One can't venture very far into contemporary pop without hearing the echoes of '70s-'80's soul, funk and r&b; decades once mocked have seen their vibrant, groove-savvy music re-embraced -- often without a trace of kitsch-savvy irony. This triple-disc, 58 track collection may come anthologized with a slightly cheesy conceit--retro-party-soundtrack-in-a-box, with discs devoted to flavoring your soulful soiree's beginning, middle and end--but its potent collection of vintage, era-evoking favorites can't be denied. Disc one/"Kickin' It Off" wends its way from expected jams like Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music" and Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" through such funk-fueled grooves as James Brown's sweaty "Payback" and Donna Summer's urgent, torch-song-with-a beat "Last Dance." Disc two/"Getting' Into the Groove" does just that via Top 40 stalwarts like The Spinners, Four Tops and O'Jays, while making room for legends (Al Green, Isley Brothers) and newcomers like the Brothers Johnson and Kool & the Gang alike. The set's final act winds down into late-night sultriness via Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Heraling," Delfonics' "Didn't I Blow Your Mind," Pointer Sister's "Slow Hand" and other sexy charms. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:
Before Flex Went Corporate Pt. II {4 Stars}.......2006-09-10
The first problem I have with this album is the use of 70's funk. I'm as big a fan as anyone of classics like "Flashlight", "Outstanding", and "Rising To The Top", but they stuck out like sore thumbs. Simply put, they didn't fit on the album....and he didn't blend them very well either. Secondly, whoever told Mary J. Blige she could rap should be tied up and forced to listen to her horrid rapping for a month straight. Also, if you're looking for the 12" version of the classic "No Joke/Follow Me" (which is mixed and scratched 20 times better than the album version), then look elsewhere, it's not included on this album. I actually bought the single on wax before I bought this album and I remember being thoroughly disappointed. The rest of the album is pretty tight though.
The Mixtape Volume II: 60 Minutes Of Funk is the last great Funkmaster Flex album. Volume III is good, but it's where Flex starts to lose his street appeal and aims for the mass appeal. If you want to hear some dope stuff from back when Flex still had his ear to the street, then check this and Volume I out. Two thumbs up from this listener.
Standout Tracks: Boot Camp Clik Freestyle (My Favorite), Back To Like (However Do You Want Me), Clear My Throat, Nas Freestyle, No Joke/Follow Me, Sucker MC's, Tour, Jay Z Freestyle, Relax & Party, Puff Daddy & Mase Freestyle, Lil' Kim Freestyle, I'm Not Feeling You, and Lady Saw Freestyle
