n°31 jazz hip hop

Black Sheep
The most profound hip hop album cover to this date.

What does feminism and boot kick shots in music videos have in common? Queen Latifah with here finest moment in hip hop according to me. The songs are dedicated to jazz and the influence it has had musically on hip hop. Heavy contra bass lines, syncopated rim shots and trumpet hysteria. Buckshot Lefonque gets help from Premier to produce a beautiful beat. Check the mix!

Tracklist
1. Buckshot Lefonque - "Music Evolution" (DJ Premier Version)
2. Queen Latifah - "U.N.I.T.Y"
3. Lords Of The Underground - "Chief Rocka"
4. Black Sheep - "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)"
5. Eric B & Rakim - "Don't Sweat The Technique"
