From 2006.
Whenever I get the chance, I burn CD compilations of oddball music
samplers, party mixes, and essential collections/retrospectives of
various artists, all culled from the Vault's voluminous record/CD
library. Up next to be burned are essential sets of the B-52's,
Oingo-Boingo, and the Dickies, but my pet project that I really need to
get off my ass and put together is my dream collection of favorite old
school rap and hip-hop tunes.
And when this disc is completed it will be dedicated to the four people who most heavily influenced my tastes in such matters, namely Steve "Senter" Hughes, Nicole and Jennifer Vandestienne (the lovely twins of evil), and of course Adam "Mister Fun" Cataldo. If you can't dance to this batch of tunes, look for a fucking toe tag.
