A review of GTA VC's Wildstyle Pirate Radio.

"Wildstyle Pirate Radio is an awesome cd, as well as the radio station in the actual video game. It was relesed around the time the game was, which was in the year of 2002. Most of the tracks on this album are spectacular, and feature Old School rap at its best. There is also some great commentary by Mr. Magic. All of the songs are in there original sequences and aren't shortened like they are in the video game's radio station.My top 3 favorite pieces from this album are 7,10, and 15. Mantronix by Bassline has a great beat and an outstanding introduction sound to it. Al-Naafiysh [The Soul] by Hashim is another stupendous composition with a nice, crisp sound. Rock Box by Run DMC has an awesome guitar sound and great lyrics. In fact, after I heard this particular song, I went out and bought the album of theirs that it originally debuted on. It was no dissapointment.To abridge, this is a great release. It has terrific rap music on it. Thank God it's not like today's modern rap, with all of the uneccesary cursing and violent/hateful themes. I don't know who could stand listening to that. C-BO's the only exception. Great memories on Wildstyle. Thank you for taking the time and generosity to read my review."
Where's the Smurf!?!

"When I heard the Smurf by Tyrone Brunson, I was like, "Oh Yeah!!!". But when I saw that they didn't have it on the CD, I was like, "Oh no!" The Smurf would've been the only reason why I would've bought this CD being that I already have the other tracks. The Smurf is a major jam. Too bad it didn't make the cut."
