Would be nice to finally hear Preem set the record straight. What are your thoughts? And where does Gang Starr rank among your all-time favorite groups?

The Real Reason Gang Starr Broke-Up?
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012T.R.O.Y. Presents – Sounds Like The 90′s Vol. 20
Friday, August 19th, 2011
Back with a 22 shot banger. Our biggest compilation to date and hopefully you’ll agree one of the best. On 20 you’ll hear the return of Tragedy, Cella Dwellas and Showbiz & A.G. as a group. Sean Price ripping the same beat found on the “Ultimate MC Rush” he once appeared on with Saukrates. Some Preem and Alchemist beats and of course the back end of the mix takes you into a chill state with the help of Blu, Superstar Quamallah and Willie Evans Jr (formerly Asamov). Shots to both dirt_dog and Strategy for the help as always. –Philaflava

Bahamadia – Kollage
Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
In the small pond of female MCs, an artist like Bahamadia who has not had to resort to selling sex appeal, is a rarity. Her unique, soft-spoken yet eloquent words made her debut Kollage an album that is both relaxing and challenging. With a backdrop of all-star production from DJ Premier, Beatminerz and Guru, as well as a guest spot from her hometown natives The Roots, Bahamadia brings a wide variety of material to the table. She can rhyme smoothly or she can enunciate target words in lines to provide a punch. She can spit slow or speed it up to give us a precursor to the style of Big Pun. No matter what her approach to tracks is though, she always came correct with intelligent bars and thought-provoking lyrics. (more…)

T.R.O.Y.’s Unofficial Wu-Wednesday (Week 13)
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Wu-Tang’s smallest artist. I always wished that Shyheim kicked a verse in TLC’s “Waterfalls” after making an appearance in their video. He had a great career going as a youngster, music, movies and TV. Then in 2001 got sent off to prison for a couple years. I know Shyheim helped form Bottom Up music and is about to drop a new album with Dom Pachino of Killarmy. Will 2011 be his comeback year? I hope so.

Today’s Mathematics: 5%er Rap Compilation
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010The DJ Premier Blog recently posted the CDQ version of the recent KRS-One and Grand Puba collaboration titled “5%” from the upcoming KRS-One/DJ Premier album “Return Of The Boom Bip.” The song, as you might guess, chronicles the rise of the Nation of the Gods and Earths in the NYC and all outlying counties in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. A while back I compiled songs that explicitly  incorporate 5%er teachings, so in light of renewed interest in the subject I added “5%’” and a few more cuts to the mix. Tracklist and download link are available after the jump. This is not an 85 affair. — Thun
T.R.O.Y. Presents – Sounds Like The 90s Vol. 17
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010The last volume before the new year. While it was a pretty good year in hip-hop, there wasn’t an overwhelming amount of throwback tracks, thus us delivering you just 5 volumes of Sounds Like The 90s in ’10.
As many of you know, we do these compilations to capture an era that we all love. Some tracks do sound like the 90s, while others are artists from that era doing their thing. A few of these tracks have been out for awhile now, some even debuted on this site, but here is a tightly sequenced mix for the holidays. I wouldn’t normally put 3 tracks by one artist on a mix, but Kanye killed it this year (all 3 tracks not on the LP) and Q-Tip is responsible for 2 of those gems. There was no way I wasn’t putting these on for you guys.
Thanks to all the people that have supported over the years. We’ll continue to do these and we’re always keeping an open mind, so if you got something, don’t hesitate to link us. Props to Dirt_Dog and Strategy for helping–as always. Shouts to the entire T.R.O.Y. squad and our readers. Download link and front cover are below, back cover and tracklist are after the jump. Happy Holidays! –Philaflava
