If you are familiar with Nujabes (and have the money to spend) this is a very worthwhile purchase. Nujabes produced a lot of tracks on this compilation and the lyricists are nice. No crazy rap (a la Kool Keith), no violent gangsta rap, and no horror core rap. Not all songs prominently feature lyrics, but those that do are very pleasing to my ear. None of these rappers is on par with Acey, Del, GZA, or the upper echelon of lyricists, but they all have nice flow and very nice content. However, my guess is that most people that purchase this will do so for the Nujabes and Nujabes-esque production. They will not be disappointed.
For those who are not familiar with Nujabes, he produces hip hop that often prominently features piano or flute, and is somewhat jazzy and is somewhat reminiscent of Large Professor or Pete Rock. That being said, Nujabes is not a clone of those classic producers and really is doing something different than them. I wish I could describe his production techniques a bit better, but I am not sure I have skill with words. Give his stuff a listen if you are curious. Your ear will probably be more useful than my words.
This is definitely some of the best music I've ever listened to. DJ's like Nujabes pull out my favorite type of beats. Smooth and jazzy hip hop. And doing collabs with guys like Shing02 and Funky DL. Hyde Out Productions FTW! Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something to listen to while chilling or cruising.
Great stuff; big fan of Nujabes and his work (may he rest in peace) and wanted to collect physical cd's, since I couldn't find a lot of his stuff anywhere else.
