Customer Reviews:

Good compilation.......2004-10-10

I really am just writing this to clarify that the song titled "Whatcha Gonna Do?" (#12) that is listed as DMX is NOT DMX... any hip hop fan can tell you that this is Jayo Felony. How that got confused, I have no idea. That being said, this is a good compilation for starting with late 90's hip hop.

Top Hits of '98!.......2001-02-19

This compilation features hip hop hits that climbed the charts in 1998. This album starts you off with a Latino hit called "Still Not a Player" by Big Punisher (R.I.P.). Which was everyone's jam. "Money Ain't a Thing" by Jermaine Dupri feat. Jay-Z which is featured on both JD's & Jay-Z's album. Next there's the L.O.X.'s best song they ever made called "Money, Power, Respect" featuring DMX & Lil' Kim, tight beat. "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" by Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz has gotten so much airplay. Maybe it's their best song too. Track 5 is 2Pac's "love song" called "Do For Love". E-40 has A LOT of slow songs and "Hope I Don't Go Back" is one of them. But it's a nice joint. The next track will get you pumped-up from those last 2 songs, it's called "Party ain't a Party" by Queen Pen w/ Markell Riley, Mr. Cheeks, Nutta Butta, & Freaky Tah. Busta Rhymes will make you "Turn it up" on the next track. "Get At Me Dog" is DMX's first single with a tight beat. (which feature's Sheek of The L.O.X.) I'm not hatin', but Snoog Dogg sounds weak on this good song called "Still a G Thing"; a sequel to "Nuttin but a G Thing". The 2nd verse of the hook in "It's Alright are not for lil' kids ears. "It's NOT Alright" Ya heard? Then there's the most pumped-up song on the compilation called "Watcha Gonna Do". This song is tight! You'll be boppin' heads to this one. Tracks 13-18 are the weak tracks except #14; it's "N.O.R.E." by Noreaga, which should'eve been put with the good tracks (#1-12). Overall, I gave this CD 4 stars cause of tracks 13, 15-18. If you loved the rap music of '98, this one's for you.

Great Mix Of Hip Hop From 1998!.......2000-04-24

This album features some of 1998's tightest hip-hop tracks! The best songs are Still Not A Player, Deja Vu, Do For Luv, Horse & Carriage, NORE, Get At Me Dog, Whatcha Gonna Do, Still A G Thang, and I Got The Hook-Up! Buy this album today!

weak.......1999-11-08

people need to get the message and realize that commercial rap is not benificial to hiphop culture. these songs are weak, don't purchase it unless you're buying for someone you hate...

This Mix is hella tight!!!!!!.......1999-03-08

This cd's got some of the fattest drops of the whole year. Now you don't have to by an artist whole album to get the single!!!!!!!!Busta, Snoop, Lox, DMX, they're all here. Hella tight!!!!!!

Amazon.com

This compilation is packed tighter with hits than hoochies in front of the stage at a Cash Money concert. Which makes sense because tastemaking mag The Source enforces hip-hop's chart hegemony through its corporate-controlled coverage--with one notable exception: the Made Men. This Boston-based crew are old pals of David Mays (The Source's publisher) and have been shamelessly supported by said mag for years in spite of their minimal talent. Nepotism, anyone? Fortunately, they don't seem to be getting anywhere, except onto this compilation. Aside from their suspicious inclusion, all the usual Billboard suspects are here, from agitated one-note barker DMX to whiny whitey Eminem. Guilty pleasures like Shyne's incriminating "Bad Boyz" and the Three 6 Mafia's neo-Funky Cold Medina "Sippin' on Some Syrup" share space with two (count 'em) decent tracks: Common's "The Light" and De La Soul's "Oooh." --Cristina Restrepo

Customer Reviews:

Year 2000 was a great year for hip hop.......2006-03-06

This compilation is probably the best. It has a mix of party'in, conscious, and gangsta rap. This album is for everybody. The only track i don't feel is Nelly, I just don't like him period. But other than that these are some of the best tracks of 2000. Others should have made it, but for the most part this a satisfying album.

