Sounds Like The 90s (Best Of) Vol. 12

I can't believe it but this marks the 12th edition of Sounds Like The 90s. Instead of bringing you new music this month we're bringing you a recap of sorts. Below is a double disc compiled of the best of Sounds Like The 90s throughout this year. And to close things out it was only right we brought back Blake and Tal for the artwork.

Many of you will remember the De La Buhloone Mindstate ad featured in various Hip-hop mags in '93. The image below is actually the real ad taken from URB when it was still a Cali-only free newspaper. The image was scanned straight from the paper and left in its current condition. Its not Sounds Like The 90s, this shit IS from the 90s.

So here is to another month of music and a nice way to close out 2009. A special thanks goes out to all the artists who have contributed, graphic designers and of course you for supporting. We'll be continuing the SLT9s series in 2010 but for now enjoy this double fix. --Philaflava

  2. AC The PD is saying, this series should be called Nothing Like the 90's, and it is the most shameful, fake, wannabe project in TROY history. One or two decent tracks per volume = failure. And I declare this is factual, not opinion.

  4. But when/if you see me, you won't/don't say shit to me. Cuz you're a human shade tree HipHop wannabe. If you were relative to HipHop, we'd share mutual respect.

    I declare this Sounds Like The 90's series sounds NOTHING LIKE THE 90's ... one or two decent songs per volume, and if you think otherwise, it's cuz YOU AIN'T HIPHOP! Period, end of story.

  7. ^anonymous- Good words of advise that AC should take. Nobody hates you, AC. But try to
    take this guy's advice.

    And about this series:
    Even if you don't like it, or think there's only a couple of joints on each that are TROY worthy, this one is a "best of". And I can't see you not respecting at least half of the music on this one.

    Ehh, whatever, I'm wasting my time, I know this.

    I would definitely like to hear more from that "Nero" kid. That beat has been stuck in my head for three days, now. Homeboys got some real potential.

    Good work on on putting these all together. I know it's far from an easy task.
    peace.

  8. translation: "Even if you are right about Sounds Nothing Like the 90s AC, please stop reminding us how we are such suckers for ever trying to diss you on phulafaags"

  9. You insecure cynics who replied here did so only for the sake of self aggrandizement and added nothing of value to the conversation. If you do not have anything better to do than ride coat tails and whine that's not our problem. Go away. Period. Thank you.

  10. I just listened to volume 12 and it was as bad as all of the other volumes. Whoever is responsible for putting these together should just kill themselves, for real!
