All I can say is I have been looking for a compilation which focuses on what started it all and this is a very informative and party throwin favorite of mine. Where there are cut offs in the songs is only for burning room and good segway to tell the story of the battles in the order in which they came out to diss the next. Kool DJ Red Alert gives very good insight as to how and why these songs came about.PEACE AND DON'T FORGET YOUR HAIR GREASE....I'm out!
