Having long since shed their image as hip-hop's clown princes, the Beastie Boys now bring what feels like their emeritus recording, a celebratory instrumental memoir of all of the influences (except punk) that brought them to their secure place among hip-hop's fickle elite. The party opens with the aptly titled "B for My Name," its plodding bounce staking claim to the mid-tempo path the album treads almost throughout. "14th St. Break" picks up the pace, especially in the auxiliary percussion breakdown, complete with rally whistle. Then, beginning with "Suco de Tangerina," the album drops into a deep groove cut from dub- and dancehall-tinged ostinati that carry through a full third of its tracks. Among these, "The Gala Event" suffers from a lack of developmental motion that characterizes many of these tracks, but highlights still abound. "Off the Grid," for example, departs from the otherwise unbreakable chill and rips the proceedings wide open, blooming again and again in a series of pulsing riffs that celebrate the very institution of the instrumental groove. More than 20 years since Licensed to Ill took a long, irreverent piss into the mainstream, it seems you can still fight for your right to party. --Jason Kirk

The Mix-Up is Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals. Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.

5 out of 5 stars the beastie boys have done it again.......2007-07-30

a lot of people are basing this album on from their prevous popular albums like check your head, hello nasty (my favorite), 5 boroughs, ect. but there are a lot of ignorant people out there and dont realize that they have already made an album with just instruments called the in sound from the way out. and it was excellent and so was this album. put it on and just sit back and chill to it. the beastie boys do a great job mixing it up, which is one of the reasons why i love the beastie boys and one of the reasons why they are my all time favorite! its all about the music, a good band can make music with lyrics but a great group can produce music without lyrics. this album has been everything i have asked for, if you loved anything from the beastie boys, im sure you will love this. i know i did!

2 out of 5 stars Skip it.......2007-07-30

I would say if you are new to the band you might find this appealing. For me it was not the same as past musical experiences I had in listening to albums of the past, including several that came after the famous "Licensed to Ill" which I have heard is one of Capitol Records all-time best selling albums. This CD left me frustrated as I did not feel there was very much creativity at all. As they say; "to each his own" but I personally felt this CD was a letdown.

1 out of 5 stars Poor.......2007-07-28

Picked this up, was so excited, first song...all insturmental...i was like ya cool, i dig, then next song...no lyrics, all the way through the 12 tracks. very dissapointed, sure the mysic is good, but thats not what makes the beastie boys the beastie boys. if you are eager to listen then give the sample on amazon a quick listen, chances are that is all you will need

4 out of 5 stars Chill Background.......2007-07-27

The Beasties are always giving the people what they want. They may not know they want it but after you get it, you realize you needed it. This is one of those records. It's not anything ground-breaking but it is just what you'd expect form an all instrumental (that's right, no lyrics) record from them. This record is great to chill to or have on the background of any get-together. It takes you right back to the instrumental songs of Check Your Head and Ill Communication records but is totally all brand new music. Nothing here appears on their The In Sound From The Way Out Album but it is similar in it's construction. I enjoyed The Mix-Up and I hope you do too.

2 out of 5 stars Dreck.......2007-07-26

This ferkachte CD is barely worth the plastic it was printed on. How the Beastie Boys could have gone from the heights of Check Your Head and Ill Communication, and the ensuing instrumental mashup masterpiece The In Sound From Way Out, to this limp, soulless, grooveless piece of dreck is beyond me. Seriously, take it from one schmegege to another, you will not be kvelling when you listen to this.

Product Description

Lynching is a word synonymous with murder. Staten Island s NYOIL, tired of seeing the metaphorical death in the eyes of shorties around his block, decided to fight back by spittin truth. Voicing his frustrations through his edutainment style of MCing brought forth the October 2006 release of NYOIL s (pronounced N.Y. Oil) self-produced single Ya ll Should All Get Lynched.

Album Description

This album features the song "You Should All Get Lynched," which is being featured in a new show on BET.

5 out of 5 stars Real hiphop in the making!.......2007-07-09

This dude just made history, nobody has ever made it like he has! the knowledge this man has is incredible, the production is deep and serious! it was about that time, we got a artist like NYOIL. if you want real hiphop, this is what you should get. its on point, its real, its intellectual stimulating, i dont know what to say. if people spread the word about this emcee, it will change the game forever! there's no doubt in my mind! this is the future! NYOIL is the future!

