The Kings of Hip Hop [Explicit Lyrics]
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Kings Of Hip-Hop, the third release in the "Kings of
" series, is a two part journey; CD 1 mixed by DJ Premier voyages into the music that helped 'shape' hip-hop into what it has become, and CD 2 mixed by Mr. Thing is a collection of ground-breaking hip-hop tracks. DJ Premier, of the legendary Gang Starr outfit, is one of hip-hop's most renowned beat makers. Hailing from Brooklyn NY, this master producer has laid tracks for some of the East Coast's most significant hip-hop albums, such as Nas' Illmatic, the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, Jeru the Damaja's The Sun Rises in the East, and Mos Def's Black on Both Sides. Premier's mix, CD 1, will consist of tracks that have directly shaped hip-hop, as we know it today. On CD 2, Mr. Thing, World DMC team champion of 1999, and individual UK champion of 2000, brings us a mix of pioneering hip-hop sounds. It features tracks from a range of talent such as ODB, Das EFX, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B & Rakim, De La Soul and many others. Kings of Hip-Hop is about the true old school flavor of hip-hop, the fun, the party - ear candy for the mind, the body and the soul.

Sometimes it takes a Sharon Jones to remind us that being a great performer is not necessarily the same as being a great Gap model, and vice versa. To believe the hype, exterior aesthetics kept this soul/funk singer from getting the recognition she deserved early in her career. Now she's pushing 50, but Naturally (Jones' second full-length album with the Dap-Kings) proves that she can still sing circles around just about anything in hot pants.
When it comes to running down the great songs on this CD, it's hard to know where to begin. "How Long Do I have to Wait for You" is as smooth and winning as the irresistible lovers Jones sings about on many of these tracks. Most of the material deals with matters of the heart, although Jones' rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" reveals her political side. (In live performances Jones goes even further, singing a plan to stop paying taxes.) "Stranded in Your Love" is like a warm-weather version of "Baby It's Cold Outside." And the big romantic finish on this album, "All Over Again" must immediately be taken up as the new, must-play, wedding dance song. Naturally is a gift to R&B and should help the genre win new fans--with an album this infectious, you'd have to be made of stone to resist the funk. --Leah Weathersby

You need to hear her version of "This Land is Your Land".......2007-01-10
New singer, climbed her way to the national scene late in life. She was working until recently as a security guard or something, but man has she got talent. The fact that she wasn't discovered until recently is an indictment against the record industry and their disproportionate interest in the "look" of singers. No, she's not pretty in the Britney Spears/Paris Hilton kind of way, but she has a simply gorgeous voice which she uses to sing R and B with a lot of funk and soul. If you like the old Motown sounds, or 70s funk, and who doesn't by the way, you can't help but love this CD. It's not just her remarkable talents, her band includes an excellent horn section, an impressive rhythm section, and a monster of a bass player who seems to be the band leader. Get this CD, check out the Daptone label for other funky soul r and b CD's you should have, and next chance you can, see the DapKings live. You ever noticed how race, ethnicity, age, nationality, social class, and sometimes even gender and sexual orienation segregates music audiences? Well it's the opposite with the old Motown sound, you start playing that stuff to just about any crowd and people start dancing and singing along. Same thing with this Sharon Jones stuff, in concert, they get an pretty diverse crowd of fans.
A return to 60's&70's soul.......2006-11-05
As a longtime collector of 60's and 70's soul music, this compilation gives me hope that some artists and performers are still refusing to let
this style of music disappear.
This is serious bare bones,back to basics stuff.
The funk drives hard and the soul is sweet and danceable.
I love this stuff.
I LOVE IT !!!!.......2006-05-12
The fella from Leeds whose review is posted as the first one says it all. I just wanted to say how much i LOVE this excellent album and how i can't stop listening to it!!!! It's everything you want from music! It's just sheer joy and satisfaction of listening to a great tune and real musicians whose love for the music they're making shine through.
I love all the songs on it. My most favorites are My Man Is A Mean Man and Your Thing Is A Drag. I'm so happy i discovered great Ms.Jones and her equally great band! Do yourself a favor and check this out. I'm sure you'll end up buying it!!!
Gimme an "S"! For SOUL........2006-01-29
Sometimes I think I'm the only person under 30 who really knows what soul is. But I had the very fortunate experience of seeing Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings live recently and half of the faces in the audience were as young if not younger than mine. Sharon dances without choreography and the Dap Kings jammed without synthesizers. This is music the way it was meant to be. The revolution might not be televised, but it will be on stage, sold on Amazon, and headquartered in Brooklyn.
Sharon Jones acts natural..........2006-01-10
I love Sharon Jones! Her voice oozes soul and sass, and the Dap Kings back her with a groove that makes it impossible to stay still once you hear it. This is their second CD, and contains more ballad oriented material than their hard hitting first disc, "Dap Dippin". However, this disc is not lacking in grooves. "How Long Do I Have To Wait For You?" is so catchy its addictive. I have played this song so many times its not even funny. "This Land Is Your Land" is a VERY creative cover of the Woody Guthrie standard. Its a far cry from the original version! Also noteworthy is Sharon Jones' put down of a lover on "Your Thing Is A Drag". The band really lays down a groove on this one and Sharon Jones' vocals get the guy GOOD. If you liked the first album by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, you should definitely pick this one up, they continue to be the best funk band around.

