A great old school hip hop album at a great price. Some fantastic rhymes by some masters of hip hop, definitely a worthwhile purchase.

This album is absolutely superb! It has something to cater for everyone. The hugely recogniseable Zack De La Rocha shows off his masterful skills alongside the "edutainer", KRS-One. Other powerful MCs like Talib Kweli and Lord Have Mercy of Flipmode Squad fame show why they are featured on an album of this high standard. However, if you prefer the soulful side of things "Ohm" by Saul Williams is perfect for just lying back and relaxing.... After all, having an intro by De La Soul has got to be the signs of a wonderful album. If you don't have this already, BUY IT!!!

Despite the fact that record companies in America have failed to reap the rewards that a great compilation album can bring, Rawkus Records who are an independent hip hop label have managed to discover the benefits of a great compilation and this happened with the release of their first compilation "Lyricist Lounge Vol. 1" (although they have as yet to release a follow up). The album includes tracks by artists on their own roster and to complement them they invited some of the most respected artists in the game to provide contributions such as Q-Tip, De La Soul, Kool Keith, Blackstar, Common , Bahamadia and Black Thought. The fact that these MC's are among the most socially conscious provides for a great album and some of the best lyrics sung over the freshest New York underground beats. Overall it provides for one of the freshest hip hop albums of the late nineties.
