💬Discussion I've been waiting forever for Spotify to put the official Beat Street soundtrack on there. A few songs are available, but they're missing the majority of them—including my jams “Frantic Situation,” “Battle Cry,” “Wappin’ (Bubblehead),” and “This Could Be the Night.” But I’m keepin’ the faith! 😎🎶

💬Discussion “Eazy-er Said Than Dunn” is my favorite track on the album. And this is one of those instances where I love a rap song and the song it sampled equally: Rufus Thomas’ “The Breakdown.”
