The Diggers Union

THE DIGGERS UNION - YOU CALL THAT DIGGING?
This one is a real classic you got to have this in your collection.
Never in the history of mixtapes has a project like this come to fruition, or even been conceived. 8 out of 10 DJ's in the Diggers Union Local 1200 camp ( Hevehitta, DJ Unexpected, DJ Rob Shock, Scratchmasta Jazzy G, DJ Osk, DJ Casper, DJ Crazy Chris & DJ Showtime) combine for 67 tracks of music history. From remixes to rare demos to breaks only Afrika Bambaata knows about, rest assure the cd is nothing less than historical. Since everyone is apparently trying their hand at playing "old school" on their mixtapes, ignore the rest and adore the best! Enjoy and be educated! - The Diggers Union

This mixtape is a work of art, each DJ showcasing not only their individual talents but their creative love for music. If your looking for a mixtape that will capture what it was like to watch hip hop evolve from its infancy to what we see now and the excitement that you felt as each artist took it to the next new level, well you can't go wrong with this mixtape then. This mixtape brings back a lot of memories. Thanks Diggers Union!

This shit is NOT something you can ride to or put on in the background when niggaz is smokin and drankin . . .. this is something some white liberal-arts hippie college professer would play for his "Hip-Hop Appreciation 101" course . .. . Just look at Jason Hopson's comment above me and then click on his name and peep the myspace. . . .. NUFF SAID !!!!!!!! . . .
