5.0 out of 5 stars Classic hip hop from a classic DJ. Don't sleep!, September 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Presents Hip Hop Forever (Audio CD)

Kenny Dope laces us with some of the hottest hip hop tracks featuring masterful beat production and neck snappin' flavor. Three discs, the first mixed, the last 2, unmixed full length versions of the jams. Disc 2, drops EPMD's seminal classic YOU GOTS TO CHILL. Lazzy molasses beats and the E-R-I-C-K dropping science.

"Relax yo mind and let your conscience be free and get down to the sounds of EPMD!"

Redman peeps in on TONIGHTS DA NITE. "I'm after the gold, and after that the platinum . . ." Redman's oratory skills will have you going "Ba-Bum, Ba-Bum" with the beats! Other top tracks on this album: track 2, OFF THE BOOKS by The Beatnuts. Listen to the track that put Big Pun (Still not a Player) on the map; the early 1990's Harlem jeep rider anthem DWYCK by Gangster with a lil help from Nice & Smooth. Listen for Guru's super classic line, "I can take the money, NEVER have ta run!"

Be sure to look out for SHINING STAR by Sunz of Man, I GOT IT MADE by Special Ed, ILL STREET BLUES by the lispy rapper, Kool G Rap & his sidekick DJ Polo. Disc 1, the Kenny Dope mixed comp with the water torcher rap single, COME CLEAN featuring ruffneck rapper Jeru The Damaja.

Naughty By Nature hit us with the UPTOWN ANTHEM droppin' that 19-naughty-1 flavor.

Hip Hop, many will argue, is divided into BP (Before Puffy) and AP (After Puffy). If this is true, this album celebrates all the glory of hip hop, sacharin free. Bravo Kenny for a look back at the super tracks that laid the foundation of what hip hop is today.