Go buy this album, if you enjoy real hiphop, and dont own this masterpiece. you're sleeping on a classic! 5 out of 5!

5 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2007-07-05

It's about time we hear the truth about all the negative images many rappers have shown the world about blacks causing us all to be stereotyped. I'm glad NYOIL made the song You're a Queen hailing the sisters. I hope this album gets as much publicity as it deserves. I look forward to buying future albums by NYOIL.

4 out of 5 stars Real Hip Hop.......2007-06-20

If you want a real hip hop album without someone talking about their rims, their guns, their hoes, and the amount of money they have then pick this album up. This album is a witty, deep, conscious album. I agree with his sentiments especially on the banger cut "Y'all should all get lynched". We have far too many rappers out their selling out their souls and this art form we call hip hop for money. This man seems to have integrity and a natural love for the music and his people.

5 out of 5 stars Don't sleep on this one!.......2007-06-11

For those who remember real hip hop at its finest, this joint is a true gem. It focuses on how hip hop itself is no longer treated as an art form. Most rappers have gotten very lazy with their delivery and NYOIL lets them know that. For those who don't know who Nyoil is, then google "Y'all Should all Get Lynched." He is the emcee who sparked contraversy for this video on You Tube. It was banned for its explict content of how history has portrayed African Americans, and has images of lynchings. But enough about the video, lets focus on the cd.

In the album, he has made some very good points on what's going on in the Black neighborhoods, and expresses that people should be accountable for their actions. He tackles the issue of selling drugs, and grapples with the mistreatment of Black Women (see"You're a Queen in the track listing). The cd shows that he is not only versatile in his flows, but he is also versatile in the choice of beats. Check out Purrrrfect beat, a smooth R&B track with a laid back type of flow with a catchy chours sung by Jeanine Wright. Then check out Hood TREASON,which has a quick bouncy almost rock like feel to it. This song made me want to grab something heavy, find a wack emcee and throw it at them, lol! Self Destrukkktion has a spacey beat to it with a clear message to offset it. It was definitely an earful and an eye opener. He also sneaks "A quick 16" on you, which is a spoken word piece. Here he flexes his poetic abilities to not only send a message to the audience, but he was also able to make them laugh in the process. There are a few spoken interludes mixed in, but unlike soooo many rap cd's these days, they don't detract from the whole album. The interludes were used as tools to prepare your mind to be introduced to the next song. They work seamlessly, and I felt like they helped contribute to the overall Nyoil experience.
For those who like real hip hop, go get the cd, or visit Nyoil's website (...) to get more info on who he is, and to listen to some of his tracks.

This cd is definitely a long awaited debut for not only myself, but for those who also felt that hip hop was truly dead. This cd is living proof that hip hop is still alive and kicking it. It's just that people are looking in the wrong places to find real hip hop. If artists like Nyoil continue to flourish with the help of their fans, then the average joe/jane will have no trouble finding real hip hop. After listening to this cd, I realized something:
Gill Scott Heron (RIP) was right. The Revolution Will Not be Telivised.

5 out of 5 stars Hip Hop is Alive!.......2007-05-25

From start to finish, this album is on point. The interludes remind me of PE, BDP, X-Clan...spit'n knowledge. Time is out for the Shuck'n and Jive'n. NYOIL keep gang'n

5 out of 5 stars The mixtape ma mixtape ma mixtape messiah.......2006-01-14

let me start off by saying,if you don't have it,get it. So lets everyone take a moment of silence for who,MIKE JONES,who,MIKE JONES,who,DIKE JONES,and what make it so bad,he damn near dedicated the whole first cd to him,(WHAT A FREIND).But all and all this is a 3cd set that you will bump over and over,just get ready for your boys to always won't to hold 1 of the cds.

