It's hard to believe that is amazing compilation is almost 10 years old! This is one of the finest collections of old school classics ever put out. It wasn't just amazing in that it featured classic hip-hop but it featured some amazing songs that not every hip-hop fan would be really familiar with. Even today, this compilation still can enlighten some seasoned hip-hop listeners on lost classics from years gone by. If you don't immediately recognize the artists listed below in the track listings, then you'll want this for sure. If are an old school fan, you will also want to make sure this compilation is in your collection purely because it gives that classic hip-hop sound without running through the usual suspects when it comes to classic hip-hop comps. A must-have and a truly legendary compilation. Enjoy!!!!| 1 | Divine Force | Holy War (Live) |

Actually I find it harder to believe it's "only" 10 years old, since it's got great 80's classics (as well as rare gems) on it ;-P
Ego Trip has consistently come through with high quality hip hop related media. They could've easily released a compilation with lesser known tracks by bigger named artists but instead went elbows deep into the crates and came up with this. I buy everything with the Ego Trip name anyhow so when this came out I grabbed it and proceeded to learn how little I actually knew about the music I had been jocking for years. Actually, everything they do sort of does that.
Their TV shows were funny and smart and most importantly, shed some light on how silly hip hop can be which is nice considering how it can be taken a bit too seriously by some heads. (Really....isn't it still about having fun?)
The books are fresh as well and of course the magazine was too good to last.
What if they did a follow up 90's compilation?
Two of my votes would be
Ten Thieves.."It Don't Matter"
Kurious feat. Sadat X and Mike G.."Mansion and a Yacht"
Geeeez...thanks alot for putting this up.
I dropped "Brooklyn Blew Up" last night in my set off of this comp. Definitely the best old school comp ever released. Keep em comin' Dom. J