The New Millenium Of Hip-Hop.......2005-03-31

This was IT: the Golden Age of The Source's "Hip Hop Hits" CDs. This album shows what The Source was before Benzino took over, and drove it straight into the ground. Terrific artists like Eminem and Common, who are passed over on recent albums because of Benzino's feuds, are presented here in top form. Hip-Hop had grown exponentialy by the year 2000; into a dominant force of the music industry. This was and the breakout year; and the biggest AND best hip-hop songs from 2000 are all summed up on this masterpiece.
(1) Nelly "Country Grammar (Hot...)" A. Not only was this Nelly's wonderous debut single, but it was also opened the door for evry "Mid-west rapper". The sound, flow and lyrics are like nothing we've ever heard before and that's what most rap is lacking. Even the chorus, with it's R&B sample, sounds new and refreshing. This is a catchy, light and highly entertaining debut.
(2) Common "The Light" A. Common is hands diwn a true MC. Just like Bone Thugz-N-Harmony and 2Pac, he is able to create rap with message and purpose, yet keep his street credentaials as well. Those who thing all hip-hop is negative should listen to this intelligent rap about how to make a reationship work. A light and refreshing breeze for the genre.
(3) DMX "Party Up (Up In Here)" A-. Everything about this song just plain works. THe beat is menacing, the lyrics are hardcore through out and DMX's flow never steps wrong. DMX may have developed a formula for his music, but it's hard to complian when it works so well. Put this next to "What's My Name" and "Fame", and it's clear to seehow unique his music is.
(4) 504 Boyz "Wobble, Wobble" B-. "Collective rap groups" (i.e. Westside Connection, Cool Breeze) can be very good if the artists mend well. The 504 Boyz though, never quite come together as a group; they all seem to be doing their own thing, and aren't very remarkable as individuals. "Wobble, Wobble" is fun and catchy, but doesn't really stick to memory afterwards.
(5) Shyne feat. Barrington Levy "Bad Boyz" B. To put it simply; Shyne is not a quite ground-breaking rapper, nothing to break the mold. His voice, although somewhat intriging, doesn't really have much of an impact. Yet this song works because of the haunting beat and some interesting vocals from Barrington Levy. Not great, but well worth a listen.
(6) Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg "The Next Episode" A. A perfect example of what "gangsta rap" is really about. The lyricvs are tough and explicit, yet the track is really two rappers having a good time. Brief and catchy; this song makes no intention to have depth, as it provides a showcase for two great rappers at the top of there game.
(7) Big Pun "It's So Hard" B+. Not great work by the late, great Big Pun; but still a very well made track. His voice was one of a kind (despit similarities to "Biggie") and the latin beats could always get the body moving. Although more original material would have been nicer, he still does a good job of personalizing it. Strange that Donell Jones doesn't get top billing; he does the entire chorus.
(8) Trick Daddy feat. Deuce Poppito of 24 Karatz, Trina and Co of the Tre+6 "Shut Up" B-. It's kinda nice the way Trick Daddy ventures into the dance genre, but he doesn't have new material to bring with him. "Shut Up", while catchy (the University Of Florida's marching band sampled it), has no real purpose to it. Fun and glitz on the surface is fine, yet there's nothing at all beneath it.
(9) LL Cool J "Imagine That" A. 15 years into the "rap game", and he still sounds as good as ever. Only LL Cool J can take the most explicit content, and make it sound reaxed ands bouncy. This track is like his "Phenomenon"; a thuggish rap all set to a terrific beat with slick, polished production (by Rockwilder). He may possibly be (as he calls himself) "The Greatest Of All Time".
(10) Eminem "The Real Slim Shady" A+. Here's an artist who always does his own thing and stands out from the crowd. This is a hands-down brilliant rap song with umapologetic, biting, hilarious lyrics that carry a bold message. There will never be another Eminem, and that's a relief. "The Real Slim Shady" is THE best song of 2000, and the still young millenium.
(11) Big Tymers "#1 Stunna" A. The Cash Money Label catupulted to stardom in 1999, but have been very hit or misss since. This is one there best hits; Mannie Fresh's cool beat combines with the perfect flowing lyrics to create a highly enjoyable rap song. Hand's down one of the best works from Big Tymers, Mannie Fresh and Cash Money.
(12) De La Soul feat. Redman "Oooh" A-. Always refreshing to hear an old artist come back on top. De La Soul helped bring rap into the mainstream with "Me, Myself and I" (1989), and bring back that same flavor, over a decade later. The song is a demonstration of what hip-hop is truly about. Redman, of course, adds some flavor to this great "throwback track".
(13) Made Men feat. Twice Thou, Benzino and Mr. Gzus "Holla Back (Holla Boston)" A-. I normally deplore anything from Benzino's posse (Made Men, Untouchables, himself), yet I found this to be highly entertaining. It succeeds mainly due to Hangmen 3's stormin' beat, and non-stop menacing lyrics. No depth to it, but it is definetly gret entertaining. And, no, Boston is not a great place for hip-hop.
(14) Three-6-Mafia feat. UGK and Project Pat "Sippin' On Some Syrup" B-. This isn't one of the stonger tracks on the album; it bring nothing new to the genre and has no meaning at all. Yet the beat is so mesmerizing, and sorta quirky, that the song sticks to memory and becomes very catchy.
(15) Lil' Kim "No Matter What They Say" A-. Female rappers often have a difficult time establishing themselves in the rap world; such is not the case with Lil' Kim. This track presents her a tough, smart thuggish rapper who just as hardcore as the guys. Her flow keeps a consitant fast pace, and her voice has a certain appeal to it. This is what female rap should be.
(16) Method Man/Redman "Y.O.U." B. Compared to Method Man's solo work on "Break Ups 2 Make Ups", this is a pretty lackluster track. It not bad, it just doesn't have trhe flow and quality we expect from Meth and Red; although A Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation" is used very well. Not a bad song, but underwhelming compared to "Tear It Off" and "Da Rockwilder" (both from the "Blackout" LP as well).
(17) Da Brat feat. Tyrese "What'chu Like" B+. Da Brat is not a blindingly talented female rapper (especially when compared to Lil' Kim and Eve), but this song works. That can mainly be attributed to Tyrese's catchy chorus and Jermaine Dupri's slick production. Not groundbreaking by any means, but good fun.
Bottom Line: ****. A perfect example of what a rap compilation SHOULD be. The "Hip Hop Hits" albums started out shaky, and gradually got better before hitting rock bottom. This was the the series peak. There is not a single song here that wasn't a hit, and every track has some entertainment value. THE BEST raps of 2000 are ALL collected on this. I can not think of a better album to represent the phenomenal power of hip-hop at the dawn of the millenium.