5 out of 5 stars one of the BEST LYRICIST in the rap game.......2005-12-23

Chamillionaire! Man this guy goes hard, from slick freestyles to just jaw dropping rhymes that make you say "damn thats tight". I love chamillionaire's music ive been a fan of him since 99 and still to this day, i've listened to his music since we was just a youngin' comin up and now ive heard him mature in his game and really admire his work. If you aint heard of Chamillionaire then you MUST get this album its by far the BEST mixtape CD ive ever heard, if you doubt HOUSTON music and chopped and screwed music you WONT doubt this album trust me. Go out and get chamillionaires cd's, you wont be dissapointed, HOUSTON and TEXAS have a problem, we are putting our names on the map once in for all, its the TAKE OVER

5 out of 5 stars the best Chamillionaire.......2005-12-22

yeah, this is my personal favorite of Chamillionaire. 3 Cds that are off tha m-fing chayne. my mayne at his best. for those feelin cham check out 50/50 twin. He gonna blow big. Lyrically he dope and i gonna say this.....he even better than Cham.

5 out of 5 stars The Truth.......2005-11-07

I was a bit slow getting this mixtape due to not knowing how it'd be, but thanks to the reviews I read online and the constant 5 stars I've seen this album get, I ran to Best Buy to purchase the album. I have to tell you, this is by FAR one of the best albums/mixtapes I've ever heard. If you like an artist with a smooth flow, punchlines that will make you say "Damn he got at 'em" this album is definately for you. I've recommended it to a lot of cats, even Screwheads that don't have it yet. With over 60 songs in total between the 3 disk set, One standard album, a Chopped and Screwed version of the first album, and a Classic third album, it won't fall short of expectations. The -only- downside to this album is the constant skits throughout it. Some people like skits, and even though they are funny at times I'm the type of person that likes the material rather than the insults behind the scene. If you don't got it, get it.

5 out of 5 stars Rump shakin goodness.......2005-05-07

I like to dance and am very good at it. I know all the moves like the caterpillar, windmill and cabbage patch. I bought a New Kids on the Block how to dance video in Jr. high and learned the hottest moves. Cds to dance to do not get better than this. Can you start a CD with two stronger tracks than Informer and Ditty? By the end of these two tracks it's time to take a break and drink a zima with a cherry. I'm a man's man but how do you keep the energy after coming out of the box like that. Informer, say no mo daddy snow I gonna blay a licky boom boom now so say daddy ma snow i me gonna blame. That is deep and so true. He's only the best candian rapper with a jamaican accent ever. Throw that beat behind it and you're talking gold. Then Paperboy comes at you full force with the ditty. Back in I-City in the early 90s the boys were kicking it at the fieldhouse and when Ditty came on we had a planned dance that might as well have been a mating call because right away every girl in the club moved to our end of the building and wanted to buy us drinks. We picked hottays to take back to the dorms and turned it out into another party. We had this CD and we just kept the party going until John Knicely showed up and pooped on the floor. After that it smelled and we closed shop.

4 out of 5 stars Some of my favorite dance songs when I was in my 20's .......2005-03-18

This CD was released in 1994 and the songs are from the '91-'94 era. Back in those days, I was clubbing every weekend and enjoying many of these songs. Here is my track by track review:

1. Informer by Snow: Not something I ever remember dancing to at clubs, just remember it being all over the radio at the time and getting tired of hearing it.

2. Ditty by Paperboy: Same as Track 1, thankfully we get past these 2 tunes early and move on to the TRUE dance music.

3. Shoop by Salt n' Pepa: I love this song, however, the mix here is not the version I prefer.

4. More & More by Captain Hollywood Project: A great example of the euro-dance music to come out of Germany during this period. Not only a dance hit, but also went to #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.

5. I'm Gonna Get You by Bizarre Inc.: A fun and lively dance tune, and the mix between the previous track & this track is flawless.

6. The Key, The Secret by Urban Cookie Collective: Another lively, bouncy dance tune like Track 5. One of my favorites from my club days.

7. Give it Up by The Goodmen: Another great euro-dance tune that uses whistle blowing and drumline, which was very fashionable in dance music at the time.

8. Talkin About Love by BKS: I don't remember hearing this track "back in the day", but it is a good dance track none-the-less.

