Mike Love Presents - The Best of Bad Boy Radio Freestyles (1997-2007)

Were this a truly inspired collection, Mike Love would’ve embraced his Beach Boys nomenclature, and forced the rappers in question to rhyme over “Surfin’ Safari,” “Surfin U-S-A,” and “Be True to Your School,” to say nothing of the 2Pac contrast implied in “I Get Around.”
Still, the Chicago hip-hop radio staple did rap nostalgists a great service by unleashing this must-download compilation of freestyles from Kanye, Common, Juvenile, Q-Tip, Pun, Outkast, Busta, et. al. Impromptu sessions that hearken back to the days when “freestyles” were actually free-styled. Of course, Fat Joe is spitting writtens, but it’s not like he actually wrote them himself, so there’s that.

I was hoping that these were Shyne/G-Dep/Puff freestyles. Guess Bad Boy is the name of his show or something.
