Lyrics from Phat Trax: The Best of Old School, Vol. 1
All Music Guide Review
Disco and funk combine on Phat Trax: The Best of Old School, Vol. 1, which pays tribute to the sounds that inspired hip-hop. Rolling, voluptuous basslines, uptight guitars, and vibrant brass sections drive tracks like Funkadelic's "(Not Just) Knee Deep," Brass Construction's "Get Up to Get Down," Brick's "Dazz," and Isaac Hayes' "Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic," bridging the gap between funk and disco and providing countless rap and hip-hop artists ample material for sampling. Michael Henderson's "Wide Receiver," the Bar-Kays' "Hit and Run," and Mass Production's "Firecracker" are among the other highlights of this funky, stylish compilation, which also documents just how integral these songs were to hip-hop's development. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
