http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XOOLFJZTOh, this! 30 tracks from US hip hop's classic era, averaging at just under a minute long each, each one advertising -- yup, you got it -- St. Ide's. Check out that line-up: Wu, Rakim, Ice Cube, EPMD, Snoop Dogg, King Tee, Kool G Rap...I could go on. Yup, Wu's "Shaolin Brew" is that tune lying beneath Raekwon's "Spot Rusherz" skit, and the Nate and Snoop tracks practically justify G-Funk's existence in themselves.
But it's almost all awesome; perhaps it does damage the credibility of Wu and Cube's anti-commercial somewhat, but the amount of effort in the lyrics steers this away from the typical soulessness of most celebrity advertising. And there's a sweet East-meets-West vibe about it all that confirms this as one of the most unexpected rap classics I'll ever encounter. - Liam
