Well, for me the compilation was just alright, because I've missed a lot of that stuff, and I already owned those Public Enemy albums which have actually been my only contact to hip-hop so far. So with hip-hop I still consider myself a beginner. Of course it's the eternal problem of putting together any compilations, since there's always stuff that someone thinks is missing or doesn't suit there. I guess 'Hip Hop Don't Stop' was actually compiled from quite a "commercial" point of view from the beginning, but even as such it works for me OK. ekku the maintainer of pHinnWeb - everything u ever wanted to know about Finnish techno scene but were too afraid of the reindeer trerra@uta.fi | http://www.uta.fi/~trerra | http://www.sci.fi/~phinnweb
