well, i approached this with a very open mind and i was quite frankly
appalled.

this was so annoying!! i wanted to shoot the CD player with a shotgun
just in case it decided to make any more horrible noises like this one.
quoted 5 lines "What's Your Name" by Potential Bad Boy w/MC Det. Wonderful ripping

this one pissed me off even more because pretty much every single
sound in it is sampled from "Bounty Killers" by Depth Charge, which is
a FAR superior track.
overall, i was NOT impressed and i would recommend that
jungle/breaks/whatever NEVER be mentioned on this list again lest I go
insane with a chainsaw in downtown Palo Alto. And you wouldn't want a
bloodbath like that on your conscience, would you?
In happier news - Daum Bentley (Freaky Chakra) is working on a jungle
remix of the track he did with Tony Halliday... Maybe that will change
my mind...
