^^^^
"Tower With The Power" was my @%##.

There's a few joints underneath that are tough to see.

Three Times Dope under the Eric B and Rakim album. 

Low End Theory is under the Stetsa tape.

X Clan is under the Kurious single.

Pete Nice solo album is under the Cypress album.

There's a compilation tape of crazy Roxanne Roxanne answer records under the Meth tape.

And under that Roxanne @%## I believe is the 7A3 album, which was DJ Muggs first group.

Step In The Arena is under the House Of Pain tape.

Diamond D album is under the Beasties tape.

Wild Pitch Classics is peeking out in the Top Right corner under the whole case.

People sleep on that Kid N Play album. I know they went the movie route. But "Gittin Funky", "Last Night" and "Do This My Way" were official.
 
^^^

It is indeed. Album is phenomenal top to bottom if I recall.

"It's Funky Enough" still goes.
