	SECTION 3 - ruffhouse records "greatest hits" [various artists]
		Ruffhouse has been around a little less than a decade, but their roster is pretty impressive.
		Maybe it was a little too early in their existence to release a greatest hits album, but Ruffhouse have five Fugee songs represented (including solo projects from Lauryn Hill and Wycleff Jean and the Refugee All Star John Forte), three songs by Cypress Hill (and one's a remix).
		I understand Ruffhouse didn't have much to choose from here, but I truly doubt even a portion of the population has ever heard "Cheapskate" from Sporty Thievz (who?), yet that song made it onto this "greatest hits" album.

	Ruffhouse Records Greatest Hits
		Ten years ago, the Philadelphia-based indie label Ruffhouse Records inked a P&D (pressing and distribution) deal with Columbia Records.
		The result was the establishment of a 90's Philly Groove thang that demolished the wall separating hip-hop and alternative music while continuing to produce an unbroken string of gold, platinum, and multi-platinum successes for the label.
		The Ruffhouse 10th Anniversary Special includes never-before-seen studio performances and/or live footage from many of the artists including Wyclef Jean performing "Gone Till November" at his Haitian Benefit Carnival Concert in Miami, 1998.

	Grrrrr...
		The band claims their album's been held hostage by the powers that be at Ruffhouse Records out in Conshohocken, that they're owed money from Columbia for recording the album, and that the label hasn't done anything to publicize the band.
		The band recorded an album, produced and mixed by Nicolo, but those 20 songs are still locked up in Conshohocken because of Columbia's lack of interest.
		Juno speaks with the female heads of record labels K Records and Thrill Jockey, and cultish artists like Phranc, Naomi Yang, Kendra Smith and the first all-woman rock band to be signed to a major label, Fanny.

		Taken from the 1998 Ruffhouse release The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, the track was released as a single in August 1998 and reached the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and the #1 position on the Billboard Hot R&B Airplay Chart.
		Ruffhouse began as a gleam in the collective eye of musician/manager Chris Schwartz (now Ruffhouse Chief Executive Officer) and studio alchemist Joe "The Butcher" Nicolo (now Ruffhouse President) in 1989.
		In 1995, Ruffhouse released Blunted On Reality, the debut album by The Fugees; that record generated two underground singles, "Nappy Heads" and "Vocab." Released in 1996, the Fugees' sophomore album, The Score became one of the watershed albums of the emerging hip-hop nation; The Score has been certified six times platinum by the RIAA.

		Thousands of records line one wall, a DJ setup inhabits a corner, a control booth sits at one end, various records — from old disco albums to Rappin’ Rodney (as in Dangerfield) — litter the floor.
		Initially, my first records were deep house and then I started experimenting with tribal and progressive and it expanded from there.
		Ruffhouse was a little large for what I was trying to do.

		And in the '90s Ruffhouse Records became one of the major players in hip-hop with releases from the Fugees, Cypress Hill and the Goats.

		As the founder of RuffHouse Records, Schwartz has built a fortress of hip hop's most renowned talent for a decade, selling his artists without selling them short of credibility.
		His headquarters in small-town Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania mirror his aesthetic distance from the industry's hubs, yet Schwartz's successful track record is hardly local flavor: RuffHouse boasts sales is excess of one hundred million, with gold and platinum records spanning the world.
		Schwartz anticipated a gold record with the 1996 follow-up, The Score; instead, the two-time Grammy winning record is at the seventeen million mark, contains the monumental single "Killing Me Softly," and is credited by the RIM as the biggest selling hip hop album of all bme by a group.

	Kool Keith Nov. 99
		On the MC’s debut record, 1988’s Critical Beatdown, Keith busted on wack MCs and commercial hip hop, while celebrating his own verbal fluency, a hip-hop rite of passage since Day 1, of course.
		His detail-rich imagery resonated, his accent on the off beat and non-rhyming schemes stood out, his metaphors were pungent and his dense flow had the stamp of genius.
		Besides providing an obvious sonic blueprint for much of current day hip hop, these records also found their way onto countless white labels in the mid-’90s British breakbeat scene.
