First track on Rhino records' Street Jams: Hip-Hop from the Top Vol. 1 from 1992

Opening Verse lyrics (Hi-C):
Hi-C's going back to the old school
Where hip-hop rules, and everything's cool
I used to sit by the radio and wait
When my song came on, I'd make me a tape
And everybody in my house used to jump
To the old hip-hop and a disco bump
Until now it's been going strong
With 'juice' on the mix, you know we can't go wrong
All the kids on the block was in a rage
It was B-boy style in the old rap days
I didn't sleep at night because I can't get enough
Of the original hip-hop stuff
So I give props and I'd like to say
If they didn't do it then, there would be none today
Skanless and the Rhino can't be stopped
Check it out party people, hip-hop from the top

The rest of the song contain parts of (not in order):
Adventures of Super Rhymes - Jimmy Spicer
Basketball, The Breaks and 8 Million Stories - Kurtis Blow
The Pure - Captain Rock
The Real Roxanne and Roxanne, Roxanne - UTFO
Request Line and The Roof Is On Fire - Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three
