Operation Beatbox

Operation Beatbox is a various artists compilation album released on September 17, 1996 by Re-Constriction Records.

[3] The album compiles covers of popular hip hop tracks performed by electro-industrial acts, many of whom were part of the Re-Constriction roster.

It served as a direct sequel to the similarly themed cover album compilation Shut Up Kitty, released in 1993.

"[2] Aiding & Abetting gave it a more mixed review, saying the material ranges "from the sublime (SMP thrashing out "Prophets of Rage") to the utterly silly (as any cover of "Gangsta's Paradise" was bound to be).

"[5] Sonic Boom found the compilation's absurdity to be part of its charm, saying "don't be surprised if you find the majority of these tracks more than amusing as there is something fundamentally wrong with a gang of privileged white kids trying to sound like a band of inner city black youths.
