Advantages: a good length, a nice mix of the elements of hip hop, clever and funny Disadvantages: not many that i can see.
Jurrasic Five feel to them. MC Paul Barman is also hilarious with his bonkers lyrics and mad jibes. Both songs on here warrant buying the albums of those artists, which was probably the idea, but worth it as they are tremendous artists in their own right.
At 36 tracks long, you might be fooled into thinking this is a long album, but the scratch skits are only short and so the album ends up being a nice length. It?s a good listen, well worth the money and the splitting sides. A nice mix of rap and DJing for all comers. Frankly if I had to pick, Vol.1 and 2 are DJ Yoda?s best work.

on a mobile, but was disappointed when I actually used it. When compared to a standard MP3 player, the BeatDJ lacks a depth of sound, and while the 5.1 channel surround sound effect works OK with some genres of dance music, when listening to anything vocal or instrumental the sound is not good.
There are a couple of good features for the music function of the BeatDJ. I was pleased to see the inclusion of a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, as well as the duel purpose the lock key button, which as well as activating the key lock also launched the music player. Another nice feature is the ability to drag and drop an album into the BeatDJ's CD player to get a track going. However, this is where the user friendliness of the BeatDJ's music function stops, there are no dedicated keys to play, fast forward, rewind or change the track ...
Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: Takes a while for the bangers to come in
Soon after his ?Stillmatic? album came out, in 2002 the New York MC Nas decided to bring out more material as ?The Lost Tapes?, in which he was seen to (rather than come out with a brand new album) compile a collection of all the best tunes which hadn?t made their way onto ?...I Am?, ?Nastradamus? and the 2001 album which reminded people why he created such a buzz with his 1994 debut release.
1. ?Doo Rags?
He gets the album going with a fresh tune to guide listeners in. It is a calm one and features some gentle production to ease people on here as he gives you a chance to just enjoy life with a feel-good recording here. It is a tune which reflects the fact that here he was just messing around this material and came up with a light tune to escape what you typically get in a rhyme set from the Queensbridge native.
