I've heard this album a few times. It's got some great stuff.
Company Flow, J-Live, um...let me think...one of the guys that guested on
DJ Krush's "Milight" (I think its FInsta Bundy).
All of the groups are quality HIP HOP. Some hard hitting, some flowin
like lava, none bullshit.
Actually the only thing about the album that I dont like is the
repetition of that whole "DJ Premier, premier, preimer (premier premier,
ppppppp premier). Three times throughout the album is two time too many!!!
Other than that, a great comp. It's just a mix comp, though, no
unreleased songs I don't think. (a better hip hop comp. that has original
material is Beats and lyrics, out of the hyrogliphics camp.)

speaking of hyroglyphics, how's that album?
