Grandmaster Roc Raida - Beats, Cuts, Skits

The Grandmaster returns! If you love authentic, crafty, and unabridged turntable showmanship than Roc Raida and his latest release "Beats, Cuts, Skits", is pretty self explanatory, but very understated...he should've added a superlative adjective in front of the title, somthing like "dope" or "nasty". This tape is far too ahead of the game, and yet still reminds us of a better time in hip-hop; a time when your skills spoke for you, and you coulden't get in the game unless you had some. This release drips with hip-hop authenticity, it's even all mixed down into one MP3 file, today's CD equivalent to yesteryear's Cassette Tapes, that were continous in play. If your an old head searching for an album that has somthing worthwhile, a creative structure, filled with great production, drop in's from some of the best in the game including DJ Premier, Smif & Wessun, Saigon, De La Soul, Fat Joe, M.O.P., Black Thought, and of course his X-men bretheren Mr. Sinister, then this is for you. For the hardcore Raida fans expect another worthy effort outta this album, he once again bypasses the allure of gettin' paid, and avoids putting anything on this compilation type album that would sully his dignified underground existence. In other words, Raida kept it real, no commercial bullshit on this joint either folks. Some joints that you will recognize on here are "Hip-Hop 101" by Aasim, "The PJ's" by Ghostface, Trife & Black Thought and "Let It bang" by M.O.P., and perhaps a few others depending on how down you are these days, but either way, now all them crazy joints is all in one place courtesy of Roc Raida.
