The best Ultimate Dance Party!.......2001-04-11

Sure, the mixing isn't the best, and the songs are older, but this compilation can still start a party easily. The whole album is upbeat and has many great hits. The album starts out with a lot of dance pop classics. There is Gina G's Ooh Ahh (Just A Little Bit), La Bouche's Sweet Dreams, Crystal Water's 100% Pure Love and the huge hit Jellyhead by Crush. Toni Braxton's huge ballad Un Break My Heart gets a upbeat remix by two of today's biggest remixers: Soul Solution and Hex Hector. The result is stunning, and Toni's vocals work perfectly with the beats. Whitney Houston covers Annie Lennox's Step By Step, which leads into the song Insomnia, which has kind of a futuristic feel to it. Two of the next songs, Mo Money Mo Problems and the outstanding Things Just Ain't The Same are very hip-hop/R&B styled and show the future of Ultimate Dance Party compilations, as this was the last one that was mostly dance. With just a few songs left, they manage to pull together some awesome tracks, including the childish but fun The Child Inside and Mark Morrison's upbeat and bouncy Return Of The Mack. And of course no dance compilation would be complete without the famous What Is Love from the Saturday Night Live skits. This compilation is one of the best (And funnest) out there. Definately pick this up! It's worth the price.

Good CD.......2000-07-24

This is a great CD. I listen to it all the time.

This Cd was a gift from Christmas 99. And I only started listening to it a week ago. I am surprised how much I like this CD! I wish I would have listened to it earlier!

Great!!.......1999-10-08

Want to feel like your in a dance club? Well this is the CD for you. All great, great songs.

You just can't sit still with this one!

Good music, good beat.......1999-09-24

Most of the dance songs in the album are popular and well-known in dance clubs. So, having this CD is like owning your dance club. Although the music is non-stop from track to track, the mixing between songs is sometimes not that well done. Anyway, I like this CD very much.

On an album filled with a conventional spread of crunkadelic beats and yelled out choruses so popular in the dirty south, it's unexpected that the heart of the Ying Yang Twins new album would be the downtempo salaciousness at the center: "Wait," "Pull My Hair," and "Bedroom Boom." Guaranteed to either titillate or offend (or perhaps, both), the songs find the Ying Yang Twins pioneering a whole new sub-genre, what Mike Banner has (jokingly?) called "intimate club." If you prefer your Ying Yang fix outside the sheets though, they have some vigorously upbeat tracks like "Ghetto Classics" (which samples Art of Noise's 1980s new wave hit, "Beat Box") and the infectiously bilingual "Shake" feat. Miami's Pitbull. The album even gets serious with the somber "23 Hr. Lock Down" feat. UGK's Bun B who speaks on his partner's Pimp C's incarceration, as well as the single mama's anthem, "Live Again." -- Oliver Wang

Album Description

Atlanta's Ying Yang Twins follow up their platinum breakthrough TVT Records cd, "Me & My Brother" and its massive hit "Salt Shaker", with the album of their career, "United State Of Atlanta." Kaine and D-Roc's latest smash, "Wait (The Whisper Song)," dominated clubs, radio and TV music video countdowns throughout the spring of 2005. A second single, "Badd" featuring Mike Jones looks just as strong, even as fans can't get enough of the "Wait" remix featuring Lil Scrappy, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliot and 106 & Park's Free. No longer just a Dirty South phenomenon, Ying Yang Twins have enlisted the help of guest stars Anthony Hamilton, Pitbull, Maroon 5 (yes that Maroon 5), Bun B, BG, Avant, Jacki-O and r&b singer Teedra Moses to present their most diverse and surprising album yet. Once again, DJ Smurf handles a lot of the production duties, and Lil Jon oversaw a track for his homies as well.

Customer Reviews:

Seen this from a mile away........2006-11-09

The Ying Yang Twins have really been a plague on hip-hop; they opened the doors for the D4L's, Dem Franchize Boyz, and Jibbs' of the world. Sure, there were wack emcees long before the Ying Yang Twins ever came onto the scene, but the entire 'snap' genre basically derived from the Ying Yang Twins; D4L and DFB can argue all they want, but neither created this sub-genre of hip-hop. The Ying Yang Twins did, and that reason alone is enough to condemn them to bargain bin sales.