Great Complilation.......2004-04-23

The Source's Fourth volume is very solid. You have some hardcore on this disc all the way to some light weights light Common. There have been source volumes where sometimes you want to skip a track, but not on this one, all these tracks are great. The source does a great job by connecting the songs together, always an extra point when they do that. Would have rather have seen a couple other tracks replace others, but no compilation is perfect. Sill, a very good disc.

My top 5:
The Light - Common
Wobble Wobble - 504 boyz
Bad Boyz - Shyne & Barrington Levy
Ohh - De La Soul & Redman
Country Grammar - Nelly

Nice.......2002-06-15

The cd is real nice for a commercial rap fan like I am. I listened to it all the time before I got it stolen from me.

1. Country grammar- Nice song. Good 1st single by Nelly. It's a nice summer joint. Love the video. Keep doing what you doing Nelly.

2. The light- I love this song by Common. It really has a nice message. One of my favorites.

3. Party Up- One of my favorite DMX songs. My favorite line on the song was I lov my baby momma I never let her go.

4. Wobble Wobble- Me and my girl used to always be singing the chorus to this song.

5. Bad Boyz- Never really listened to this song.

6. The next Episode- Love this song Smoke weed everyday

7. It's so hard- Love this song by Big Pun. NIce beat

8. Shut Up.- Another song I like- Okay, wassup, uh-huh, SHUTUP!

9. Imagine that- One of my favorite songs. Explicit lyrics but I don't care.

10. The real Slim Shady- I got burnt out on this song.

11. #1 stunna- Love the Big Tymers. Love this song and there new single Still Fly.

12. Ooh- I like De LA Soul. I like Redman. Nice Collabo. Also check out the song Baby Phat by De la Soul.

13. Holla BAck- Never listened to this song.

14. Sippin' on some syrup- I liked this song it was different but still a nice song.

15. No matter what they say- I like this song I like a lot of Lil Kim songs.

16. Y.O.U.- Never listened to this song suprised I didn't I love Meth.

17. What Cha' like- Most played song on this cd.

HOLLA

Great CD!.......2001-07-08

This is a great compilation CD to any rap collection. It features very well known rap artists. Several of these songs can be heard on many radio stations. It is a great collection of new artists as well as old ones. If you preview the songs I am sure you will agree.

Customer Reviews:

I can't believe I'm doing this..........2006-02-11

I don't hate rap, but this is ridiculous. If you see the Vol.8 of this series, there is a reviewer I like called Eggplant that talked about being a millionaire overnight off of making a hip-pop album, even if you don't have talent, which I agree 110% with. So here's a poem I wrote in its clean version. Enjoy.

Mike Jones, Paul Wall, and Lil Jon
They turned hip-hop into something gone wrong
We used to have Public Enemy and NWA
But since they left, Hip-hop turned g*y
Nelly, Chingy, and D4L,
If you like them, you should burn in h**l
Hip hop is now officially dead
So forget them and listen to AC/DC, Beatles, or Led.
Alice in Chains, Sublime, and Tool
Listen to them and you will be cool.
The genre's 15 minutes have already been up
But I'm not complaining - I don't give a f**k!!!

I know that was corny, but who cares?! If you give me a Helpful vote, then you like good music and know what you're doing. Please read the rest of my poems. Soon I'll create a user name for myself so that you can do it.

Oh, and to all of you Not Helpful votes, bring em on!!!!

Haters.......2005-08-12

Wow there are some serious haters up in here. You got one guy who rated the album a 1 star but when he brakes down the tracks he rated like 8 songs a 10/10 and only like 3 tracks got low ratings. So you saying you love just about every track but it's a 1 star? HATER! It's a great compilation alot of songs will get you amped up. Vol 9 was a little better though. Still better then any other Hip Hop Compilation out.

Hip Hop.......2005-08-09

I'm loving this album. My favorate album I've bought this year. Instead of going out and buying like 15 cd's you can buy this one and have alot of hit songs on one album. The tracklisting here is not the same as the album I bought at Best Buy. All these songs are on here but the order is different. One of the few albums I can just throw in and listen to every track from begining to end. If you love hip hop you will love this album.

Coulda been Better.......2005-08-08

This Source compilation had by far the worst selection of songs. At least they listened to my Source 9 review (I'm formerly known as Eminem Fan; long story) and but "Lean Back" on it, but could have used "Drop It Like It's Hot" and Lloyd Banks' "On Fire".