9. Supermodel by RuPaul: Gotta love Ru. He has had other good songs since this one, but none have been this fabulous.

10. No Limit by 2 Unlimited: Another sub-genre of dance music during this period, rave. My uptight cousin used to call this kind of music "communist music", but I loved bouncing up & down on the dance floor to this and 2 Unlimited's other hits.

11. Whoomp! There it Is by Tag Team: Ugh...the real dud of this CD.

12. Take me in Your Arms by Li'l Suzy: Another sub-genre, free-style. Free-style was winding down it's popularity and originality by this point, but a good song.

13. Happy by Legacy of Sound: Back to the bouncy, frantic sound heard on tracks 5 & 6. My #1 favorite track on this CD.

14. Forget me Nots by Ava Cherry: I don't remember hearing this remake of Patrice Rushen's classic at the clubs, and although it is good, it does not come near Patrice's excellent version.

15. Show me Love by Robin S: Diva vocals to blow you away. Went to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

16. Finally by CeCe Peniston: Another diva who had a string of hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including this one which also went to #5.

17. This is It by Dannii Minogue: Dannii never achieved the stateside success that her sister Kylie has, and this track explains why.

Yes, there are a few duds here and some songs that are just ok, but the awesome dance tracks ("Happy", "More & More", "I'm Gonna Get You", "The Key, The Secret", "Give it Up", "Show me Love", and "Finally") well make it worth buying.

5 out of 5 stars Classics from back in the day!.......2004-05-06

I still have lots of memories from many many years ago and this CD brings a lot of great memories of those days when dance music was at it's absolute best. "More and More" and "I'm Gonna Get You" are my dance anthems of my lifetime. A pity that dance music has almost completely collapsed ever since. :(((

5 out of 5 stars Excellent dance album!.......2004-04-15

This second entry in the awesome "Dance Mix USA" CD series is one of my favorites of them all. I can't say how it ranks with like the first, forth and sixth entries in the series but this second volume is just awesome to listen to and all of the songs still hold up well.

"Informer" by Snow is a sadly forgotten classic from the early 1990s and has a New Jack Swing and strong old school hip-hop rhythm and excellent melody, all of which are totally absent in today's rap music! I still enjoy this song a lot. "Ditty" by Paper Boy is a lot more urban and has excellent rhyming and great beats as well. Both of these songs were fun themes back in 1993 when they were popular as I was in a lot of tournaments around this time in my life and these songs hold a lot of memory for me. "Shoop" by Salt N Pepa is a risqué danceable hip-hop classic that was like the forerunner to what TLC would do very shortly afterwards. While not on the raunchy level of "Let's Talk About Sex", this song is indeed on the wild side if you ask me. "More and More" by Captain Hollywood is a dynamite classic. The song begins with electronic sound effects and a haunting ambient intro comes and then the song becomes a highly radiant techo-dance number with some macho rapping too. In a lot of ways, this was like the precursor to Real McCoy's "Another Night" that came in the mid to late 1990s as it has some of the dark undertones of that track. I love this song a lot. "I'm Gonna Get You" is another highly energetic and fun dance song with really excellent keyboards and frantic keyboard rhythm. "The Key The Secret" by Urban Cookie Collective is a somewhat strange dance track with few vocals and fun hip-hop rhythm. I'll continue this review later.

4 out of 5 stars Very interesting, it's a must if you like to party........2000-07-12

Just browse the song list and you will see what I'm talking about. Dance, Dance and Dance the night away!

After the long wait, Mix doesn't disapoint. This album is filled with great production, great lyrics from Mix and his signature sick, rugged flow. This album is near classic and doesn't really have any weak tracks on it. A definite in any rap collection.

5 out of 5 stars One Of The Better Rap CDs.......2006-02-28

Most people think "Baby Got Back" is the best song on this album, but i'm under the inpression it's one of the worst. Most the other songs have great flow, potent lyrics that are either wise or hilarious, and aren't halfway as annoying. I honestly bought this album for the song "Lcokjaw", which is probably my favorite song on the album. But all in all, a great alubm. I beleive it was money well spent.

5 out of 5 stars YEAH....I GOT THIS ONE TOO!!!!.......2005-12-26

More bangin A$$ Tracks from MIX-A-LOT!!! This MACK DADDY definitely deserves more recantation for sure!!! I agree with the other dude....MIX-A-LOT is a true pioneer to the hip-hop game!!

