Hip Hop Essentials - Vol. 12

Last volume of the hip hop collection, compiled by Tommy Boy contains two serious big hits: "The Breaks" by Kurtis Blow and "Me, Myself and I" by De La Soul.


I can't deny the feeling the last 3 CD's could have been brought down to two, skipping some tracks that are worthwhile listening to, but do not really add to the series when it comes to representing the chosen period. Still there are some really good tracks on this volume. "Live at The Barbeque" from Main Source and "Played Like a Piano" from King Tee are good tracks.



Concluding with the last track of this last volume: "Weekend" by Cold Crush Brothers.
