| 11. |  | Check Your Head
by Beastie Boys
Price: $8.97
Customer Review:
You probally wouldn't expect much from The Beastie Boys after releasing Paul's Boutique. After all, it pretty much was a king of sampling, and there's no real way to top that album, especially since sampling wasn't going too well after the album being released. So instead of panicking, The Beastie... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 12. |  | The Best Of SugarHill Gang: Rapper's Delight
by The Sugarhill Gang
Price: $10.99
Customer Review:
This is definitely a good CD. It's hits from the Sugarhill Gang, whom many musical historians have designated as the first rappers. Or maybe it's that "Rapper's Delight" has been thought of as the first rap song? Rapper's Delight kicks off this album, and it's very catchy, chock full of creative... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

by Beastie Boys
Price: $11.97
Customer Review:
This doesn't hold a candle to Check Your Head or Paul's Boutique. There are some decent tracks, but lyrically this was a huge slide for them. It just sounds forced and there is a lot of mediocre filler...
Buy one of those two albums first (CYH or PB), then get Ill Communication and Licensed to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

by EPMD
Price: $13.99
Customer Review:
You have heard most of the beats on it and it wasn't from listening to this cd. It seemed every time I heard a beat I could link it to some rapper in the 90's. People have named a few the only one I didn't see was Warren G. He used the strictly business beat on one of his songs on his second album.... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE MY FEELINGS FOR THE MOMENTS AKA RAY GOODMAN & BROWN WITH ONE OF THEIR HITS CALLED "LIFE & BREATH." THE WORDS "I LOVE THEM" IS NOT ENOUGH.

Yo! Bum Rush the Show-
Formerly a loose congregate of college-radio DJs and party promoters in the Long Island area, `Spectrum City' became Public Enemy when Def Jam exec Rick Rubin allegedly badgered Chuck D into accepting a record deal; Chuck insisted that Flav come along, and hip-hop... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 17. |  | As Nasty as They Wanna Be
by 2 Live Crew
Price: $16.98
Customer Review:
If you were alive in the 80s you remember these songs. Of course they're "offensive" and "graphic" but hilarious and memorable none the less. Hey, I'm a little white girl and I still love it. Classic. A must have for anyone's collection (as long as you're not some grouchy old guy). | 4.0 / 5.0

by The Beastie Boys
Price: $24.98
Customer Review:
Some of us kids have been making B-boy tapes since we knew how to hit the record button. We've always been on the seek for new stuff, and the perfect B-Boy mix. It's a never ending search, and on that note this Beasties Anthology is far from perfect. However, if the deed needed to be done (and... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

by Big Daddy Kane
Price: $6.97
Customer Review:
1988 was a pivotal year for me. I turned 20 that year, and it was also the year that I feel in love with Hip Hop, after hearing PE's 'Rebel without a Pause'. It was also the year that that this, BDK debut LP, was released onto a eager public. We had already been primed as to the lyrical prowess of... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I was blown away by the words of Gil Scott-Heron on Small Talk at 125th and Lenox and PIECES OF A MAN is no different.
Taking his soul stirring words and composing them against a fusion of jazz and funk music, Scott-Heron takes his poems and turns them into songs that will make you groove and... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
