--I copped this album jr year of highschool in 98, and my head was flipped upside down with bewilderment. It was around the time when i didn't know a thing about HipHop, my only experience in such a genre was back in elementary school when i went out and copped Gangstarr (5th grade thankyou very much), Ice Cube, Dre, Snoop, Bone, etc. As far as the fundamentals of HipHop, i knew absolutely nada, and so thru The World Famous Beat Junkies album, I had discoverd a lifestyle adorned with dj's mc's graff writers and bboys. It sparked a HipHop Zealot in me and i haven't looked back since. I'm posting this blog because i've been listening to this album quite a bit lately, it's rough around the edges for todays listeners but sincere to the HipHop spirit. The Beat Junkies are world renoun crew composed of nearly a dozen djs that battle (Shortkut), produce (J-Rocc, Babu), and dj for various HipHop groups (Dilated Peoples, Visionaries), they're a force imitated by many but never fully replicated. This album was my jumpoff into the abyss of HipHop, and i've remained dedicated til the end with this culture ever since!
