So let's get back to 1994, now after wading through well over 300 songs in the past few weeks, I actually think 94 was better than 1992, there were just so many dope styles and so many great records and albums released that year, that still hold up strong today and leave a lot of today's material in the dust (speaking of today's material, make sure you check for the free mixtape http://www.fatbeats.com/blackmilkpressuremixcd of Detroit's Black Milk's dope material...this is a kid that is a clear disciple of the late great J-Dilla (hard to believe it has been a year since he left this World) and keeps the sample and beat digging in effect).
Okay,1994...what else can I tell you?...Bomb Hip Hop released the very dope Bomb Hip-Hop Compilation, which featured Jigmastas (yes wayback in 1994,Charizma (RIP), The Dereliks,(what the hell were g'nu's?) Mental Prizm, Blackalicious,Homeliss Derelix and many others (a few are included on Back To 1994...Volume 2) and we also had the birth of Project Blowed who dropped the way ahead of it's time Project Blowed compilation in 1994 (not 1995 like some online stores say) and included Aceyalone,Abstract Rude, C.V.E., Freestyle Fellowship and many others holding it down for the West Coast underground.
Keep in mind that with these comps, I am trying to stay away from the obvious candidates (Nas, Gravediggaz, Gangstarr album tracks etc) and this is more about the slept on joints or remixes of that year and I don't doubt that you may have or heard all of these but if not then my job is done and as always enjoy...salute

Damn, man...that was like the soundtrack to my junior and senior years in high school! I still remember walking around with the ill Sony walkman with XBass Boost and my Pro 25 headphones from Radio Shack bumpin' a lot of these joints and taping the videos on Rap City and Yo! MTV Raps. You're killin' it, fam! One.
ha ha that's ill Dart and yeah man I had the same walkman and went through many pairs of headphones, thanks for the comment D, I learn from the best.
I actually do these comps in headphones because a lot of these were on old tapes...it's ill to know that I took you down memory lane
Peace
that looks like an excellent compilation. where's that native nutz track from? the only track I know is '40 oz of funk'. did they have an album?
