Om Records, 2008. New Copy (pic cover)
J Boogie's Dubtronic Science gets some assistence from Lunar Heights on the rhymes and Afrodisiac Sound System remix on Inferno -- a nicely grooving track that deftly blends spacey club grooves with underground hip hop. The ASS mix brings in a funky 70s dancefloor funk feel. Que Pasa features ...

Jam Packed, 1986. Sealed (pic cover)
You could call this electro, but truth is, it's classic early Freestyle, but with a nice midtempo feel rather than the high energy vibe that would later become a cliché of the style. ...

Mafia Don (radio, inst, album)/Came 2 Do (album, inst)
Copter, 2005. Very Good+ (pic cover)
"Mafia Don" features Last Emperor. "Came 2 Do" features Wordsworth. ...

Jive, 1999. Very Good+
B-side by E-40 and B-Legit, with Pimp C and Bun B of UGK. Both tracks taken from "The Corruptor" soundtrack. ...

JWP, Early 80s. Very Good (pic cover)
As referenced by Biggie, though we're not certain if that allows this one to qualify for a place in the history books, but definitely one of the better rap parody records -- one we still laugh at after all these years. Not much of a pic sleeve, more like a printed generic sleeve. ...
cover art  
Reality, 1985. Very Good
What can we say? The classic single from Doug E Fresh that introduced the world to Slick Rick and has been sampled and quoted more times than we can count! ...

WEA, 1999. Very Good
...

Bay City, 1981. Near Mint-
One of our favorite tracks from the early 80s on Sugar Hill, with a sort of beeping, bouncing good time boogie track and back and forth rhymes from the Crash Crew over top. ...

Cold Chillin, 1988. Very Good (pic cover)
...
cover art  
Def Jam, 1999. Near Mint-
Remix of the club favorite, this time featuring Beanie Seigal, Memphis Bleek and DMX, guaranteed to fill the dancefloor. A bit more on the commercial tip, but to our ears, this one features the best of the Ruff Ryders/Swizz sound, and the lyrics are straight -- they never take themselves too ...
cover art  
Geffen, 1996. Very Good
Two of our favorites off the "Illadelph Halflife" LP. "Sections" features a smooth organ line throughout. "Clones" uses a spare piano loop and harder rhyme styles, off set by the very brief, very mellow break. ...

Jive, 1998. Very Good+ (pic cover)
...
cover art  
Loud, 1995. Very Good (pic cover)
Mobb Deep's tale of the cops turning up the heat. The remix includes the same vocals but, to us, the production moves the already dope LP version up to classic status. ...
cover art  
Reprise, 1993. Near Mint- (pic cover)
Produced by Marley Marl, with him, Sha-B and the Lords Of The Underground on the b-side. ...

Stress/BMG, 1996. Very Good

Sugarscoop/Unidisc, Early 80s. New Copy
"Boogie Down Bronx" is the early electro classic that Newcleus copied the bassline, drums and vocoder sound from on "Jam On It", and it's one of the first hip hop tracks about The Bronx. ...
cover art  
Relativity, 1992. Very Good (reissue)
Off the first album, with a very different rhyme style than he's come to be known for. ...
cover art  
Friends Connnection, 1994. Very Good
Beats by DJ Fashion and Professor Q. Rhymes by Fat Joe, Dion Broad, Grand Puba, RMR and Chill Will. ...
cover art  
Wreck, 1994. Very Good- (reissue)
Sometimes we forget just how dope the production on these early Black Moon singles is. "I Got Cha Opin" is the second hit from the first LP. On "Reality", even with its hardcore lyrics, the Beatminers still make amazing use of Roy Ayers' mellow "We Live In Brooklyn". ...
cover art  
Relativity, 1995. Very Good
Two tracks from Fat Joe before his "Don Cartegena" era, plus a remix from DJ Premier. ...
cover art  
Sire, 1989. Very Good- (pic cover)
With the infamous Glen Friedman cover photo of Ice-T's (then?) wife posing in a bikini holding a shotgun. ...
cover art  
Cold Chillin, 1988. Very Good-
"Vapors" is, of course, the mellow Biz classic off his first full-length LP, and probably the best use of the "Papa Don't Take No Mess" sample. ...
cover art  
Uptown/MCA, 1989. Very Good- (pic cover)
...
cover art  
Tommy Boy, 1992. Very Good-
Apache's best track by far. A funny update of Bonnie & Clyde with the theme of male/female gangster equality! Produced by A Tribe Called Quest. ...

RCA, 1989. Very Good (pic cover)
Co-produced by Paul C. ...

cover art  
First Priority, 1988. Good+
Pos K and Lyte trade lines on "I'm Not Havin It", by far the dopest-ever hip hop duet (except maybe the old Masterdon Committe cut). With the "Yes We Can-Can" bassline. "A Good Combination" continues the theme, with a super gritty beat produced by Audio Two. ...

East West/Atlantic, 1993. Very Good+

Grand Royal, 1999. Very Good
As far as the hip hop side of the their sound, our favorite collection of Beasties tracks in while. The music on most of the versions here is completely redone, giving the song a more definite hip hop sound. Standouts are the Kut Masta Kurt mix of Body Movin' and the Colleone/Web mix of "Inte ...

Dangerous, 1988. Very Good (pic cover)
The full 10-minute, 12-inch only, follow up to Too Short's "Freaky Tales". If you own only one Too Short single, this is the one. ...

Jive, 1990. Very Good- (pic cover)
Includes the 6:43 extended version of KRS's tale of material love. ...

Capitol, 1989. Very Good+ (pic cover)

MCA, 1992. Very Good- (pic cover)
For some reason they released this 12" without the LP version, but it has two remixes and the acapella. ...

Stones Throw, 2000. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)
Loopy, left coast genius from Madlib -- an early 12" as Quasimoto! "Come On Feet" is as straight up fun as any track ever on Stones Throw -- with the cartoony funk backdrop and mad blunted vocal that helped usher in the longstanding reign of Stones Throw as the finest purveyers of ...
cover art  
Stones Throw, 2004. New Copy (pic cover)
A few more slices of sci fi weird hop from MC Doom, and mad, mad, Madlib! "Illist Villains" is the villain manifesto showcase for Madlib, burying deep, creepy organ and synth washes into a bunch of layered sci fi flick sound bites and beats. Doom does his thing on "Curls", ...

Fabulous 3 MCs

Rub A Dub Dub (voc, inst)
Tap/Numero, 1981. New Copy
Uber obscure old school from the Fabulous 3 MCs -- intended for the Bronx-based Tap label in 1981 and only now seeing official release -- thanks to the deep, deep digging Numero Group! We're admittedly stumped on the Fabulous 3's history, and even the individual names of the rappers -- but we can ...
