Spoonie Gee, before LL we had Spoonie!!! Everyone if you don't know about him do your homework. Probably the freshest you'll never hear talked about. He made very entertaining songs and is truly a predacessor when it comes to rap music. You must find it and cherish it. The GODFATHER!!!!

4 out of 5 stars sound quality clarification.......2006-12-01

some have complained about sound quality. i am not a trained ear but it is easy to hear that the last two tracks and only those two sound awful - demo-quality or worse. all the rest, where the good stuff is anyway, are fine.

4 out of 5 stars it's OK.......2006-08-21

I specifically bought this CD for "One for the Treble", so it was worth it. There are some other good songs on the CD but the quality is bad.

2 out of 5 stars Not rubbish but awful recording masters thanks to Tuff City .......2004-12-25

Yeah y'all "One For The Treble (Fresh)" and "The DMX Will Rock" series are the only joints on this greatest hits CD by the man DAVY DMX. He sings,he plays bass,he's a super dope DJ. Tuff City Records messes this CD up with awful recorded masters (just like on the ULTRAMAGNETIC MC'S bootlegs. I-ight,CED-GEE was responsible for that,who or whom is responsible for this?).

In my high school days,I was on the radio as a DJ and I wore out "One For The Treble (Fresh)". I had it on 12" single,it was one of the most requested hip-hop songs on my show. Don't forget DAVY DMX produced and played some instruments for KURTIS BLOW before going solo (see "8 Million Stories",etc). I'm not knocking DAVY DMX at all,but this should have been a 5 song EP. I'm not knocking Tuff City either,it's just that they were a great indie record label (in the 80's) gone to...stink! Anyways,old school rule dawg! Don't you new aged rappers and DJ's forget it!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Original Hip Hop.......2000-03-29

I have been looking for this for sometime now. I think all the new hip hoppers should listen to this CD!!!! Funky!!!!

4 out of 5 stars the original Davey DMX so get wit' it!.......2000-01-10

The lack of knowledge about such a talented artist "I can't Explain".The king of the drum machine [before Mantronix].Def Jam O.G.F-f-f-fresh!Can I ride with you Davey,Davey please?Can I ride with you Davey?Anybody who calls themselves down with the culture of Hip-Hop should listen to "Davey's Ride"'which was released in 1987 on Def Jam/Columbia.This album,I believe,shows you exactly how versatile an artist he truly is.

5 out of 5 stars "Another Tuff City classic compilation".......2005-08-29

This is one of those compilations filled with rare, OOP, hard to find joints. You got cuts from the Ultramagnetic MC's "BASEMENT TAPES: 1984-1988", also featured are cuts from the Cold Crush Bros.'s "LIVE in '82". A few joints from the early 80's and classics from the Tuff City All-Stars. Some classic sh*t for your eardrums and not the same ol' songs of other compilations.

4 out of 5 stars Love the old rap? Then this CD is a must!!!!!.......2000-10-19

If you guys love the old rap, like Kriss Kross, One Way, Frankie Smith and all them other guys, you need this CD! It has a mix of everything, with a bit of Jamaican flair. Great for cruising around the car with, or breakdancing at the club. Whatever way you look at i,t, you must get it!

5 out of 5 stars "Cold-Crush, ya'll! givin' you more"!!.......2005-08-07

The C.C.B.'s have been rockin' n' shockin' the house since the '70's. This compilation here is technically there first album, being that back then they had a string of hit singles (the norm at the time) and of course, there musical contribution to the classic "WILD-STYLE" soundtrack. I'll break down the trks.for ya': trk.1- "fresh, wild, fly & bold (megamix) a Cold-Crush classic!!! 10/10. trk.2- "punk rock rap" not one of their best in my opinion, but considered a classic. 6/10. trk.3-"heartbreakers" another Cold-Crush classic!! 10/10. trk.4-"weekend" their classic 1st single. 8/10. trk.5-"number one with the fun" this is an ill song! it's so hard-core! straight up, B-Boy classic! 10/10. trk.6-"we reserve the right to rock" this is a previously unreleased demo, but it's still ill! 9/10. trk.7-"yvette" although produced by the late Pumpkin, the "live" version of this song is so much better. 7/10. trk.8-"mister bill" this song ain't all that, even with production by Pumpkin. but Caz delivers lyrically. 7/10.

      2 out of 5 stars Major Disappointment! :(.......2007-06-01

      I am in total agreement with 'Raveric' on the quality. If you listen carefully you can hear the odd pop n' click and this tell me this album is nothing more than ripped off vinyl and released on cd. I was really looking forward to this cd but my electro mp3 collection sounds far superior. Why oh why did they give us the short (less than 4min) version of 'return of captain rock' but give us the FULL instrumental version??? This cd doesn't even include 'cosmic glide'. Thankfully i have a pretty good mp3 of the 12" but it would of been nice to have it included.

      Now if only someone out there would release a double/triple cd set of full 12" versions of all the classic electro with studio quality!

      5 out of 5 stars excellent.......2006-07-03

      one of my favourite's from early hip hop and electro day's along with Dr jeckyll+Mr hyde,man parrish,L.A dream team and the unforgettable sound of egyptian lover

      2 out of 5 stars Great music YES, great quality NO.......2006-04-22

      Without a doubt I love the music on this Captian Rock collection, but come on, with all the technology available, how hard can it be to remaster/restore the music in at least acceptable quality?

      I bought this cd for replacing my own recordings on tape and original vinyl, only to find out that even my 20 years old tapes are in better shape than this cd. Oke, the dub-version of the "Return of Captain Rock" sound fine, but the (only 3:58 long) vocal version sounds like something played on My first Sony...

      To make this long story short, a great collection with a very, very poor soundquality and not worth your hard earned bucks!

        2 out of 5 stars OK album from the old school producer.......2000-03-07

        This album isn't terribly good but it has it's redeeming moments. The production is of mixed quality. A problem which seems to haunt many of the tracks are some very silly choruses that drag otherwise good tracks down. The CD has appearances by some notable mc's such as Grandmaster Caz, Spoonie Gee, Funkmaster Wizard Wiz and the, to me at least, largely unheard of MC New York. The latter appears on "Good Morning Mr. Phelps" and this CD's best track "I am New York". Especially on this track he displays rhyming skills with a funky delivery and it's also the best beat on this release. Furthermore the chorus isn't as silly as elsewhere, although not a great one either. Of the other 4-5 good tracks "Spoonie Gee" (despite a silly chorus) and "Pumpkin's Groove" are also worth mentioning. Spoonie Gee sounds nice on "Get Loose" but the beat is unfortunately so small that it's almost an a capella. Other people here are Traedonya and Puffy Dunster with some inept rhymes and production. It's really a shame that Pumpkin's "King of the Beat", which was originally released on Profile, isn't here but I guess Tuff City weren't able to get the rights. This album actually deserves 2.5 stars but since 3 is too much we'll settle on 2.

        3 out of 5 stars so close..........1998-10-28

        Most of the songs on this album are classics, especially the ones on the black power tip. But, those DJs, the Universal Wack Kings -- er, the Universal Wax Kings -- talk ALL THE WAY through most of the songs. A few shout-outs are okay, but a whole hour of them is seriously wack. A real disappointment from an album that could be tight.
