Fantastic,if you Like Roger Troutman.......2007-04-01

A little more mellow and cool CD from Roger.Nice tunes.

You Can Never Get Enough!!.......2006-11-11

Another must-have album. Filled with tracks from "A Thin Line Between Love & Hate" & others. For any Zapp & Roger Troutman fan.
At first I didn't know what to make of the album but after a while, it really grew on me. Even the Christmas track, which was the oddest of all.

The only drawback was the amount of tracks!! I know 4 or 5 could've still been squeezed-in!! Oh... & the original "California Love" isn't good, lyrically.

I never expected less from Roger........2003-01-24

Roger Troutman could innovatively inspire grooves that would have you dancing before you even realized. But when he re-did a classic, you just knew it was going to be off the hook! Roger's vision, talent, enthusiasm are evident in such songs as "Thin line between love and hate", and "I will always love you". I will particularly direct your attention to "Easy" and "Livin' for the city" as Roger schools the music industry on what a remake is all about. But let's not forget about the originals. "Everybody get up" is reminiscent of the funkateer's energetic "So ruff so tuff" yet, with a refreshingly youthful hip-hop spin. Roger could hit you from any angle, and he was always eager to give you all he could. The jazzy, rhythmic "Play some blues" was a more cultural display of Roger's dirverse talents. Even though the live version of "Midnight hour" is a nice-to-have, I would have liked the original version included. Listening to this cd is a good starting point for those of you not familiar with the Zapp essence. For those of us already fans of Roger/Zapp clan, doesn't it make you miss him? My love to Roger, and may he rest in peace,- your adoring fan, Ian Christopher Epps.

Good.......2000-05-18

This is Good but not as Strong as the First Hits One.Still Roger is One Of The Greatest Talents Ever.His Music will Forever Live On.His Music is So Important.He was a Genius.

So they put the best jams in Vol 1--Vol 2 ain't no slouch!.......2000-02-29

I mean, those remakes of Stevie's "Living for The City" and "Easy" are great. It also has the underrated and underplayed "It Doesn't Really Matter" and "Get Up Everybody" and it puts good use to Shirley Murdock's fire-and-brimstone meets the Champaign Room vocals especially on "Chocolate City"--listeners must be warned, "California Love" here doesn't have Dre and 2pac, but that "doesn't really matter"...it is a good CD.
