"Excellent bass! It will rock your car or house! Only disappointment: CD is missing 2 songs, "Egypt, Egypt and Heart Beat Rap". It could have been 5-stars!"
All are excellent cuts

"....this is a great collection of original rap classix. UTFO, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill. Get it for the hard, hard to find rarities "Jam on It" by Newcleus (wikki, wikki, wikki) and "Funk You Up" by girl rappers Sequence--which may or may not have current hit maker Angie Stone...? Is that the same one? Anyway, get it and remember 'ho-tel, mo-tel--hall-i-day inn...'"