1. Trick Daddy feat. Lil' Jon and Twista - Let's Go - Good way to start a crappy soundtrack. I loved this song and played 100 times a day before MTV released the video, and I STILL love this song!!! 10/10
2. Pitbull - Dammit Man - That's what this song got me thinking; Dammit Man, That Sucked! Maybe if it had Culo or Toma. 6/10
3. Geto Boys - Yes Yes Ya'll - This is a good song, but was never a hit. They must be re-introduced to the public eye. 9/10
4. Lil' Wayne - Go DJ - awesome song! This joint got me into Lil' Wheezy. 10/10
5. Juvenile - Nolia Clap - This joint is also hot! If only Juvy was still in Cash Money; if he did songs with the current/improved Cash Money roster now, they would be all kinds of bangers. 9/10
6. Lil' Jon feat. Lil' Scrappy - What U Gon' Do - A crazy with ya boy, Lil' Jon; great pic for this album! 8.5/10
7. Alchemist feat. Mobb Deep - Hold U Down - not really feelin this joint; they made the right decisions going with 50 and Eminem. 5/10
8. Benzino - Wide Body - OMG! Another Benzino on The Source; his only good song is the Toy Soldiers-response song "Look Into My Eyes". 2/10
9. Fabolous - Breathe - great banger and a classic; F-A-B killed it on this one. 10/10
10. Fat Joe - Lean Back - YES! Thank God "Lean Back" is on there. It just had to be on a Source CD. 10/10
11. Trillville - Neva Eva - this song is so old! When I first saw the advertisement, I thought it would have "Some Cut"
12. Jim Jones - Certified Gangstas - This version sucks! IT IS NOT the video remix version featuring The Game; it's the version on his album. 3/10; if it was the one featuring The Game, 9/10
13. Ciara feat. Petey Pablo - Goodies - response to Petey's "Freek A Leek"; I loved Ciara until I found out that she was originally a man. 7.5/10
14. Petey Pablo - Vibrate - this song was never a hit; it's probably only on here because it's after "Goodies". But still a good song. 8/10
15. C-Murder feat. BG - this was not a hit either, and it sucks. Rappers who have been to jail do not put out great albums or singles; let's hope Tony Yayo's "Thoughts of a Predicate Felon" is an exception. 2/10
16. Benzino feat. Scarface - What's Really Hood - never got to this one; after track 11, I stop playing it. 0/10

This one can use a lot of work, and much better songs, such as:

1. 50 Cent - Candy Shop
2. Lloyd Banks - On fire
3. Tony Yayo feat. 50 Cent - So Seductive
4. The Game - Dreams
5. Olivia feat. Lloyd Banks - Twist It
(G-Unit should be on a Source compilation, and now for non G-Unit songs:)
1. T.I. - Bring Em Out
2. Ludacris - No. 1 Spot
3. Mike Jones - Back Then or Still Tippin'
4. Ying Yang Twins - Wait (Whisper In Your Ears)
5. Xzibit - Hey Now (Mean Muggin)
And so many more, like the ones I mentioned earlier. A list of recent good songs (and hits) can go on forever and can be better choices than 90% percent of the album tracks

Gwen Stefani? #1 song for God knows how long.......2005-07-29

I returned this...it's crap! It doesn't have Luda, Gwen Stefani, or even Em on it. Eamon's not on it either. Instead, they put stupid Fat Joe on here. Definitely don't buy this, it's terrible!

Aint nobody hatin, this cd is garbage.......2006-03-06

With the exception of Missy, and Lil kim track, this whole cd will make a great coaster at best. The only who can truly enjoy this album is someone who has a one track mind for partyin' only. This is no hip hop compilation. Straight dance to the fullest. Pop for the most part. And tracks of hits that i didn't even no was hits, by a rapper almost no one cares about. Even though I do like some of what he puts out but still, addin yourself on hits album just make people diss him more.

It was alright.......2005-04-04

This is not the best "The Source Hits" compilation, but it is not the worst, either. Just had a couple filler tracks.

1. Ludacris - Act A Fool - The cut from the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack. 9/10
2. Snoop Dogg feat. Pharrell - Beautiful - all right collabo; I thought "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "Let's Get Blown" were much better though. Also on Snoop Dogg's "Paid Tha Cost To Be Da Boss". 7/10
3. 2Pac feat. Anthony Hamilton - Thugz Mansion - great song, even better than the version with Nas. Also on 2Pac's "Better Dayz". 10/10
4. Nelly - Air Force Ones - a rap song about shoes; very catchy. Also on "Nellyville". 9/10
5. Lil' Kim feat. Mr. Cheeks - The Jump Off - another Neptunes-produced track on an album of The Source. Also on Lil' Kim's "La Bella Mafia". 9/10
6. Fabolous feat. Mike Shorey and Lil' Mo - Can't Let You Go - don't like Fabolous so I skip this song. Also on "Street Dreams". 2/10
7. Ray Benzino feat. Mario Winans - Rock The Party - don't like either of the artists, but this is a decent song. Also on Benzino's "Redemption". 8/10
8. DMX - Where the Hood At - great song, and it's too bad he retired. There is one extra verse in the song for those who only saw the version on MTV. Also on "Grand Champ". 10/10
9. Bone Crusher feat. Jadakiss, Cam'ron and Busta Rhymes - Never Scared (Remix) - great song; hotter than the normal version, where I only liked T.I.'s part. Also on Bone Crusher's "Attenchun". 9/10
10. David Banner feat. Lil' Flip - Like A Pimp - this song introduced David Banner to the world and helped spark the career of Lil' Flip. Also on David Banner's "Mississippi: The Album". 10/10
11. Ja Rule feat. Ashanti - Mesmerize - I could care less about this song. Also on Ja Rule's "The Last Temptation". 3/10
12. LL Cool J - Luv U Better - bangin joint; made a hot return that year. Also on "10". 10/10
13. Panjabi MC feat. Jay-Z - Beware (Remix) - this song is so bad that the remix does not even save it. 3.5/10
14. Missy Elliott - Work It - this song gets annoying after awhile. Also on "Under Construction". 1/10
15. Untouchables feat. Ray Benzino - Untouchable - another filler track to conclude the album; I listen to "Luv U Better" and then stop playing it. 2/10

This album could have used better songs than the ones that I gave low ratings to. Examples being:

1. Joe Budden - Pump It Up
2. Xzibit - Multiply (feat. Nate Dogg)
3. Jay-Z - Change Clothes
4. Cam'ron feat Juelz Santana - Hey Ma
5. Trick Daddy feat. Big Boi of Outkast - In Da Wind

Get it For Hamilton/2Pac's 'Mansion'...........2005-01-18

....but stick around for Missy's Work It, St Lunatik's Uhhhr Force Ones (it's hilarious), Luda, Snoop w/ Pharrell, and the much maligned Benzino(with Mario)--I never heard that cut til I got the CD. I am not a Lil Kim fan, but her Jump Off fits well with the rest of the cuts on the CD. Get it because you like sound, whether it's so-called 'old' or so-called 'new'. Music doesn't get old: you always hear something new or something you didn't notice in a tune.

