All Hail the DJ

"Into Hip-Hop rather than just the plain ol' Rap category? Then give this disc a spin. All cuts are great and gives one a nice broad look (er, listen?) or introduction into turntablism. This CD isn't about hardcore raps, bragadoccio boasts, or gangsta leans - this CD is all about showcasing each DJ's skills. And trust me, there a lot of skills on display here. A lot of people don't know the DJ behind their favorite group or MC, but this is your chance to get more familiar with them. Or at least respect them. A search of the track listing should get you the DJs on the CD - we're not talking Dr. Dre (ex-NWA) or whomever, we're talking true cutmasters like Mixmaster Mike, Babu, and PB Wolf - just to name a few. If you've seen the film SCRATCH then you know who half of these DJs are. This CD is way better than the SCRATCH soundtrack - this is the true greatest hits for DJ's. Listen and learn, kids. Listen and learn."
