anyone wanting to get a hip hop album out there should check this one out. the tracks are all great (apart from Nelly's Country Grammar -pure hip hop anyone?) a real hip hop head should already have most of these joints, which are a good mix of new and old skools (tribe and de la still shine) but there is a heavy bias to last 5 years. i would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants all these songs on one collection, or to anyone wanting to get into hip hop and don't know where to start. this misses out on the 5 stars because ain't nothing that's perfect and it does miss out some big tracks( wu tang clan - triumph?)

Man, the number of decent beats that are on this album are flawless. From new school artists to the old school KRS1, dre and snoop. All these heavy tracks...a must buy for all hip hop fans everywhere.