HHH 7.......2004-12-19

1.Ludacris"Act A Fool" A- Truly not the best Luda could offer, but an awesome dance track with an insane beat.

2.Snoop Dogg feat. Pharrell and Uncle Charlie Wilson"Beautiful" B Ok, I guess Pharell didn't totally ruin the song, but he made it much worse.

3.2Pac feat. Anthony Hamilton"Thugz Mansion" A+ Anything with 2 Pac is awesome.

4.Nelly feat. Murphy Lee,Ali and Kyjuan"Air Force Ones" D- All Nelly does is talk about his shoes. Very annoying too. Also, a bit overrated.

5.Lil'Kim feat. Mr.Cheeks"The Jump Off" B+ Good track, but Magic Stick blows it to hell.

6.Fabolous feat. Lil'Mo and Mike Shorey"Can't Let You Go" A- A nice, soothing, and underrated track.

7.Benzino feat. Mario Winians"Rock The Party" F Benzino? On a rap CD? Not gonna work.

8.DMX"Where The Hood At" C- Not a very good track, especially for DMX.

9.Bone Crusher feat. Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes"Neva Scared" F Is this a joke? It's just yelling and screaming.

10.David Banner feat. Lil'Flip"Like A Pimp" B Good, but not the best he can offer.

11.Ja Rule feat. Ashanti"Mesmerize" A- Not as good as previous Ja Rule/Ashanti songs, but it's good.

12.LL Cool J"Luv U Better" F Not only is this song annoying, but it was never a hit.

13.Panjabi MC feat. Jay-Z"Beware...(Jay-Z Remix)" D+ Just more yelling.

14.Missy Elliot"Work It"A+ A crisp classic.

15.Untouchables feat. Benzino"Untouchable" F Boring Benzino? Why is he on this CD so much? So, he's the editor for the magazine. How does he think he can rap?

Overall Grade - C- This could of been mmmmmmmuuuuuuccccchhhh better. One of the weakest of the series, but not completely terrible.

Customer Reviews:

Vol. 5 comes correct .......2005-10-25

Cash money, Jadakiss, Xzibit, DMX, Trick D. and Snoop represented to the fullest. Stay away from vol. 2 and 4. 3 and 1 was alright to, but 5 presents "hip hop" like the title said.

HH5, good CD but a weak one in the series.......2004-12-19

1. We Right Here - DMX A+ An awesome song and one of my favs!

2. I'm A Thug - Trick Daddy C+ I don't like this song that much, and I don't like Trick Daddy much either.

3. I'm Real (Murder Remix) - Ja Rule Feat. Jennifer Lopez C+ Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Too bad the remix ruines it.

4. Let Me Blow Ya Mind - Eve Feat. Gwen Stefani A+ I love Eve and Gwen. Two great artists + A rockin' beat and great lyrics = good song

5. Area Codes - Ludacris feat. Nate Dogg B- One of my least favs of Luda, but still an ok listen.

6. Bad Boy For Life - P. Diddy, Black Rob and Mark Curry D- I hate this song. It has absolutely no point whatsoever!

7. Ride Wit Me - Nelly feat. City Spud A I love this song! Love it! Love it! Love it!

8. Purple Hills - D-12 B+ Don't like D12 much but I have to admit I like this song.

9. Bang Ta Dis - Benzino F No! Benzino can't rap!

10. Oh Yeah - Foxy Brown feat. Spragga Benz C+ It's an ok track. Don't like Foxy much.

11. Front 2 Back - Xzibit A+ Hot track!

12. Get UR Freak On - Missy "Misdemeanor" Elloitt A- Good, but don't overplay or it gets irritating.

13. Project Chick - Cash Money Millionaires feat. Big Tymers, Lil' Wayne & Juvenile D- same as #6

14. Put Ya Hands Up - Jadakiss B+ I'm not a big fan of Jadakiss, but this song is good.

15. Get F**ked Up - Iconz C- I don't like this song much.

16. So Fresh, So Clean (Remix) - Outkast feat. Snoop Dogg and Sleepy Brown A+ This is the best of the CD! I love Outkast and Snoop. Awesome!

Overall Grade - C+ This CD has it's hits and misses, but overall it comes out refreshing. Though, another weak one.

A Compilation of Good and Overplayed Hits.......2002-05-16

Despite of the title, I think that this is a must-have CD for all those who doubt to buy their fave rapper's new album if it is worthy or not.

Anyway, this is still a cool compilation because it's got DMX, Ludacris, Outkast, Missy, Xzibit, Trick Daddy, etc..However, I've had enough of tracks 3, 4, 6, 7 & 8- I can't stand Nelly's "Ride With Me" anymore ("Batterup" or "Number 1"'re better", and so with P. Diddy, the "I'm Real" remix, "Let me Blow Ya Mind"- (for months, I've been hearing that tan....tan...tantantantantantan...tan...tan... tune from the intro) and D-12's "Purple Hills"...Only 5 overplayed hits, still a good album!

