Customer Reviews:

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.
