[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Away from the Hip-Hop Wars the Pazz and Jop poll moves smoothly onward to 1986 - some great singles here but very few names that had not previously appeared in P&J. You get NINE ticks from these 25 tracks.

For the benefit of the Lex, "The Way It Is" was sampled by Tupac for one of his "I'm Dead, Rly" hits
Also sampled for "Never Change" by MC Buzz B if anyone remembers that.
