Rap Traxx Compilations
Published by Toronto Mike on August 9, 2010 @ 19:51 in Memories, Music
Did anyone else out there collect the Rap Traxx series of hip-hop compilation cds that came out in the late 80s and early 90s, or was I the only one?
I totally dug Rap Traxx, especially Rap Traxx 2. Here are the tunes that appeared on Rap Traxx 2.
| # | Artist | Song | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bust A Move | Young M.C. | 4:29 |
| 2 | Buffalo Stance | Neneh Cherry | 5:46 |
| 3 | Funky Cold Medina | Tone Loc | 4:12 |
| 4 | Joy and Pain | Rob Base & D.J. EZ Rock | 3:49 |
| 5 | My Philosophy | Boogie Down Productions | 6:41 |
| 6 | Nightmare on My Street | D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince | 4:54 |
| 7 | Say No Go | De La Soul | 4:23 |
| 8 | I'm That Type of Guy | L.L. Cool J | 5:20 |
| 9 | How Ya Like Me Now | Kool Moe Dee | 3:58 |
| 10 | Mary: Mary | Run DMC | 4:24 |
| 11 | Childrens Story | Slick Rick | 4:04 |
| 12 | Shake Your Thang | Salt-N-Pepa | 4:00 |
| Total: | 56:00 | ||
No, those weren't the coolest Hip Hop tracks available, but it was an easy way to get a whole bunch of the top 40 rap in an era before Napster or torrents. I can't tell you how many times I played Slick Rick's Children's Story!
I've got Rap Traxx 1 through 5 and I don't care who knows it.

I didn't have them all, but I did have 3 and 5 on tape for sure. And looking at the list for number 2 that you posted I think I might have had that one also.
