(3 out of 5 stars)

"When I first saw this CD in '96 and saw that it contained the underground and almost mythical song "ENTER THE DRAGON" (G Rap's best lyrical display on wax!) I knew I had to get it! I almost flipped when the classic Marley Marl played only twice on the radio in '87, was nothing but a watered-down, wack-ass version of the original classic. The same was the case with the previuosly unreleased tracks like "I AIN'T TRICKIN'" and "UNDER 21 NOT PERMITTED". None of these are the original, but some wack versions of some dope underground classics. The only original classics are "RHYME TIME" and "RIKERS ISLAND". The new tracks ain't even all that and the rest of the tracks you can find them on their previous releases. Nothing I would consider classic or a must have here. Don't get me wrong, though! Despite the mediocre beats, G Rap spits venom over each track, but the tracks are so wack, they can't compensate even with a lyrical genius like G Rap.
