Some good tracks (classic Public Enemy), some bad (does anyone want to hear "2 Legit to Quit" anymore?) make for a decent but uninspiring collection. Hip-hop dabblers will be better served with "Millennium Hip-Hop Party" or "Monster Rap".

*=one of my favorites

Im sure at this point, there's about 100 "old school" rap compilations out there, but as far as I can tell, this is one of the best. It's from the era after early 80's breakdance rap, and before the early 90's gangsta rap. When you got "Jump", "It's Tricky", and "It Takes Two" on one disc, you know it's good. Plus "Humpty Dance", "O.P.P.", and "Me Myself and I". This would be the bomb if it included "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss", "I got a Man", and "Bust a Move", but no. This also comes in a 2-cd set, but the best of that is all here. Another great collection is "Millennium Hip-Hop Party". It's just as dope.

Why buy a 2-disc compilation of hip-hop hits when the best ones are one a 1-disc set? This one-disc "streamlined" version has the best of the 2 disc set on it. The only song I relly don't care for is "Summertime"(I've heard it WAY TOO MANY TIMES). Great songs on this disc include "The Humpty Dance"(Digital Underground), "Push It"(Salt-N-Papa), and "Iesha"(Another Bad Creation). So skip the filler of the 2-disc set and purchase the best of the bunch. This is a must for any old-school hip-hop party. I absolutly adore it!:)
