Marley Marl - In Control Vol. 1 (special extended edition)

I always thought I had this in the crate back in the day, but looking at the pimpalicious photo to the left (dookie rope and dress blues? Marley you spoil us!) I guess not. Marley dropped In Control Vol. 1 for the first time in 1998. It compiled a full clip of Juice Crew bangers like The Symphony and Dropping Science. The new record adds a second disc of unreleased stuff, as well as some audio annotation from Marley himself and it's pretty damn spectacular. It sure isn't going to make me break out the Shop Boys stuff anytime soon. Check the tracklisting below. Any fan of real hip-hop should be picking this up immediately.