Great Bounce For Your Buck.......2002-01-18

I love this because it has a great collection of Hip-Hop that you probably wouldn't get anywhere else.

DMX, Ja Rule, Snoop, D12, Xibit..it's all here. Track 2 "I'm a Thug" by Trick Daddy is phenomenal!! Never heard it beofre but it's my favorite track.

The ever popular "Get Your Freak On" is great and a bit of a different remix.

The biggest surprise for me was the D12 track "Purple Pills", I didn't pay close attention to it before but now that I got a good listen...amazing!!

I don't think you will find a more ecclectic mix of Hip-Hop other than this. It has a couple of borderline pop songs but overall, great!

My only complaint, P-Diddy, but I knew it was there going in to the buy so I guess one [bad] song isn't so bad.

For a silly white grrrl, this CD makes me BOUNCE!

Perfect party music for New Year's and beyond!.......2001-12-21

This is a compilation not to be missed, and should be on many rap fans' Christmas lists. All the big hits from this summer are here, especially the ones that weren't released as singles- now I have them all on one collection! I work in a music store, so I not only get the chance to hear the new releases, but I also know what's hot with fans (not to mention, find out ahead of time what sucks- and this doesn't!!!).

My only complaint about this CD is that they didn't include more songs from soundtracks (like Nelly's "#1" from Training Day should have made it instead of the older "Ride Wit Me" which is on other collections like Now 7!) I would have liked to have seen more current-airplay songs unique to this collection; Totally Hits 2001 I got a few months back and it has 3 of the songs that's on this cd. They're still good songs, but they could have chosen more current hits to include(I would have suggested "One Minute Man" by Missy and Ludacris rather than "Get Ur Freak On").

The presence of older smashes is what gives this CD a 4-star instead of a 5-star. Otherwise, it's the best party CD this year in my opinion. Move that mouse! Click on it and order it! You won't be sorry. It's been in constant rotation at our store and in my CD player, and it's filled with top singles guaranteed to keep it in your CD player too!

Whats happening to these collections?.......2007-02-19

These compilations get worse and worse every year. Bad enough garbage rappers is always puttin out garbage. So we're forced to purchase their crap twice? I'll admit that I do like some of Benzino's work, but I hate the fact he forces his tracks on hit albums, when he hasn't had a hit in years. The best track for me is Mobb deep's got it twisted. The source could have pulled tracks from anywhere to make this album at the very least luke warm. Two thumbs down!

garbage.......2006-05-15

benzino?? the only reason he is here is because he owns half of the source magazine

Pleaze! .......2005-10-25

Take this from a true hip hop junkey!

1. Lil' Flip - Game Over - don't like the man, but I love this song. Also on the album "U Gotta Feel Me". 0/10
2. Akon feat. Styles P - Locked Up - a hot collabo; this was a Buzzworthy song (If you watch MTV, you know what Buzzworthy is). Also on Akon's album "Trouble" and Styles P's upcoming album "Time is Money". 1/10
3. Juvenile feat. Soulja Slim - Slow Motion - a hot jam in the summer; it's too bad that Soulja Slim could not live to see the success of this song. Also on Juvenile's album "Juve The Great". 9/10
4. Ludacris - Blow It Out - a song that disses Bill O'Reilly; good song, but outdated at this point. Also on the album "Chicken and Beer". 10+/10
5. Mase - Welcome Back - his return song that was hot in the summer and a Buzzworthy joint. Also on the album "Welcome Back". 2/10
6. Petey Pablo - Freek-A-Leek - I STILL love this song!!! Lil' Jon always has a hot song; sounds similar to Usher's "Yeah". Also on the album "Still Writing In My Diary: 2nd Entry". 10/10
7. Houston feat. Chingy, I-20 and Nate Dogg - I Like That - I think that this is a really stupid song. Shoulda had Ludacris and Shawnna rather than Chingy and I-20. This should NOT be on this album. Also on Houston's album "It's Already Written". 1/10
8. Young Gunz - No Better Love - this is a REALLY old song. This should not be on there just for the fact that this is outdated. Also on the album "Tough Luv". 2/10
9. Twista - Overnight Celebrity - everybody hates this song, but I love it. Features Kanye West on the hook. Also on the album "Kamikaze". 5 overrated/10
10. Slum Village feat. Kanye West - Selfish - not as popular a asong as I expected, but I still like it. Also on Slum Village's album "Detroit Deli". 10/10
11. Mobb Deep - Got It Twisted - I love them and the song. It's too bad everybody hates the album. This is one of their best songs ever. Also on the album "Amerikaz Nightmare". 10/10
12. Ray Benzino - Bottles and Up - I like the song, but not the man. But at least this is better than Eminem's latest album. Also on the album "Arch Nemesis". 8/10
13. Lil' Scrappy - No Problem - a hot summer jam; another Buzzworthy song. Also on the album "Lil Jon presents: Trillville and Lil' Scrappy". 1/10
14. Lil' Wayne feat. Mannie Fresh - Bring It Back - hot collabo with the two Cash Money rappers. Didn't blow up the way "Go DJ" did but still a great song. Also on the album "The Carter". 5/10
15. T.I. - Rubberband Man - I STILL love this song! This was a Buzzworthy as well; I do not like Lil' Flip, so I support T.I. Also on the album "Trap Muzik". 1/10
16. Ray Benzino and The Untouchables - Don't Hate - another filler song; I stop the album after hearing "Rubberband Man". 1/10

Crap.......2005-06-22

Words can't describe how bad this is. However, I read reveiws for volume 8, and the reviewer pretty mucyh describes what I think, and I will quote him.....

