American Five String Banjo 1901-1956 - Various Artists

Advantages: Different moods to relate to; some relaxing; some upbeat and lift your spirits
Disadvantages: I only have it on tape

...Call me old fashioned but I only own this on tape. I absolutely adore it; I love American Indian music and chants. It's so therapeutic and relaxing but with fantastic beat and rhythm with a variety of instruments. My tape hasa simple picture of an American Indian on the front in black and white (as the one Caio has provided).

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

...track on a Wu Tang album from 95. Basic stuff here again, with the rhymes the main focus rather than the beats or a bit of both. No real chorus or gaps just a continual back and forth between the two. Not for me Pusha Man - Joe Budden. Intimidating sounds here with the thought of dark streets and deals going down. Unfortunately the voice doesnt fir the production for me. Good beats but just missing something White Lines (Dont Do It) - Grandmaster Flash & the furious five. Classic stuff from the 80s give the album a bit more a light hearted interval which is needed between all the harsh rap. Money Power Respect - Lox, Lil Kim & DMX. Taken from Lox's first album, this was the best track from that album and one of the best here. Good use of strings, a lot of attitude and good rhymes from the whole lot. A Bird In The Hand - Ice Cube... Read review
