I think every DJ who is into the "MAW" sound has attempted to do a tribute mix at some point in their life. With the amount of selections to choose from, and the variations of style within those selections, the mix will be filled with quality music no matter what...and even then, you've only touched the tip of the iceberg.
I'm happy I did this in 2001 though, it was right after their switch into the "Elements Of Life" direction and therefore, an end to that driving sound that made them famous in the 1990's. Their hypnotic 5AM-esque dubby production style is a thing of the past, I guess everyone has to mellow out sooner or later...

Mos Def & Talib Kweli combined back in '99 with Mary J. Blige for this most beautiful of remixes, one of my most favorite pieces of vinyl ever. The lyrics, beat, and flow just get your mind open, timeless music for timeless folks.

The definitive list, better than Biggie's "10 Crack Commandments" if you ask me... cause you just can't mess with KRS-One on the chorus. I still constantly find myself quoting lyrics from this classic gem.
Back in 2005 there was this guy named Fitsum who was a great photographer, designer, and all around interesting guy to have a beer with (I don't know why I'm talking of him in the past tense cause he's still alive)... We shared thoughts on music, shots of GM, and whatever we felt like spilling out of our brains whenever we ran into each other.
Classic B-side from Goodie Mob's "Cell Therapy" 12", and way before Andre turned 3000 and into a cartoon character. Between listening to this in my headphones on the way to class and seeing the video on Rap City, it was a daily ritual to nod your head to this...
