Released during the late '80s and early '90s, the volumes in Priority's exhaustive Rapmasters series plugged a gap in the rap-compilation market. They offered a decent alternative for rap fans who were on a budget and unable to snap up each single as it became available. In addition to tying up a good amount of classics, a lot of the tracks included remain tough to find. Despite the fact that no volume is definitive (there are some clunkers), each one is bound to introduce the listener to a previously unheard gem or two. The eighth volume of the series, subtitled Best of the Street, is skimpy -- as well as short on range -- with only six tracks, but it is worth considering that the majority of them extend well past the six-minute mark. Included here are Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five's "The Message," Grandmaster Flash's "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel," and the Sugarhill Gang's "8th Wonder." ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
