Reviews

In reality, this so called battle is really a joke.  I don’t think any serious fan of hip hop thinks that a showdown between these two groups would ever happen in the first place and if it did Flash and the boys would dominate and humiliate.  In any case, it’s a good rundown of the two groups Sugar Hill Records records that Rhino has under it’s control. -  JohnG
