The best tracks from the 2006-released 'B-Boy' game. This album features the funkiest beats from The Jackson 5, Nina Simone and James Brown, as well as the hottest Hip Hop jams from the golden age with Eric B & Rakim and The Black Eyed Peas.

This is a collection of some of the best tracks from not only the game, but for the breakin style as a whole, these are the some of the tunes used by breakers as B-Boying became popular, giving it a strong retro feel to it with relevance to dance tracks today.

I. Believe In Miracles - Jackson Sisters

2. Think (About It) - Lyn Collins

3. Blow Your Head - Wesley, Fred & The JB's

4. Bringing It Back - The Black Eyed Peas

5. Life Of The Party - The Jackson Five

6. Love To The World - LTD

7. Organ Donor - DJ Shadow

8. Hot pants (I'm Coming I'm Coming) - Bobby Byrd

9.:Open Sesame - Kool & The Gang

10. Don't Sweat The Technique - Eric B & Rakim

11. Brother Green (The Disco King) - Ayers, Roy

12. Get On The Good Foot - James Brown

13. Brothers On The Slide - Cymande

14. Holy Ghost - Bar-Kays

15.: Mexican Millenium - Babe Ruth

16. Rated X - Kool & The Gang

17. Cold Sweat - James Brown

18. Funkier Than A Mosquito's Tweeter - Nina Simone

I enjoyed listening to this collction of tracks taken from the game as they all fit in well with the B-Boy scene, however, I would have to say that for a game which focused so much on the Hip Hop genre, the prescence of that music is almost non-existent, therefore not representing the game in the best way possible. I did like the funk feel of it as this is how Hip Hop came about and in my opinion they did find the best examples of this influence for the CD.

l'm not famiiliar with the "B-Boy" game, but you have done quite well in basic analysis here ~ more so than some elaborate track-by-track reviews that write much and say very little. Well thought through .... ♥ jes ♥
