"Back to the Old School" by Just-Ice has the best balance of emceeing, DJing, and beatboxing ever recorded. Just-Ice's lyrics were edgy and entertaining, and he had one of the most rhythmic flows. All respect to Jam Master Jay, but Kurtis Mantronik was the best DJ in the mid-80s, and also on of the best producers at the time. The Human DMX provided two of the best beatbox-based beats ever in "Latoya" and "Gangster of Hip Hop". No other album comes close to putting together all three of those elements together as well as "Back to the Old School".
