A meticulously selected and sequenced look at rap records from 1990, this disc eschews obvious hits in favor of classic underground jams--the tracks that still provoke cheers of recognition from the hardcore heads. Philosophical talk and groove tomfoolery still sounded compatible then, and the album leads off with Main Source and Poor Righteous Teachers sneaking radical politics into a hand-waving context. The Native Tongue posse, hugely influential at the time, puts in an appearance on the Jungle Brothers' "Doin' Our Own Dang"; even the final gritty Juice Crew hits before the era of the West Coast boom are crisp, intense performances. And Boogie Down Productions summarizes the year's concerns with the threatening celebration of "Love's Gonna Get 'Cha." --Douglas Wolk

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars This is early 90's rap..........2001-09-12

This is the best 90's hip-hop compilation out there and it has a good mix of slammin' tracks from the nicest MC's. I recommend you buying Part 2. and Part 3. after you buy this. PEACE!

4 out of 5 stars great selection of tracks.......2000-06-11

unlike many hip-hop compilation albums which focus on crossover hits (Ton Loc, DJ Jazzy Jeff, MC Hammer, etc.) this album brings together real ghetto classics from the Yo! MTV raps! era. Standouts are the Main Source track, Poor Righteous Teachers and of course Tribe Called Quests' Bonita Applebum.