5 out of 5 stars Who can forget the #1 single in 1992- Baby Got Back.......2005-12-11

Back in 1992, Sir Mix-A-Lot topped the Hot 100 Singles chart with Baby Got Back and was on top of the rap singles chart. I never actually saw the video because of the controversy. Then again, the most controversial rap group in the 90s was without 2 Live Crew and the N.W.A. Now in 2005, it's hard to find a controversial rap artist unless you count Eminem. I'm sure he generated controversy for Stan.

Anyway, this one of the best rap albums from the 90s and I'm glad that I have original version. It's just too bad that I didn't get the cd.

An awesome album with two successful singles.

A two-hit wonder that deserved more recognition.

    5 out of 5 stars Sweet, and syrupy; just the way it should be........2006-10-12

    Chamillionaire and Paul Wall are two of the few emcees I like in the mainstream scene. It's not because they have anything truly provocative to say, but simply because they present their rap with so much flair and style, that it's impossible to overlook them. Chamillionaire has gone a more lyrical route, while Paul Wall is continuing the subject matter that the Screwed Up Click made famous in the underground in the mid-nineties. On this release, it's easy to tell both men were brought up listening to Screw's music, much like the rest of the Houston scene, and they use the perfect mix of harmonizing flows about 'Lacs and grills, over trippy, and hypnotic beats.

    While it's true that Paul nor Chamillionaire are profound lyricists, dropping GZA knowledge on this release, they are both damn good rappers, able to flip sweet punchlines galore. Clever metaphores abound throughout this album, while Chamillionaire sings the hooks in each song. I know Cham gets some flack for singing the hooks in his songs, and has even be labeled "50 Cent Jr." by some people because of it, but for the Chamillionaire detractors, face it; Chamillionaire has a slick voice, and is one of the few rappers who SHOULD handle his own hooks(the only other I can think of is Cee-Lo, and, well, he's made a career out of crooning now).


    The Swishahouse crew handle production duties, and as one would expect, that's a good thing. It's hard to get an album sounding this authentic to the Houston sound Screw crafted over a decade ago, but 4 years ago, Swishahouse brought it; and they're still bringing the tight production today. These aren't songs to 'get crunk' to; these are songs to chill to. This is an ideal album to listen to whether you're taking a late night drive, or simply chilling out in your home with your headphones on. Calm, cool, and downright dope, the production on this album matches the charismatic duo perfectly.

    If you're a fan of the H-Town sound, then this is perfect for you. Even if you're not, it's still incredibly difficult not to love this release. If you can find it, pick it up. Highly recommended.

    4 out of 5 stars Still N Luv Wit My $$$.......2006-02-12

    I had just moved back to Houston from Seattle when this LP dropped and was in heavy radio-rotation around H-Town. Being away from the South for so long actually made me come back with a greater appreciation for Southern hip hop and the H-Town sound.

    This probably isn't the album 4 you if you're looking for a Nas' "Illmatic," Jay-Z "Reasonable Doubt" or Wu-Tang "36 Chambers" type of album -- lyrical masterpieces.

    That's not to hate on Paul and Cham b/c they got somethin' 2 say.

    This is definitely an album you can ride 2 ... N Luv With My Money is still one of my favorites.

    It's really too bad Paul and Cham fell out after this album though I'm not sure I'd even want them to try to top this LP if they got right again.

    Fun, fun, fun hip hop album. Recommended for those who like to chill, have a good time and ride to some highly entertaining hiphop music.

    4 out of 5 stars Worthwhile.......2006-02-08

    I enjoyed this CD quite a bit. The production is pretty good, while both rappers do show some nice lyricism throughout the CD. In my opinion does a better job than Paul Wall, but that's just me. Either way, this CD is worth buying.

    1 out of 5 stars weak !.......2006-01-05

    anybody who likes chamillionare is trippin'. his flows are weak and his lyrics are weaker. come on "bullet proof vest on my chest so i won't get shot by cupid". is he still in kindergarten cause his flows sound like he's on a playground. paul wall is ok but he should stick to his day job makin' grillz. chamillionare needs to take his iced chain and melt it into a pacifier cause he's still an infant in da game.

