I am very disappointed in the prior Amazon reviews which gave this album poor ratings. I found the album to be a great compilation of old school rap. I consider myself to be an old school fan with knowledge in the field, and of all the music I have listened to this album is a perfect assembly of the greatest jams from the eighties. Grandmaster Flash's mixes are flawless; he combines the beats in perfect proportion. I give it 5 stars and two thumbs up!
