| | Old School Hip-Hop Jams CD
Though it's a budget compilation, the two-disc Old School Hip-Hop Jams is actually a pretty good collection of tracks from some of the more popular rap acts of the late '80s and early '90s. There are a few unnecessary remix versions included (Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self," Black Sheep's "The Choice Is Yours"), along with a typo (it's "Just to Get a Rep") and the requisite budget "huh?" cut (Michie Mee & L.A. Luv's "Jamaican Funk: Canadian Style"), but there are also a lot of really great selections, among them Main Source's "Live at the Barbeque," Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid in Full," Naughty by Nature's "O.P.P.," and Jeru the Damaja's "Come Clean." Yeah, LL Cool J, KRS-One, Public Enemy, and Tribe are all excluded (though Q-Tip is featured on De La Soul's "Buddy"), but it's still pretty representative of hip-hop's golden age, and a pretty decent way to be exposed to what was happening during that time. ~ Marisa Brown Old School Hip-Hop Jams Music Old School Hip-Hop Jams Songs | | Old School Hip-Hop Jams CD DISC 1: |

Recorded at Chung King House Of Metal, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Nelson George.
Released in 1985, RADIO marks the debut of hip-hop icon LL Cool J. Only in his late teens at the time, the strikingly handsome LL (born James Todd Smith) unleashed 11 supremely confident rhymes with a powerful, fearsome delivery that marked him as a rap icon from day one. LL kicks off the album by sending out an ode, not to a lady, but to his boombox ("I Can't Live Without My Radio"), and never lets up from there, allowing ...

Old School Hip-Hop Jams
$9.35
"quiet and pulsing, mara’s torment lays out soundscapes perfect for a dream. nearly minimal in nature, these dreamscapes tinkle with subtle brilliance much stars in the night sky. when you lie down on the ground at night, out in the country and away from city lights and sounds, you can see an infinite number of stars if the night is clear enough. there’s something about lying there like that, feeling so small and alone in the vast darkness above. but there remains a sense of wonder, of how big it all is. put on some headphones, close your eyes, and listen to the barrier of skin, it will inspire those same sensations."- Laura B./Sublevel 203"pleasing soundscapes aren't absent from this release. They just find themselves tucked in between songs with a fuller structure, which really stand out as the highlights of the album. Songs like "The Last Veil" have a dreamlike atmosphere, with no rhythm or melody restricting them. Flowing, symphonic/electronic sounds trickle through the air, hypnotically embracing the listener." - Scott Mallonee/ Revolt "the latest release from Toronto’s Rik MacLean is a decided move out of the chilled blackness of Across For Show into warmer, enveloping realms of sound. The Barrier Of Skin is almost sensual in it’s textures; from the unfolding delicacy ...