Now, granted, I'm not part of their targeted audience; I'm a head who's grown up with the likes of the Wu-Tang Clan, Big L, Mic Geronimo, and Jeru the Damaja. However, at the same time, I'm not a certified hater of most mainstream hip-hop; there's a couple dozen commercial acts I can appreciate. Unfortunatey for Kaine, D-Roc, and most of all, myself when listening to this album, the Ying Yang Twins aren't part of that group. But, even the biggerst of Twin haters has to admit this music was made for the clubs, and no where but the clubs; and it was directed strictly at the women who love to shake their *sses. Granted, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that this album is a glorified doorstop outside of clubs.

At times, the Ying Yang Twins do show - believe it or not - growth. Live Again and Long Time(both back to back tracks) show they have their hearts in the right place; they just can't get the rest of their mind, body, nor soul there. Those tracks are two shining moments on the album, if only for the guest appearances from Adam Levine(who sounds at home yet again on a hip-hop release, oddly enough) and the soulful crooner, Anthony Hamilton. They also show that, at the very least, they can think of innovative ways to say the same damn thing, as on "Wait(The Whisper Song)" - the approach they took can be respected, but the lyrics are borderline retarded, even for YYT standards; come on, "beat the ***** up" being whispered nonsensically ten to twelve times in a row? This takes misogony to another level.

"Badd" manages to succeed on Ying Yang standards thanks to a guest appearance from Mike Jones(who nearly sounds average when paired with the Ying Yang Twins; quite a step-up!), and "Shake" is also your typical YYT song, with a guest appearance from Pitbull. To be perfectly honest, this is about your typical Ying Yang Twins album; which isn't a good thing. It's probably the best of their five released albums, but as the rating would imply, that's not neccessarily a good bunch. The few moments of sincerity, and original ideas save this from one star territory, but I still wouldn't recommend this to anyone other than a female wanting to shake what her mama gave her.

Do my ears deceive me?.......2006-10-30

Standout tracks: LIVE AGAIN, GHETTO CLASSICS, 23HR LOCKDOWN, WAIT(creative for a ying yang song), THE WALK, BADD, PUT THAT THANG DOWN, SHAKE, MY BROTHER'S KEEPER etc. Filler: Long time(too churchy), F**k the ying yang twins(worst anti-hater record ever made),Pull my hair(GROSS plus thats not even a beat!), Bedroom Boom(softest f**k song ever made), Hoes and U.S.A. Bottom line: I cant lie to you I was never a fan of the ying yang twins. I always equated them to be hip hop's Beavis and Butthead but D-roc and Kaine stop being Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber for a brief moment and put together an okay effort. Songs like Live Again, Ghetto Classics and 23hr Lockdown have little gems in them which is kind of surprise because they have been playing the role of Pinky and the Brain since they first came in the game. Congratulations Ying Yang you've finally made a decent album. Dont f**k it up!

HAHA! A modern minstrel show indeed..........2006-08-14

Wow so in history class they told me because of its racist themes and such that minstrel shows are long gone but they obviously haven't heard THIS trash.

Sheesh, where do I even begin? You thought Fiddy was bad? How about Chingy? Lil Jon? Nope, they're not nearly as bad as these wastes of flesh. These guys are a disgrace to the black race, Aaron McGruder is totally right (creator of the Boondocks) if Martin Luther King Jr. did somehow get resurrected he would definitely scoff at the state of Black America, perhaps it was a tad exaggerated but it still made an excellent point. Afterall it was Chris rock that said, "There are black people and there's n***ers!" Then everyone in the audience laughed their *sses off because it's true. Unfortunately these guys fall in the latter group.

Don't give me that rubbish on how it's just the music, no way folks, this goes far beyond the music itself. This is a reflection of the sad state our society is in. Ok people you want to talk about the actual MUSIC? We shall then, but these cliched annoying 'beats' lack so much substance that I'm just wasting text space talking about the 'music'. The lyrics? They bring new meaning to the word STUPID.

So there you have it, this logic pretty much applies to all their cds and anyone else like them (the aforementioned rap degenerates) they really take the cake for Retards of the Decade when we talk about "I Love the '00s" in 10 years. By the way check out the Boondocks, it's a great comic-turned-cartoon, it's very fresh and unique.

