Review

Old School Players: Old School Rap brings together hard-to-find, eagerly-sought old school tracks like Run DMC's smash "It's Like That," "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash, "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugar Hill Gang, "Roxanne, Roxanne" by UTFO and the Beastie Boys' "Brass Monkey." Cuts by Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, the Treacherous 3 and others complete this comprehensive, historic rap collection. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
