This Tape or Cd, I had the Tape, was a true banger. Mix of East & West in a time when the world needed it. Summertime in the LBC was a hit, so was the computer love big jawn. Meth and wu had a couple songs on it too.. only 1 of my friends outta 9 had the cd. Every rap fan should have/hear this. It thumped too