These young bucks don't know nuthin about REAL HIP HOP.......2004-10-22

I was looking at the reviews posted and I dont know what these people (kids) are talking about. I am a child of the 80's and I grew up listening to the songs on these albums. Every last one of the are bonafide hits-they rocked the parties I attended-and I still listen to them. Any real hip hop head would know not only the artists listed, (most of them have made songs that are considered classics) but they would also know the words to the songs. If you want a real education about real hip hop, buy this compilation. I didn't, because I already have all these songs, and most of them are on cassette-how about that. Don't let the other reviews deter you -these hits are timeless and were the hype before crunk and bling took over the culture.

Unknown DJ?.......2003-12-16

Grandmaster Flash an unknown DJ? That's why one reviewer slammed disc three. Jeez. Anyone who says that doesn't deserve to get to get to write a review about old school hip hop. Seriously. Do your homework. This mix is far from his best, but the fact that Flash mixed it makes this valuable to any fan of old school.
Man, I am still scratching my head. How does one of the most important pioneers of hip hop get relegated to the title of "unknown dj?" I think it is fascinating to see what were his favorite tracks, given that he more than likely influenced many of them.

Old-school hip-hop, which builds its sing-song raps atop samples of old funk and soul singles, may be on the way out, but in its twilight days it has yielded one more brilliant album, Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise. Coolio, the Compton rapper once known as Artis Ivey, creates tape loops of the catchiest sections from old songs by Smokey Robinson, the Isley Brothers, Billy Paul, and Herbie Hancock, and then raps his ghetto slice-of-life stories atop those loops. It's a familiar formula, but Coolio makes it fresh again, coming up with monologues strong enough to make us forget the original songs and get lost in his narratives. Moreover, Coolio drops his rhymes so they fall perfectly on the beats and even the melodies of the samples. --Geoffrey Himes

Nice, Fun 2nd Album by Coolio.......2007-06-22

Coolio came out again in 1995 with the hit "Gangsta's Paradise" on the Dangerous Minds soundtrack. He then released his second album taking the same name. This album has some special meaning for me. It was only the second rap album I bought ever. The album is a fun pop-mainstream-style album full of great production and beats, and some nice rhymes by Coolio. Beatwise, the album is full of that Cali G-Funk courtesy of "Wino," Vic C, and many lesser-known producers, way too many to list here. "Gangsta's Paradise" is obviously a hit, but there are many other classics here too. "Is This Me" is hella twangy feat. Rated R from Thug Life discussing the hold the streets take on people who get caught up in that life. Coolio shows some love and respect for the women on "For My Sistas." "Sumpin' New" is just a plain good time at the club over a bouncy P-Funk sampled type beat, as fun as "Fantastic Voyage" from 1994. "Get Up Get Down" features longtime homie WC and homegirl Malika. The beat is smooth and swingin. "The Revolution" is hot with a bouncy lowrider beat dealing with social issues. "Bright As The Sun" is a track where the imagery brings up a helicopter (ghetto bird) has its bright lights searching for him over a woozy, twangy beat. I love "Exercise Yo' Game" with Coolio trading spits with Kam, E-40, and 40 Thevz, which has an oddball, but phat beat. I love the hooter and licqor joint "Kinda High Kinda Drunk" with another odd but tight beat. Coolio has some positive messages in many tracks. He has fun, but he also can bring up some serious, often sad, imagery on tracks like "Geto Highlites" which is basically what it is, runs like a news report in parts of the songs. The album brings back memories of growing up for me. I see many hating on the album for being too pop, but I disagree, it is a nice album regardless.

Great CD but watch out for expurgated version.......2007-02-03

I bought a used copy of this CD. I thought it was very good except I got a version with all the "adult language" bleeped out! It was very frustrating and completely ruined most of the songs. I haven't listened to it since. Make sure you get the "Explicit Lyrics" version of this CD if you get it!

If it's sooooo good how come it's selling right now used for 1¢ ?.......2006-11-29

Because suckers by it, quickly get bored by it, then try to sell it.

Except there are more suckers than buyers.

Gangsta indeed. Only an idiot thinks gangsta's are good at making music.

OK the dumbos who disagree can now press the "not helpful" button, and the smart people can, at least, consider what I've written.

