. Whether Mike D (that's my guess, since he usually played drums) or a sample was ... Read More: |