"Well. Seems like these talentless, gold-toothed imbeciles are really getting rich from churning out this junk faster than Detroit churns out cars because dumb pre-teens and wiggers keep buying into this fad... so I'm going to cash in on it! Quick! Before it dies out! I'm going to make my OWN unlistenable, wretched pop-rap album!

So here I go, with the steps:

1.) Pick out stupid, laughable moniker (IE "Chingy", "Nelly", etc.). Hmm... how about "Dippety D"? I know, I know, it sounds like a Warner Brothers cartoon... but hey, this is what makes money, so who am I to argue?

2.) Go to the mall and buy $500 worth of oversized South Pole and Mecca clothing.

3.) Get a friend with an old electronic keyboard. Actually, scratch the friend part. I can do it myself.

4.) Pick out one of the 16 loaded beats. Choose a tempo.

5.) Put it on, and record myself mumbling over it. Subject matter must not exceed the range of "munny, secks, thugstaz, wummenzz". Oh yeah, gotta curse a lot too. My title track shall be me just endlessly bleating "DIPPETY DIPPETY DIPPETY D!!!!"

6.) When I write the words/lyrics, misspell everything horribly. Hmm. What's a good album title? I know! "Dippity D Duz Da Derrrty Deed".

7.) Shoot the album cover. Wear the aforementioned wigger clothing, scowl like an idiot, and show off my "blang" (fake).

8.) Release, sell the single to MTV, and become a millionaire overnight! It's that easy! AND it requires NO TALENT WHATSOEVER! Those of you clamoring for the "No" button below, wait 'til you hear my new single, "For Sheezy My Wheezy"! It'll soon be blasting at a local school dance near you!

No. Forget it. I'm not going to do any of that. If I make an album, it'll be of my OWN musical merit. I'll actually put some effort into it, and make something I can take pride in.

Avoid.

Show me the "Not Helpful" votes!"

I completely agree with him 101% percent, and he knows what music is.

1. Lil' Flip - Game Over - don't like the man, but I love this song. Also on the album "U Gotta Feel Me". 10/10
2. Akon feat. Styles P - Locked Up - a hot collabo; this was a Buzzworthy song (If you watch MTV, you know what Buzzworthy is). Also on Akon's album "Trouble" and Styles P's upcoming album "Time is Money". 10/10

16. Ray Benzino and The Untouchables - Don't Hate - another filler song; I stop the album after hearing "Rubberband Man". 2/10

Overall, I like this album, but should have included "Lean Back", "On Fire" and "Drop It Like It's Hot", rather than the songs that I gave low ratings.

This is easily tied for the best of the Hip Hop Hits with vol. 1 I wont point out any specific tracks. I can listen to this all the way through. Every track is bangin'. You will not be disappointed with this. This compilation is highly recommended.

bangin from beginnin to end.......2001-01-19

source vol. 2 is the greates compilation cd i own. it's got hits from all sides of the hiphop spectrum. some of my fave songs are 2pac's do for love, snoop dogg's still a g thing, lox's money power and respect, ll cool j and company's 4,3,2,1 and master p's i got the hook up. there are lots of club hits and anthems on here. the new york anthem deja vu, millionaire anthem money ain't a thing, and ghetto anthem i got the hook up all shine. the hottest beats are the drums and bass on luv 2 luv u, killa bass on 2pac's do for love, the dramatic beat on money power and respect, and the piano on on still not a player. the best emceeing occurs on turn it up with busta rhyme's bouncy flow. i love the more rnb choruses like on do for love, hope i don't go back by e-4o, and i got the hook up. all the other songs are hot. also it's edited so if ur still a kid u can blast it and ur parents won't get mad. newayz if u like hiphop quality and variety pick this up. peace out.

old school.......2006-12-29

this is the best old school compliation cd that i have heard. each song reminded me of how this baby of hip hop has grown. don't leave the house without it.

Real Hip Hop.......2006-04-08

This is were Hip Hop originated from,if you like old school this is a must have.Especially those who grew up listening to Chuck Chill Out and Red Alert play these on the radio back in the day.Boogie Down Bronx Represents here!

Best history of hip hop CD available.......2001-07-10

Excellent anthology that covers the first years of hip hop/rap better than any other single CD available, with informative liner notes to put it all in context. The people who put this together have a good sense of history and including material from so many labels is a big plus. Everyone may have a favorite track that could have been added, but you can't fault what's here, although "Rapper's Delight" is the 4-minute-plus single edit and not the longer 12" version.

Awesome collection!.......2001-07-07

What a fun collection of classic hip-hop tracks! The two biggest classics are Rapper's Delight and Planet Rock (Many credit these two songs for starting the craze around rap), but there are tons of other hits from artists like Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Salt 'N Pepa, LL Cool J, Rob Base and tons more. This is a blast to listen to. A good companion buy would be Millenium Hip-Hop Party, which has almost every major hit not included on this album, but with only one or two repeats. This should definately be purchased by any hip-hop fan. It's a part of American musical history.

