Early classics outshine the recent hits.......2006-09-16

DelaSoul is an important band in Hip Hop and deserving of a greatest hits compilation. I was a big fan of their first two records and I lost track of them after that. Naturally, I'm biased towards the early songs in their career. Songs like "Me, Myself, and I", "Ring Ring Ring," "Saturdays," and "Buddy" are my favorite songs. I have a tougher time with the songs from their later period. Part of it is due to my unfamiliarity with the songs, and part of it is due to all the guest rappers on their biggest hits. The beats are fine, but I want to hear DelaSoul, not a bunch of guest rappers. So many hip hop groups fall into the trap of guest rappers to help boost sales, and I guess I'm a little disappointed DelaSoul did the same. A fan of hip hop, and especially recent hip hop music, will enjoy all of this compilation. I'm satisfied only listening to their early tunes.

Solid CD.......2004-12-15

I'm happy to see that De La is getting props. I loved the songs, but "Eye Know" and "Hey No Go" has to be included with their greatest hits. Actually, any song from "3 Feet High and Rising" could be considered a greatest hit. This CD is a good starting point for newbies to the De La scene, but what we badly need from this group is an anthology. They have too many tight tracks over their career to be held on only one CD!!!

Finally, all the cool versions of the De La songs on one CD!.......2003-06-18

Whether you're just discovering De La Soul or you're already a fan, "Timeless" is a welcome addition to the cd collection. Not only does it include five tracks from one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever ("3 Feet High And Rising"), but these are the cool 7" and 12" versions of the songs.

Highlights include "Me Myself & I" (the radio mix which is pretty close to the album version but has a cool "breakdown" in the middle) "Ring Ring Ring" (also the radio mix which adds a few samples to the original album version) and a very cool 12" remix of "Buddy" (completely different but just as good).

For newcomers wanting to explore more than just the De La "hits," also buy "3 Feet High And Rising."

It's about time a collection of De La joints was released. Although the classic remix of Buddy is available here, I was disappointed that Itsoweezee from the Stakes Is High CD was not included. If this truly were a singles collection, that joint would be in the mix. (It was a legitimate single with a video and everything). And for the sake of arguing, joints like 4 More and The Bizness were not singles as far as I know. I won't front on The Bizness too much though, because it is a gem featuring Common right as he dropped the Sense from his name and was discovering his experimental hip-hop self. But if 4 More can be on this disc, why not Eye Know, which was a much better song and also got video play. ...Overall, without the pickiness, this is a worthwhile collection for the uninitiated De La folks. True heads know to cop the complete CDs (especially the first four).

I grew up on these Cats&it's cool to see them getting a Greatest Hits Package that goes back to a time period when in Rap/Hip-Hop you had to be creative&have your own voicing.these Cats Brought there own Perspective to the Rap/Hip-Hop Game&these Songs reflect a time period.Production was cool&the flow was right on.
