My boy CL, known to drop needles on some of the illest breaks you ever heard, has directed my attention to the long lost, but recently released, Top Shelf: 8/8/88. Groove junkies will love the instaclassic beats, which offer the perfect backdrop for rap's finest golden era MCs to get loose. The record features the likes of Biz Markie, BDK, MC Lyte, Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz, Masta Ace, Smooth B, Craig G, Fab, Grand Puba, Black Sheep, Chubb Rock, the Jungle-the Jungle-the Brothers-the Brothers and Special Ed. Those craving a return to the days of two turntables, a microphone, and MCs who could actually spit fire should get their hands on this joint.
