"There is nothing new under the sun"

Old is new, new is old, old wants to be young, young wants to be old, on and on it goes, but there is really no difference except in between.  Here we have a compilation of some of the finest soul tracks ever cut, courtesy of the legendary Memphis, TN music label, Stax Records.  Anyone who considers themselves even remotely knowledgable about hiphop will be surprised to find out how many hiphop songs are really sampled soul tracks.  The Wu, ODB, Three 6 Mafia, Big Daddy Kane, noone is exempt.  All of them influenced by the harmonies of The Emotions, the funk of Booker T & The MG's, The Bar-Kays,  The Dramatics, the groove of Rufus Thomas, and most of all the supreme musical genius of Isaac Hayes.  Get some Stax in your life!  This is...