A pretty good rap album which sounds unfortunately cheesy in spots - rap fans will still like it.......2006-01-16

Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise" is most well-known for having the hit single of the same name, and even though that's obviously the best track here, the rest of it holds up pretty well. Some of the songs are bad, yes (see "Kinda High Kinda Drunk"), but there's enough good and decent ones here to warrant a "4" star rating (the amount of songs here help things out, too). Coolio is indeed one of the most unique rappers in the business - at least when it comes to his voice. I admittedly don't have a great amount of knowledge in terms of MCs, but I still haven't heard anyone who sounds like Coolio. While his voice and delivery are pretty good, it unfortunately sounds a bit pop-oriented when the lyrics are discussing the gangster life (again, see the title track). This isn't a horrible problem, but it's noticable - he doesn't quite seem to fit in with what he's rapping about. Musically the album is pretty much based on Dr. Dre's g-funk sound, and the production is pretty good, if not a little dated sounding - I don't think it'll cause any problems. Basically, if you like rap or if you liked his hit "Gangsta's Paradise" and wanted to hear more Coolio songs then "Gangsta's Paradise" will satisfy you, just not greatly. Recommended.

Highlights include:
"That's How It Is"
"Gangsta's Paradise"
"A Thing Goin' On"
the rest are mostly good or decent

Cruisin' 2 Coolio's Funk!.......2005-11-09

As a child, Coolio was a B.G. LocC from Compton, CA. Although Coolio ran with the Compton Loccs, Coolio had troubles fitting in with his school mates, and at the age of 17 Coolio got into the Crack-Cocaine game. Although Coolio may not of been as sucessful as Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre or Snoop Doggy Dogg, Coolio's 1996 album Gangsta's Paradice is a West Coast Highlight. Best hit defiently is the hit song Gangsta's Paradice, though another song that should of been a hit is Cruisin'. Sumpin' New is another good hit by Coolio, and a good House Party song is Kinda High Kinda Drunk.

Hottest Album of MTV Party To Go.......2007-02-21

This Album is the HOTTEST of all the rest of MTV Party To Go Vol 1 through 2002. This Album is a worth to buy!!

Cool, But Could Be A Little Better.......1999-05-31

This album is real hot, but I think if it had one more good song it'd be one of the best. The best songs are the B.I.G. song, Method Man's, Skee-Lo's (Remember that one?), Naughty By Nature, Corona's, Bone Thugs, Coolio and Shaggy. Nice and upbeat, which is somethin thats missing today in hip hop music. Too much depressing stuff like DMX.

Average customer rating: Great album but... want to have a party without skipping slow bad songs? tada! Good enuff to party on even now. Great verity of bands.

Great album but..........2007-02-21

I am a huge fan of Madonna since 1994 when I first saw Secret, Human Nature, Bedtime Story and Take A Bow video on MTV and VH1 and I had to buy Bedtime Stories album but the point is about Human Nature and when I saw this album of Human Nature by Madonna and I said to myself: what does it sound like by Howie Tee Remix??? is it compare to the regular one like Bedtime Stories album?? I didnt know until I borrowed a friend of mine that has Maxi-Single CD of Human Nature and I listened to Howie Tee Remix and the beat seem to be alittle slow for this album tho. The Bedtime Stories had the fast beat but I wish this album should have pick out the hot fast beat like I'm Not Your Bitch Mix or Runaway Remix or just something like that. It will be great for this album but hey thats my opinion. Maybe I am not used to listen to Howie Tee Remix who knows but I do know the Howie Tee Remix is pretty slow for this album anyways but the reason I rate this 5 stars because Human Nature is my favorite song and I love Short Short Man by 20 fingers and also when I first heard "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy and Monica and I didnt even realized there's a Brandy in this album as well!! I am glad I bought this album!! the 3rd person right below me I have a message for you: yes the MTV Party To Go has couple of Madonna songs. The first one was on MTV Party To Go Vol. 3 "Deeper And Deeper" and this one "Human Nature" and the Platform "Express Yourself". So far MTV Party To Go only has 3 songs of Madonna's.

want to have a party without skipping slow bad songs? tada!.......2001-10-06

i love this cd! as the first reviewer said, this is really good. i love all of the songs so much that i take this cd to every party or far place we go, even vegas! my favorite track must be HUMAN NATURE because madonna rocks and it has been a long time since her last single was used on a party to go. i think she had 1 song on part 2 or 3. anyway..i also love this is how we do it and freek like me and everything else. my 3 faves are this is how we do it, human nature and freek like me. this volume(#7) and volume 9 and p2go 2000 are the three best 1s. get this 1 now!

