Yes, probably a 'best of', but looking for some 80's stuff ala White Lines, Rappers Delight etc, but not knowing much about the genre, just looking at the multitude of compilation albums out there leaves me stumped.

By All Means Necessary - Boogie Down Productions (Krs1)
+1, "Worldwide BDP are the freshest" A seminal musical moment for me getting that LP, I think I paid over the top for the early release import version, may have to go and play that now.

+1 for it takes a nation of millions to hold us back. Fear of a black planet is great too. Sound and content is alot harder than White Lines, Rappers Delight etc though.
For beginners to hip hop then i'd recommend starting off with something like De La Soul - 3 feet high and rising, the Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia or Jurassic 5 - Jurassic 5. Great albums and very accessible too

Posted 1 year ago # -
The 'badmeaninggood' CDs are good, give you a feel of hip hop from it's multiple roots through to present day (ish)

a few years after the ultramagnetic MCs but you gotta love Dr. Octagon's 'Dr. Octagonecologyst' - lyrics, beats and djqbert (check ou the last minute of blue flowers). Earth people... Kool Keith's other personas also work for me. Dr Dooom 'First Come, First Served' is some great dark moments "While ya'll talk gangsta, I push body parts in shoppin' carts"
