The astounding Night Ripper is a lock as an Album of The Decade for this reason, if no other: It contains every piece of music ever made throughout history. Seriously. Check out Once Again, if you don't believe me. In 2:40, you'll hear N'Sync, Boston, Ludacris, The Verve, Outkast, M.I.A., Oasis, Arrested Development, Genesis, The Boredoms, Positive K, and The Five Stairsteps. And that's a partial list for Track One. (The wiki for the album has an amazingly detailed breakdown of samples by the second!)
Night Ripper (2007) is the ultimate in manic DJ mixtapes, mashups, and megamixes. Yes, it is a musical strobe light, but it's party-time fun. Despite the kitchen sink approach to mixing, it's an amazingly thought-out set of tracks and booty-moving to boot.
