Contains 25 timeless classics that need no introduction.
It's a four-disc blockbuster.





I bought this record at a used record shop in my hometown of Niigata when I was in high school.
(KING KONG, I think)


To digress a little, I spent three months buying two turntables and a mixer using the money I had saved from a part-time job at the time.

I bought my first turntable with the money I earned from my first part-time job.
Next, the mixer.
In the third month, I bought another turntable and was very happy when I completed my DJ set.

Then I finally started collecting records.


At the time I had little information and no knowledge, but I remember the moment I found this record I immediately decided to buy it.



This is a timeless work that fully teaches us the charm of hip hop.
The record is out of print so it may be difficult to get hold of, but there are songs available digitally so be sure to check it out.



By the way...
