BLAXPLOITATION

320 KBPS

A culmination of the innner city spirit, containing a myriad of soul classics and hard to find cuts. From jazz filled instrumentals backed by driving baselines, such as Deodato's "September 13th", to the smooth baritone and rolling drum crescendos of Gil Scott Heron's "Gun" this album captures the essence of an era. Classics, such as Mayfield's "Superfly" or James Brown's "The Boss" are only part of the mosaic which constitutes this collection. William De Vaughan's "Be Thankful for What You Got" reminds me of classic cruising beats like War's "Low Rider" and Grover Washington Jr.'s "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)" with it's pumping beat, hard baseline, and wailing saxaphone will cause even the most stiff head to begin bobbing. Many tracks contained on this album have continued their legacy, spawning the samples of todays hip-hop culture. Overall, The Best of Blaxploitation is a must have, enjoyable listening from the first track to the last, and never ending replay value. You will not be disapointed.