Good enuff to party on even now........2000-01-25

As I remembered when this came out, I was surprised. This is actually one of the better MTV Party to go mixes: all the jams flow really nicely and like the reviewer below said there's a real good variety of songs like the "Human Nature" Madonna remix, and the freakapella "Freak'N You", Biggie and Total, a nice Boyz II Men acapella...actually they coulda done widdout "Short, Short Men", but you can program your player to skip over that one....plus it has a good beat ya can dance to, Mr. Clark. Get it from Amazon.

Great verity of bands........1999-10-25

Loved every song on this album.I really loved the Montel Jordon! He is way sexy.Everyone should go out and by this album right now!!It's that good.

Ok.......2007-05-12

This CD is ok. I only purchased it for the intro and the first two songs on the track. Love the beat for those.

Back in Day!!!.......2004-11-11

This cd reminds me about my early high scool days!!! I played this tape religiously, even my mom started to like it....It is one of those albums that came out at the right time during the right year. He is not no lyricist, the beats are not the best ever made but the album just clicks...

Songs like word to tha d, jiggaboo pie, vertical joyride, and one of the top singles ever made in my opinion B**ch betta have my money make this album a hard to find classic..hell i still have the original white tape and i bought it on CD....Hotep!!

Decent debut album - 3.5 stars.......2004-11-03

AMG comes with his extra funky jazzed up hyped beats & one dirty mouth, most of the songs on here are about sex (that goes along with being a buddy of DJ Quik). The album is decent but he says some lines that'll make you laugh til you cry. It has a few good songs but most are decent at best. The beats are tight though. Features 2nd II None (KK & D), & Boss.

One of the Best Ever.......2004-05-19

I grew up in the golden age of rap (1986-1993) and can say with all honesty this is one of the best from the era. Some of you new rap listeners may not get it since you grew up on Puffy and other MTV crap (which has destroyed music as we know it). The only beef is too many skits. I just want those fresh beats and fast rhymin. This is definitely up there with Straight Outta Compton.

Poor AMG, he had it all and threw it away. At least he put his mark on rap music. Good work AMG! and that value meal is to go.

Straight Nasty.......2003-02-02

I was 12 years old and in the seventh grade when this album came out knowing damn well I shouldn't have been listening to it. The beats on here are banging for real(my old walkman headphones never did do the bass justice), and the lyrics are straight nasty though well delivered. Honestly, the blunt sexual nature of this album is of course what makes it a classic. I'm not really sure if I like this record because it's good or out of sentimentality, but it's 11 years later and I'm still diggin' it. Title track, Vertical Joyride, and Tha Booty Up are probably the most recognizable tracks, but if you've heard those you've probably heard the rest because you know this didn't get much radio play. Damn, if my momma had have known what I was really listening to in the backseat...

Party Album!.......2001-03-25

At this point in time, the MTV Party To Go Series were essentially all hip-hop. The album has many of hits around the 1993-1994 music scene. The album opens with Tony Toni Tone's song Anniversary, which is mellower than many songs on the album. After the first song it matures to include hard hitting rap songs by Dr.Dre, Onyx and 2Pac, while also harboring the more mainstream appealing Boom Shake The Room by Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince (Now known as Will Smith) and Informer by Snow. Pretty quickly after that the album goes completely funky. K7 performs Come Baby Come which is an awesome song even if it's on the weird side. Of course it wouldn't be an MTV Party To Go if it didn't include some super classics, so we get Whoomp There It Is by the Tag Team and the famous What Is Love by Haddaway (Night at the Roxbury anyone?). Closing out the album is the CDs worst track, Weak by SWV, and one of my faves Knockin' Da Boots by H-Town. If you like collecting party CDs, this one needs to be in your collection. It's worth the money even now!

it aint tyte, but its aight.......2000-01-16

most of the song son this cd are bumpin! especially anniversary, knockin' da boots and slam. but i have heard from most people that they didnt like the remix of weak. i really didnt like it either, becuase it messed up the chorus part. but this cd is good for a little get together, maybe a small party.
