Soundbombing II appreciation thread

[THE 101]

Quite possibly the GOAT compilation. Just perfect. An amazing selection of guests. Everything from conscious shyt, lyrical shyt, experimental rap and more. It's epitomizes everything that was dope about the underground scene in the late 90s. It wasn't just a bunch of dusty bums trying to sound like Black Moon. These rappers had distinctive styles and charisma. They were stars in their own right.

It also has some incredible turntable work. The scratching, transitions and mixing is impeccable.

It's just classic after classic.







I miss this type of shyt

The transitions between songs were soooooooooo fukking sick. Love the transition into "Any Man"

 

[Mr. Negative]

James Murdoch is one of the founders of Rawkus Records (put in the seed money). James Murdoch = Richard Murdoch's son, Richard Murdoch = Fox News founder. I would venture to say that 101% fans of Soundbombing II are diametrically opposed Fox News and all that it stands for. Let that marinate.

 

[Da_Eggman]

oh and Eminem's "Any Man".

i miss that Eminem
