5 out of 5 stars Tight deal.......2003-03-03

I picked up this 19 track cd [at a bargain price.] It was a steal. I was not expecting much from the price but I was definately suprised. Every joint on this is fire besides maybe "Thirsty Man", but I have never digged Thirstin Howl's style. This is a must have for any fan of underground hip hop. I bought this cd a while ago, and it still gets almost daily spin in the ride. I'm wearing the paint off this disc. So if you are a fan of any underground cats don't pass up this deal.

4 out of 5 stars Good display of various types of underground talent..........2002-09-15

I was unaware of this compilation's existence. I was in my local Sam Goody store looking for something new to feed my car's speakers. I came across the word UNDERGROUND and of course I picked up the CD and saw some names on the back that made me crack a smile: Guru, Esoteric, Talib Kweli, Inspectah Deck, Beatnuts, etc...

For [$] ANY CD IS WORTH GETTING FOR THAT PRICE except for something in the likes of Puffy, Nelly, or Ja Rule... Every song on here is butter except for a couple exceptions. I'm not highly into thug underground hiphop so Infamous Mobb was a turn off and so was the track by 50 Cent....

Highlights:
OC - "King of New York"
Inspectah Deck "Swordplay Remix)
Cormega - "Get Out My Way"
Guru & Masta Ace - "Conflict Remix"
Non Phixion "Rock Stars"
Beatnuts - Work That Pole
Main Flow & Talib Kweli - Hiphop Worth Dying For
7L & Esoteric - Word Association...

so overall... if you're already a fan of underground hiphop or if you want to satisfy your curiosity... Pick up this CD!!!

I'm Out ... Mind Power!!!

I came across the word UNDERGROUND and of course I picked up the CD and saw some names on the back that made me crack a smile: Guru, Esoteric, Talib Kweli, Inspectah Deck, Beatnuts, etc... Then out of curiosity I peeked at the price for this 19 track CD ...

For [a small amount of money] ANY CD IS WORTH GETTING FOR THAT PRICE except for something in the likes of Puffy, Nelly, or Ja Rule... Every song on here is butter except for a couple exceptions. I'm not highly into thug underground hiphop so Infamous Mobb was a turn off and so was the track by 50 Cent....

so overall... if you're already a fan of underground hiphop or if you want to satisfy your curiosity... Pick up this CD!!! even if its [more expensive]....

4 out of 5 stars dope.......2002-09-14

I just bought this CD ..., so for the price alone, this is worth it. 3 Alchemist joints, 2 Primo joints, and 2 J-Love joints, how can you go wrong? Dope production and good collection of artists highlight this CD. The best songs include "Get Out My Way" by Cormega (old but as dope as the first time I heard it), "Any Type Of Way" by Big Daddy Kane (it's Primo, what more can I say), "Swordplay Remix" by Inspectah Deck (same as the original but with better production - also know as "Tiger Crane Technique"), "Rock Stars" by Non-Phixion (one of the highlights of Non-Phixion's dope debut, plus its more Primo so it can't be bad), and "King Of New York" by OC (nice to hear from this dude again, "My World" and "Dangerous" were hot back in the day).

    3 out of 5 stars greatest hits?.......already?.......2007-04-27

    I don't own this particular release...but i've heard all but a couple of these songs...and don't get me wrong I really like ak, but I'm ready for new sh**. How can you drop a 'hits' cd when you've only released one full length album? That being said this does pull some of the better songs from ep and balance, as well as a couple with lif, so if u slept then this might be a nice one to cop.
