The FIRST full mashup tape I ever heard. After one listen I was absolutely hooked. When Biggie's "Dead Wrong" dropped over Led Zepplin's "Whole Lotta Love" I couldn't believe that shit. Once Eminem dropped his childhood memories from "Cleaning Out My Closet" over the Eagles' "Hotel California" I was a straight addict. This tape had some crazy combinations and was way ahead of its time. In addtion, I was pretty much a close-minded hip hop junkie but this tape actually pushed me to check out a lot of the rock tracks that served as instrumentals to hip hop's biggest stars. DJ Muggs is one of the originators of the mashup and this tape will mos def go down as a mashup mixtape classic.