Awesome collection!.......2001-07-07

Customer Reviews:

Lame, weak, and wack.......2007-02-19

I would give this more than one star, if I liked more than 2 to 3 tracks. The purpose of these compilations is to enjoy all the best music from an artist album of that year. But what if thier best is their worst? The only artist who was worth my time, was Gangstarr, Westside Connection, and Ja. But I have those albums and I rather listen to those, then a whole entire album it will take less than 9 mins, to go through the whole thing.

A few good old songs.......2006-07-15

A few good old songs. still better than having jay-z.... he just copies Notorious B.I.G. thats why he retired. NOTHING LEFT TO STEAL!!!!

Eggplant is 100% right.......2005-06-17

I could review this, but I'd be wasting what Eggplant wrote. You hit the nail on the head!

This Source Compilation album sucked!.......2005-04-04

Actually, stratch that; THE WORST! Many of these songs sucked and should have had much better songs. As much as I love rap, this is the worst rap soundtrack I have ever heard.

1. Youngbloodz feat. Lil' Jon - Damn - why does every Southern single have Lil' Jon singing the hook? Eight out of ten times, it flops. (two times it hasn't flopped is "Freek-A-Leek" and Usher's "Yeah"). Also on Youngbloodz' "Drankin Patnaz". 4/10
2. Wyclef - The Industry - Only heard this song once; why is this on a "hits" album? N/A
3. Chingy - Right Thurr - First good song on the whole album. It was a Buzzworthy song, and made Chingy a superstar. Also on "Jackpot". 9/10
4. Young Gunz - Can't Stop, Won't Stop - The beat is very annoying, and their voices make it worse. Also on "Tough Luv" 6.5/10
5. Westside Connection - Gangsta Nation - this is the only real gangsta song on this album. Also on "Terrorist Threats" 10/10
6. Ja Rule - Clap Back - Why is this even on here? I hate Ja and so does everybody else. Also on "Blood In My Eye". 2/10
7. Kanye West - Through The Wire - did not like it at first, and then I loved it; it was a Buzzworthy song. Also on "The College Dropout". 10/10
8. Gang Starr - Skills - never heard this song. N/A
9. J-Kwon - Tipsy - great song; basically the new school version on "Gin and Juice". Also on "Hood Hop". 9/10
10. E-40 feat. The Clipse - never heard this song. N/A
11. Fabolous feat. Tamia - another crappy song and rap artist. Also on "Street Dreams". 1/10
12. T.I. - Be Easy - good song, but only got put on there because Rubber Band Man was very successful. "Also on "Trap Muzik". 9/10
13. Cassidy feat. R. Kelly - hot song; hated it at first, but then loved it. Also on "Split Personality". 10/10
14. Ying Yang Twins feat. Lil Jon - all right collabo, but not as great as "Get Low". Also on "Me and My Brother". 6/10
15. Scarface - Recognize - this should not be on here because it was never a hit; not even that great anyway. 4/10
16. The Untouchables feat. Benzino - Relationship w/ Me and My Gun - another filler track; I stop this album after "Hotel", or rarely "Salt Shaker". 3/10

There are at least 10 better songs this compilation should have included than the ten bad ones on here. Examples being:
1. Outkast - "Hey Ya"
2. Ludacris - "Stand Up"
3. Cam'ron - "Get Em Girl"
4. Lil' Jon feat. Ying Yang Twins - "Get Low"
5. Obie Trice feat. Nate Dogg - "The Setup"
6. Outkast - "The Way You Move"
7. Juelz Santana feat. Cam'ron - "Dipset (Santana's Town)"
8. G-Unit - "Stunt 101"
9. Jay-Z - "Change Clothes"
10. Any 50 Cent hit released that year

Fine then, you leave me no choice!.......2005-03-15

Well. Seems like these talentless, gold-toothed imbeciles are really getting rich from churning out this junk faster than Detroit churns out cars because dumb pre-teens and wiggers keep buying into this fad... so I'm going to cash in on it! Quick! Before it dies out! I'm going to make my OWN unlistenable, wretched pop-rap album!

So here I go, with the steps:

1.) Pick out stupid, laughable moniker (IE "Chingy", "Nelly", etc.). Hmm... how about "Dippety D"? I know, I know, it sounds like a Warner Brothers cartoon... but hey, this is what makes money, so who am I to argue?

2.) Go to the mall and buy $500 worth of oversized South Pole and Mecca clothing.

3.) Get a friend with an old electronic keyboard. Actually, scratch the friend part. I can do it myself.

4.) Pick out one of the 16 loaded beats. Choose a tempo.

5.) Put it on, and record myself mumbling over it. Subject matter must not exceed the range of "munny, secks, thugstaz, wummenzz". Oh yeah, gotta curse a lot too. My title track shall be me just endlessly bleating "DIPPETY DIPPETY DIPPETY D!!!!"

6.) When I write the words/lyrics, misspell everything horribly. Hmm. What's a good album title? I know! "Dippity D Duz Da Derrrty Deed".

7.) Shoot the album cover. Wear the aforementioned wigger clothing, scowl like an idiot, and show off my "blang" (fake).

8.) Release, sell the single to MTV, and become a millionaire overnight! It's that easy! AND it requires NO TALENT WHATSOEVER! Those of you clamoring for the "No" button below, wait 'til you hear my new single, "For Sheezy My Wheezy"! It'll soon be blasting at a local school dance near you!

No. Forget it. I'm not going to do any of that. If I make an album, it'll be of my OWN musical merit. I'll actually put some effort into it, and make something I can take pride in.

Avoid.
