The first release by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, and as dope as the classic first LP. Different versions of songs that appeared on the first LP, plus some tracks that were never on another LP or 12". 12-inch, Vinyl record
The shorter version clocks in at 3:55 and features Redman & Method Man, while the full version adds another minute, plus verses added by Lady Luck & Shabaam Sahdeeq. 12-inch, Vinyl record
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. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(Promo in a plain sleeve. Labels have a name in marker.)
Killer proto-freestyle electro with all the great bits you love – robot vocals, vocoder chorus, chunky 808 hits, and tons of lazers! 12-inch, Vinyl record
Ra's solo joint from the interim between the breakup with Eric B and The 18th letter, proving he still had the gift. The production sounds an awful lot like those on Don't Sweat The Technique, which isn't necessarily the worst thing. 12-inch, Vinyl record
A great cut by the Roots – and the first single from the Tipping Point album! "Don't Say Nuthin'" is one of the most head-nodding, electro keyboard funky numbers we've ever heard from the group – and another curveball from the legendary Philly crew that still seems capable of ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Rhyming about back packs? It's gotta be the early 90's. Nice, overlooked tracks that sound a little bit like Brand Nubians/Grand Puba from that time, with just a hint of ragga. Maybe not the most original sound, but if you're gonna sound like someone, Puba's not a bad choice. 12-inch, Vinyl record
Om'Mas, Taz and Shafiq drop their debut single for the venerable Ubiquity – a deep, heavy blend of spacey soul, electro and hip hop! "Double Dutch (Co Co Pops)" has a great, really heavy space synth groove – the kind dense, pulsing keys, hand claps, and finger snap beats that ...

Featuring all the good cuts from Scarface's 2000 album. Tracks include "Get Out (LP version)" featuring Jay Z, "And Yo (LP version)" featuring Redman, "In & Out (LP version)" featuring Devin The Dude & Too Short, "Watch Ya Step (LP Version)", plus ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Three female singers/MC's with backing by the Sugarhill Gang Band – and rhymes that sound like they might have been written by the Sugarhill Gang. Maybe it's not up to the standards of other early female MC's like Sha Rock of the Funky 4 +1, but this is more like a 1979-era slow-tempo ... (Soul, Hip Hop)read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Old school track from Sugar Hill's female trio that does not feature the classic Sugar Hill rhythm section, but instead uses a more synthetic sound, along the lines of maybe the Dazz Band. (Soul, Hip Hop)12-inch, Vinyl record
If you're not familiar with them, Son of Bazerk was a side project of the Bomb Squad during the Public Enemy days. On "Bang", like their other singles, they combine a dozen styles, everything from raggae chatting to party chants over the Bomb Squad's wall-of-sound. "The Band Get's ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
Includes vocal and instrumental mixes of "Comin' To Your City", "Bentley's & Money Counters", "Chrome On Them Toy'z", and "Shake It Like That". 12-inch, Vinyl record
A lively little groover from the Sugarhill Gang – one based around the excellent "Daisy Lady" sample from 7th Wonder! The track makes great use of the original's brassy horns – inflecting a bright, almost Latiny finish on the tune – all to set the stage for some great ... read more12-inch, Vinyl record
One of the great Super Lover Cee & Casanova singles they recorded with Paul C, recorded not long after the classic "Super Casanova" single. Their tribute to the hardest working man in show business, using loads of JB samples, about a new dance called the "James Brown." 12-inch, Vinyl record
Two nice ones – "This Beat Kicks" features classic Mantronix production and "Scratch Monopoly" has T La Rock rhyming with DJ Louie Lou cutting it up underneath. 12-inch, Vinyl record
An amazing bit of crossover – this sub-Talking Heads band hits a classic hip hop groove with "Genius Of Love", a real Sugarhill favorite! (Soul, Hip Hop)12-inch, Vinyl record
(Cover has large letters in marker on both sides. Labels have a name in pen.)
The music on this one is maybe not as timeless as their Enjoy singles like "Heartbeat"and "Body Rock" – but the rhymes from Kool Moe Dee, Special K and LA Sunshine are still up there with the best of the early old school classics. 12-inch, Vinyl record
(In a Sugar Hill sleeve with a large name in marker. Labels have some pen.)
