These Are The Breaks (Straight Up Dubified Breaks/Mixed By Tayo) - Various Artists

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

...Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap.

Advantages: Just right to push you over the edge if you think there is hope!!
Disadvantages: Just when you think you're over it, this will drag you back down!!

.... Now she obviously has serious issues cos she is far too good looking to be ditched over something trivial!! Next to her is the title 'Break Up Songs' with a little broken heart inside the 'O' - It's the small touches that make the difference. Pure class. On the rear there is nothing other than a list of all songs on both CDs. Those with 'Listphobia' look away now! CD 1 1. Against All Odds - Collins, Phil 2. Leave Right Now - Young, Will 3. If You Leave Me Now - Chicago 4. What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted - Ruffin, Jimmy 5. It Must Have Been Love - Roxette 6. If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher 7. I Just Died In Your Arms - Cutting Crew 8. All By Myself - Carmen, Eric 9. How Do I Live - Rimes, LeAnn 10. I'm Not In Love - 10cc 11. Miss You Nights - Richard, Cliff 12. Touch Me In The Morning - Ross, Diana 13... Read review
