5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of The Best, July 26, 2007

This is music at it's finest. The man (legendary NYC producer) is a genius. Other reviewers say "a must for any hip hop head", this is a must for any music lover. I hate contemporary hip-hop but this is more like old-school funk with a loopy edge. Gritty, raw and very real. All the rappers are tight (especially Shante and Big Daddy) and the music is prototype for DJ Shadow and all new underground hip hop and even Beasties although they were on the scene at the same time. Of course I have a soft spot for it 'cos this is what they were playing at all the joints like Milky Way and PayDay at the time in NYC but hey, this stuff stands way above any commercial radio music at the moment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contains all the old school classics, excellent compilation!, January 13, 2000

From Eric B & Rakim's stunning "Eric B Is President" to MC Shan's wonderful "The Bridge" to the stellar posse-cut "The Symphony". All of Marley Marl's best productions are on this compilation. Any hip-hop had should own this! Hear how great it sounded back in the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you are old skool it is a must, August 3, 1999
