Mojo Magazine - The Roots Of Hip-Hop


While I don't always find these "Roots Of" discs to be commendable or complete, I am almost always impressed with the folks at Mojo Magazine. This contains some great old funk and rap joints for your ears and leads DaddyRich to believe that he should make his own 'roots of hip-hop series' - food for thought. Great oldies from Flash, Lee Dorsey ("Everything I do gon' be funky..."), James Brown and some strange inclusions like Blood, Sweat & Tears (WTF?) make this a nice little nugget for your collection.
