Best Hip Hop Anthems Ever


At the time this was the double CD of hip-hop tunes I'd been looking for. Nearly every track is a classic, from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and Sugarhill Gang early 80s experiments, through Public Enemy and NWA to then current stars Coolio and Warren G (although not the version of "Regulate" which features the Michael McDonald sample which Chris Morris used to play - whatever happened to that version?). There was even a new discovery for me, "I Got Five On It" by Luniz.

The only disappointment is sound quality. It's poorly mastered and the tunes seem to fade into each other.

This was almost a perfect compilation, but I'm afraid it has to go... that's how I'm livin'.

Ill Communication by The Beastie Boys


This CD doesn't belong to me... it belonged to Jim who left it in the office prior to departing for Thailand... no, that can't be right - I left the company several years before that. So I must've picked it up at some point to listen to.

A surprisingly good album, but I really don't play it at all. Another album I really just wanted to hear rather than own, so it's got to go.

Do it.

The Sounds of Science by Beastie Boys


This is good... it has all the hits... the ones which are always on the radio... and is thus redundant.

The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem


I meant to listen to The Marshall Mathers LP but I never got around to it.

I bought it secondhand from a colleague and never really found myself in the right mood.

Gone.
