The best of old school is here. Rhino Records collects ten tracks. It opens and closes with two Sugarhill Gang classics, "Rapper's Delight" in a reduced version of seven minutes, and "8th Wonder". In between, two Melle Mel classics, "White Lines" and "The Message", Fat Boys with the eponymous tune, Newcleus ("Jam On It"), Run DMC ("It's Like That") and The Sequence ("Funk You Up"), the Sugarhill Records women's group. To complete the comp, UTFO with the famous "Roxanne, Roxanne", always mediocre, and "The Breaks", the first cult single in the game created by Kurtis Blow. It's a titanic clash between pioneers that lasts seventy minutes.
Highlights: "Rapper's Delight", "White Lines", "Jam on It", "It's Like That", "The Message", "The Breaks".
Rating: 7.5/10.
