You might dismiss [adult swim] to be retarded TV for people who should watch Cartoon Network but are afraid to admit it. But regardless of what you feel about the TV network this a comp. that kicks ass. 10 choice cuts from top Alt. Hip Hop label Definitive Jux' (hence the name of the comp. as it is [adult swim] exclusive) best mic fiends. The songs have the feel of a set of b-sides but that kind of b-side you play more than the single. Aesop Rock, El-P & Cage are of the more well known names (relatively) but a real gem is a jam from the late Camu Tao. Overall the comp. is all-star with few weak points, of course it rating will be high but that is the nature of a comp. An essential for Alt. Hip Hop fans, even if you know none of the artists as 8 of the 10 tracks are accessible & while lyrically challenging at times, the sounds are smooth & easy to like.
Best Tracks: Plot a Little, Smithereens, Blood Boy & None Shall Pass