    5 out of 5 stars The Only Good Album With Paul Wall.......2005-11-06

    Ladies and Gentleman....... Koopa is the King..... This album I have owned for a number of years and is still my favorite Chamillionaire album ever... This is such a good album even Paul Wall was good... In case you dont already know this album unlike Controversy Sells was approved by Chamillion and Paul Wall... This is not a garbage thrown together album like Controversy Sells and if you have never heard a Chamillion album this should definetly be your first and if you have never heard a Paul Wall album then you should only buy this one cause all the others with exceptions for The Color Changin Click albums is Boo-Boo... I knew it 5 years ago I still know it today when the Sound Of Revenge drops the sky is the limit for the Color Changin Reptile... Dyke Jones Phoney

    Strip away the photo of Barbie as Britney wannabe on the cover and extend the track list with a few hard-rocking, boy-skewed songs, and what you're left with here is yet another installment of the irritating but phenomenally popular Kidz Bop series. Harshly put, Hit Mix is a knockoff. On it you will find an identical-sounding chorus of kids crooning slowed-down versions of top-10ers, the main difference being that the Rhino/Mattel offering is more amenable to listeners whose main objective is finding music they can march their dolls along to in mock fashion shows (or hold make-believe Ken, Barbie, and Midge concerts to, or stage all night boogie-fests for their anatomically incorrect heroes to). Bottom line: If your 4- to 8-year-old gets as much of a rise out of Jessica Simpson as she does her Barbie Townhouse, or if she's a kid who "bopz" shamelessly, her hopes, but probably not yours, have been answered with Hit Mix. --Tammy La Gorce

    4 out of 5 stars For what it is, it's not bad.......2005-03-02

    Like one other reviewer, I'm not sure what you guys were expecting. If you were expecting excellence, if you were expecting a CD that would be a favorite of yours, then that's your fault, not the CD producers' fault. This is a Barbie-themed item, so adults are obviously not the target market. Young girls are the audience for this CD. If you are not one of them, then you really don't have the right to speak on this. (And by the way, learn to spell, people. I can't possibly take you seriously when you use all lower-case and a gazillion exclamation points. If you want to spout venom, go do it on your chat boards somewhere else. We're looking for useful reviews here.)

    There. Now, on to the review. My daughter is 4 and is already all-girl. She digs the "diva" stuff, everything that glitters, furry telephones and all that jazz. I encourage her to branch out to other things, like sports and science, but this is how she is; this is her "groove." So I acquiesce at times, like the day I bought this CD for her. Know what? She loves it.

    Not to say that I am nuts about it, because I prefer Harry Connick Jr. and Sting and classic rock, and the local pop radio station is absolutely not on my car pre-sets. But I have heard so much worse. It's lots better than the Kidz Bop CD I bought a long time ago (and conveniently "lost" almost immediately afterward.) But again, I am not the target audience here; my daughter is.

    This is a CD that, while it's not exactly my taste, I can bear playing for her enjoyment now and then without wanting to run myself through with the nearest sharp object. At times the back-up little-girl singers are off-key, and there are a couple songs I always fast-forward through, but for what it is, it's really not bad. If your daughter likes this kind of thing, she'll like this CD, and it's easier for adults to bear than the Kidz Bop tracks that I've heard.

    1 out of 5 stars Please.......2004-09-20

    Barbie can't sing,come on all the songs sound so bad with that voice,atleast put the real voice so it would sound better.

    3 out of 5 stars pleasant mix of pop.......2004-07-17

    Reading the reviews submitted so far, I can only guess at what others might have expected from a CD with Barbie on the front cover. I listened to the CD on-line, which isn't the best quality, and I was impressed. It's pretty clear what the producers were aiming to create: a fun, somewhat ecletic collection of songs by female singers. A pre-teen version of the "Women of Song" collection.

    This CD is very easy to listen to, and while few of the songs will ever become "golden oldies", they are all well produced. As for the lyrics: yes, there are a few more gritty passages, mostly in the "teen angst" songs. Compared to many of the lyrics sung even on public radio, the songs on this album are mild.

