For most Solaar albums I can take 'em or leave 'em, but "Prose Combat" is an
excellent LP (production + vocals) and I don't mind his raps at all...  As
far as the Japanese go, that De La Soul "Long Island Wildin" track features
Takagi Khan, somehow/somewhat associated with the Major Force label that got
a compilation on Mo' Wax a couple years ago.  The set always looked nice in
the stores -- I just had the limited-edition five-LP out of its wraps a week
ago -- but I've never forked over for it.  Anyone have reviews or
recommendations?

Also related to great hip-hop ---> Finally, the 1st Mantronix reissue ("The
Album")...A+ production, B- raps...
