Isn't this like the FOURTH "greatest hits" series that Tommy Boy has put out? Talk about recycling your own catalog to death.

Mad Drama Teacher

The only disadvantage to this will be the price.

EDIT: ODub, I would say this goes well beyond a greatest hits. This thing's practically an anthology.

Brian

i think it's a good focus period for younger hip hop listeners. there's a lot of influence during these years and kids aint gonna hear this shit anywhere else. if i had any younger relatives, i wouldnt hestitate in buying this for them. t t l has it for 100 which i think is quite reasonable for 12 cds even though it's recycled material

The 12 volumes are no joke but Tommy Boy's done multi-volume sets before (their 5-volume "Greatest Beats" being the most substantial):

But there was also the 4-volume "The Perfect Beat" series.

Looks like TB has finally decided just to empty the cabinet.

Brian

shit, i never really paid attention to any of those older comps. still though, this one is THOROUGH and priced well

piedpiper

yup, that seems to be a well done best of collection.

Well, this one is not assembled exclusively from the TB catalog.

I don't know--looks kind of like a hodge-podge to me, but might be just the thing for younger listeners.

tripledouble

no random rap??? or fast rap????

batmon

I dont understand the choices? Are these what Tommy Boy put out or someone @ TB outlook of essential singles.

Tim Dog was on Ruffhouse Columbia
Many other acts werent even on Tommy Boy.

Did Tommy Boy absord the rights to all these seminal tracks/song and claim they put them out? WTF???

RUN DMC?
Justice?

Or could it have been called Victoria's Secrets Hip Hop Hits 79-92.....right. Is it just simple Branding.