    I'd recommend purchasing this CD, with the caveat that many people have hightly negative reactions to artists like Britteney and Christine.

    1 out of 5 stars Retarded cd.......2004-07-05

    this is a retarded, stupid, and hideous cd. don't waste ur money unless you like to cover your ears a lot. the little kids in the backround ruined the whole cd. THEY CAN'T SING! these songs were so forged! don't waste $14.99! what was mattel thinking?! it would better if you just bought all of the real cd's that were taken to put on this crappy cd. I didn't hear barbie in this cd either. wuts the point in that! the barbie on the cover is a bad role model. she scares me! she wears provocotive clothing! do u really want your kids to be like that! do you really want to hurt your kids ears at such a young age? kids don't even listen to these songs! they listen to barnie! when you think of barbie, you think ages 4-8. but do u really want your kids listening to lyrics like "shake it like a poloroid picture" and other mature lyrics?! bottom line...............DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT! DO IT FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR KIDS!

    1 out of 5 stars How stupid!.......2004-06-28

    Stinkish-I totally agree with you 100%!!!! What was mattel thinking when they released this item? Some songs are ok, but "Hit me baby one more time?" That song is soooo old! And so yesterday, by lip singer, Hilary Duff, is sooooo yesterday!!!! You gotta be desperate for music to actually buy this or want it.If you think that i am way wrong then include me in your review.

    Who better to take the traditionally underground art of DJ mix tapes aboveground than Funkmaster Flex, New York City's mainstream hip-hop radio hero? This album is the quintessential hip-hop party album, ripe with ear candy. Talk back to call-and-response tracks from DJ Kool, Frankie Cutlass, and Doug E. Fresh. Remember when with classic hooks from Run DMC, Marley Marl, Special Ed, and the king of all mix-tape loops, Mark the 45 King. Bounce your head to drop-in freestyle raps from hip-hop's biggest East Coast names (Method Man, Erick Sermon, Q-Tip, and Lauryn Hill, among others). If you can stomach Flex's own persistent presence--he self-promotes on Mix Tape, Volume 1 almost as much as he does on his late-night radio show--you will appreciate this shrink-wrapped, extended party jam. --Todd Levin

    1 out of 5 stars What a mess!.......2007-01-04

    How do you tell the beginning and end of a song? What's the message? What are the lyrics? Who knows where the melody and harmony is, and what's left is drowned out by the rhythm. What's worse, many of the artists sound alike. Guys, shouting "Puerto Rico!" over and over isn't music.

    I'll stick to Black Eyed Peas or Alicia Keys, thanks.

    4 out of 5 stars Before Flex Went Corporate {4 Stars}.......2006-07-26

    The reviewer below me doesn't seem to know as much about hip hop as he'd like to think. First of all, comparing Flex to JMJ is like comparing Kool Moe Dee to KRS One -- while they both might be good, there's really no contest. They came up in different ages anyway. Also, this album was released on Loud/RCA, not Def Jam

    Anyway, back to the album. In actuality, it's 70 minutes of funk, but who's counting, right? It's a mixtape, so I guess what determines how good the album is are the songs chosen, the cuts and scratches, and the freestyles. All of which are tight on this joint. On top of that, you have interesting collaborations like Sadat X and Akinyele on "Loud Hangover" and the Fat Joe/Big Pun freestyles and Mobb Deep instrumentals.

    My only beef with the album is the drop off toward the end. The Kaotic Styles freestyle is boring. Things just aren't as exciting or creative as the beginning or middle of the album, but that kind of thing is kept to a minimum. Outside of that, things move along nice and steady.

    If you want a taste of Funkmaster Flex before he went corporate and started dropping the blinged out mixtapes, then check this joint. He's nice behind the wheels and this album is the perfect showcase for his skills. He'd go on to drop a few more in the series, but he'd never top this CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Much better than The Tunnel, this mixtape has good beats.......2001-03-10

    Funkmaster Flex's first mix tape is much better than his later ones. The beats are great. Method Man, Redman, Fugees, Mobb Deep, you name it some of the biggest hip hop groups are featured on here. The beats on this album are excellent. This is definetly a must have for any fan of Flex or rap.
