Stunning CD.......2003-04-19

Essentially, an amazing lesson on who's who in hip-hop. Quality tracks by hip-hop pioneers and innovators, as well as a few pleasent surprises, make this an excellent buy. Solid grooves and tight basslines make the CD what it is. Classic old school cuts like Tone-Loc, NWA and House Of Pain are instantly recognizable, as is the remake of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way". Also featured prominently are early tracks of classic gangsta rappers. Snoop Dogg's "What's My Name" is probably my favorite song on the disc. It's an amazing party song with a killer groove. 2Pac's "California Love" is a rap classic, and it shines here. Dr. Dre's breakout single "Nuthin' But A G Thang" still remains a quality song, and is a perfect addition to the CD. Even better though are the more artistic cuts scattered throughout the disc. Arrested Development's soulful Tennessee was an excellent choice. Outkast's early Southern hit "Player's Ball" is probably one of my top favorites on the disc. But the real surprise was the Digable Planet track "Rebirth Of Slick". A cool beat combined with the lyrical strength of the trio lets the song speak for itself. The track is definitely one of the highlights. I would definitely recommend this CD. It is an amazing collection.
