Classic Trax Roundup


We’ve spent so much time screwing around with dumb shit lately that we’ve forgotten to post classic tracks, and that’s one of the main reasons we exist: to school you wide eyed parrots about what’s really good. So today we’re going to cut right to the chase and post up some classic tracks (over ten years old) that get everything right (yes, there is more to the old school than the Wu-Tang Clan). Let’s do it…

1992
“Ill Street Blues”
Kool G Rap + DJ Polo
G Rap No DOY!



1995
"Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers"
Crooklyn Dodgers (Chubb Rock, O.C., and Jeru the Damaja)
What more do you want?


1996
“Fakin Jax”
Pete Rock & INI
You can’t sleep on Pete Rock’s genius production (or that Mobb Deep sample)




2000
 “Ice Pirates”
Sunspot Jonz Feat. Del Tha Funky Homosapien
"Propel like Helecopts"



2002
“Break it Down”
DJ Jazzy Jeff feat. J. Live
Half of you cats don’t know what he’s sayin’, the other half don’t care. Check the scratching. Philly FOOLZ.




SCORE 10/10

#NP HONORABLE MENTIONS
(The following tracks are good, but not classics, we can't recommend a purchase,
but we would recommend a listen.)



This is good, but strikes me more a a novelty than something I can get into.

"RUN-DMC Tribute"
Rampage









LIFE IS GOOD. BLAP BLAP.

If you noticed that we list the name of the track then the artists name, it's becasue I could give a fuck about who makes the tracks. It's all about the sound quality, black belts.
