This seems like a fun game, I'm down to revive it.
1. Champion - Brother Ali
2. Starkville City Jail (Live) - Johnny Cash
3. My Lovin is Digi - RZA (as Bobby Digital)
4. Hoto Chotan - RZA (as Bobby Digital)
5. Queen Anne's Revenge - Flogging Molly
6. I wanna Get High - Cypress Hill
7. B Boys Will B Boys - Black Star
8. (Dawning of a) New Era - The Specials
9. I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face - Sonny Rollins
10. Evil Evar - G.B.H.
I think my favorite cut off this compilation is probably the Sonny Rollins tune. He's my second favorite saxophonist, behind Trane, and this is a really soulful song. I haven't heard anyone mimic the tone that man could pull out of a tenor.
My least favorite would probably have to go to the GBH song. I used to be really into punk, but we've grown apart recently, and the majority of the punk that I can still listen to and appreciate are songs I really liked back in the day. GBH is also really musically simple, even for punk. They're no Minutemen.
Favorite album that came up is easily Brother Ali's "Shadows on the Sun," his debut album. He's one of the best underground hip-hop artists around today, and the whole album combines tight beats, rhymes and real messages into a solid, solid album. Highly recommended for any hip-hop fan. And the man puts on a hell of a live show.
