It takes a pretty connected man to assemble the most star-studded rap
album ever released. The Tunnel features all of the biggest and best MCs
in hip-hop -- DMX, Jay-Z, Nas, Method Man, Eminem, LL Cool J,
Snoop Dogg, Capone-N-Noreaga, Mary J. Blige, Raekwon, and Redman
and Erick Sermon -- freestyling over tracks, most of them produced by
Rockwilder or Funkmaster Flex himself. The affair is somewhat similar
to his popular mixtape series, which alternated hip-hop classics with
guest appearances from MCs inserted between standard productions.
The mere presence of all these incredible rappers is more than enough
to push The Tunnel over the top, and the addition of a live freestyle
between 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G. recorded in 1993 makes it
worthwhile for that track alone. Among many highlights,
"True" with Method Man, "For My Thugs" with Jay-Z, "We in Here"
with the Ruff Ryders, and "Ill Bomb" with LL Cool J are the best here.
