Welcome DJ Babe to the Rapmullet review section. I don't think he's been here before but I could be mistaken. The thing is...you can't got wrong fucking with classics. This was a perfect CD on my mini road trip today. I'm suprised I still know 90% of the lyrics to all these songs. That shit made a hour drive feel like 15 minutes.

Just look at the first three tracks..."RAW", "I Ain't No Joke", and "The Bridge Is Over". Big Daddy Kane doesn't get the props he should lyrically. I think a lot of cats remember him for that punk smooth shit he got on later in his career but he will eat you alive on the MIC...then dance circles around you. Hahaha, those days are gone in Hip Hop...damn shame too. Listen to LL's "I'm Bad" again. LL is so fucking hungry it's rediculous. The slang might be dated but LL sounds like he's ready to catch bodies. If you don't "oh shit" when you hear the begining of "Uptown Anthem" then you're either very young or you just don't give a fuck like Plies. The joint that really really took it back is the Skinny Boys with "Jockbox". I might have heard this a couple times coming up but it's one of those rare jewels you like to see on these type of mixtapes. I like how Babe ended the joint with "The Roof Is On Fire" too...another joint these kiddies couldn't name if they didn't have google.

Mix wise DJ Babe was on point, he got his cutting off a lil something as well as some quality mixing...nice balance throughout the project. Mixtapes like these def help fill a void in the game right now, maybe get these younger generation mixtape consumers to appreciate Hip Hop music at its so called purest. Then again maybe not, but hey theres no new Lil Wayne out right now so they got to cop something. lol (9/17/07)
