The Legacy Music Hour celebrated its big 300th episode in Los Angeles in front of a live crowd of LMH users!  There were of course fun live activities and user interactions, but no LMH episode would be complete without a lineup of banger tracks.  "I'll Keep On Fighting As Long As I Live (Stage 7)" from the X-Men arcade features some fantastic voice samples and as well as a section that sounds quite similar to "Nasty" by Janet Jackson.  There's also so many more great tracks in this 300th mixtape, so both kick back AND jam out!
