A greatest hits package with ""World Famous", "Watch Out Now", "No Escapin'", "Off The Books", "However Whenever", "We Got The Funk", "Reign Of The Tec", "Props Over Here", "Beatnuts', "Get Funky" and more.

We've always been a fan of the Beatnuts, or later Ghetto Professionals production, but none of their recordings as the Beatnuts are better than this first EP. Includes "Reign of the Tec" (with the Grand Puba sample), "No Equal", "World's Famous", "Psycho Dwarf." 6 full-length tracks plus 5 interludes.

Nice laid-back production from the Beatnuts on this personal reminiscence on the history of hip hop, name-checking a lot of the early old school pioneers. And who can argue with doing a dedication to Afrika Bambaataa.

The legendary first EP! We've always been a fan of the Beatnuts, or later Ghetto Professionals production, but none of their recordings as the Beatnuts are better than this first EP. Includes "Reign of the Tec" (with the Grand Puba sample), "No Equal", "World's Famous" and "Psycho Dwarf." 6 full-length tracks plus 5 interludes.

The hot sh*t: 2 cuts from the now classic Beatnuts debut EP "Intoxicated Demons".

Remixes and new versions of some of the Beatnuts hits, including "Get Funky", "Psycho Dwarf II" featuring Nogoodus, "Props Over Here", and "No Equal" – plus a new track, "Treat$", featuring Rawcotiks, A.L., and Nogoodus.

The first full-length Beatnuts album – pressed on 2LP for the first time ever! Street Level is designed to succeed on, well, street level – but it's actually pretty damn diverse in retrospect! One of those more-is-more 90s albums with lots of tracks and some stellar production. Includes "Props Over Here", "Psycho Dwarf", "Hellraiser", "Ya Don't Stop", "Are You Ready" featuring Grand Puba, "Hit Me With That", "2-3 Break", and 10 more.

3 versions of one of our favorite tracks from the Represent LP.

One of our favorites off the first LP, with a remix by the Beatnuts!

Produced by the Beatnuts.

Fat Joe's first LP – a very strong slice of east coast early 90s gangsta that's way stronger than the 14-year-olds who listened to Joe in the 00s will probably ever know. With quality production all the way through by The Beatnuts, Diamond D, Showbiz and Lord Finesse and scratches by Rob Swift and Rock Raider (Roc Raida). Features guest appearances by Grand Puba (that to our ears anyway, sound better than his solo stuff from that time), Diamond D, Kool G Rap, Apache, and King Sun. With the hits "The S**t Is Real", "Watch The Sound", "I'm A Hit That", "Flow Joe", "You Must Be Out of Your F***in' Mind" and eight more.

Nice one! Hard to get original pressing of this first full LP by the great Common from Chicago – back when he was still known as Common Sense. The record has the full "Common Sense" name on the inner and outer label, and it's one of the toughest originals you'll find from the early 90s. This one's a little more uptempo and overall less serious than "Ressurection", but still a few cuts that are as good as anything on that LP. Production by Twilight Tone, Immenslope, and the Beatnuts. With "Soul by the Pound", "Take It Eazy", "Breaker 1/9", "Two Scoops of Raisins", "Blows To The Temple" and eight more.

The debut from Mad Skillz, with production by The Beatnuts on "The Nod Factor" and Large Professor on "Skillz In 95".

Sharp storytelling and solid mid 90s hip hop from Al Tariq, a founding member of the Beatnuts – a somewhat slept on, wholy worthy set featuring production by No ID, VIC and The Beatnuts.

13 tracks (plus 5 interludes) on 2 LPs produced by DJ Honda with vocals by Mos Def, De La Soul, Black Attack, KRS, Beatnuts, Al Tarik, Problems, No ID, and Syndicate, with tighter production than his first US LP. The best cut here is "Travellin Man" by Mos Def. It has a sprawling, orchestrated track with Mos Def singing the chorus of Jerry Butler's melancholy "Memories Don't Leave Like People Do" – worth the price of the LP all by itself.