GREAT CD!.......2007-05-30
This is a really great CD by Jedi Mind Tricks, it's one of their best! I highly recommend "Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell" for anyone who needs to pickup some new rap music for their collection.
Strong And Vicious (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-05-11
Jedi Mind Tricks, has been a group that I really haven't been following too much. I've only heard two of their albums: "Visions Of Ghandi" & "The Psycho-Social CD", and I have been very impressed with the albums that the group has made.
I didn't think to buy this album, until about a couple of months ago. Listening to Vinnie Paz' rhymes, he seems to sound more stronger and lyrical than ever. Listening to "Suicide", he sounds more stronger than ever. I actually like the samples that DJ Kwestion placed into the hooks for this song as well as "Put The In The Grave". I haven't heard anything too much like this in a while, especially this year. "Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story" features a sick verse from R.A. The Rugged Man, who actually outshines Vinnie Paz. Another touching song is the track is the track "Shadow Business" when Vinnie Paz talks about how life is from China and kids who work hard to support thier families. "Outlive The War" feauting Sean Price and Block Mc Cloud.
I'm not sure about any of the other albums that are out, but the CD that I have has three bonus tracks. One of the tracks that I liked was "Pretty Little Whores" with Outerspace. I also have a DVD with the video of "Heavy Metal Kings" (dope Mobb Deep sample), as well as the making of the music video.
As for any negatives, I quickly noticed the way that Vinnie Paz rhymes. It's like at the end of almost every bar, he quickly says something very short that rhymes with the last thing he said (if you heard the album, you would know exactly what I'm talking about.) That carries throughout the album. Also I wasn't feeling the Terror Remix to "Heavy Metal Kings".
Overall this album is excellent and one of the best of 2006. In fact Babygrande Records has been releasing excellent material thoughout the year (5% Album, Hi-Teknology 2: The Chip, etc.). This is one of the albums that many would enjoy the insensity of Vinnie Paz' lyrics, backed by Stupe The Enemy's production. I recommend that you check this out. Peace.

It's not a fluk, It's been tried, they are the truth.......2007-05-04
If you have been a fan of jedi mind tricks for a while, and i mean you have their CDs, not just listen to some of their songs. Then you can agree with me that with ever release comes something different. That is what makes them so great, their ability to stay fresh, because you don't know what is coming next. JMT was one hip hop group that i was fully into, because that was when i started actually listening to hip hop and looking for CDs not just hearing songs on the radio. I bought everything they put out, so it is hard for me to say that something of theirs is wack and only give them a 3 star rating, but i swear this album is nasty. Stoupe comes so correct with the production although some songs sound similar, it doesn't matter. He is like a mix of premier and havoc, because he makes those great samples and has songs you can feel in your bones. "Heavy Metal Kings" is such a nasty song, the beat comes in so hard and just hypes you up for a fight. But one of my favorite songs is "Uncommon Valor"(A Vietnam Story) the story that Paz and R.A. the rugged man unfold is a horrific tail of two different prospectives on the Vietnam War, but it just has that erie feeling to it like as if you are watching Marten Sheen covered with mud popping out of the water in Apocalypse Now. Fans questioned JMT after their release of Visions of Ghandi, many thought that they were just a fluk but now they have proven that they are a very stable, and influential rap group that knows their history of hip hop and can still play in the world of today.
The Break Down 1-10 rating
1.Intro
2."Put Em In The Grave"- 9 (this beat is great and Vinnie is on point)
3."Suicide"- 6 (beat is good, but the hook is a little bit of a stretch)
4."Uncommon Valor"- 10 (Classic)
5."A Blood Red Path"- 7 (Paz goes straight with no hook)
6."When All Lights Dies"- 8 (Very good song that you listen and relax to)
7."Serenity In A Murder"- 9.5 (this songs is bangin, it is like d'evils)
8.Pariah Demise interlude
9."Heavy Metal Kings"- 10 (Classic)
10."Shadow Business"- 8 (Great Story about Slave Labor)
11.Triumph And Agony interlude (beat is nasty, lyrics to it would be nice)
12."Razorblade Salvation"- 10 (Classic, deep song)
13."Outlive The War"- 9.5 (Sean Price makes this song great)
14."Gutta Music"- 9 (Such a great beat, with lyrics to match)
15.Temples Of Ice interlude
16."Black Winter Day"-7 (Another deep Song to end a great album)
The Art Of Consistency {4.5 Stars}.......2006-12-07
On their fifth release Vinnie and Stoupe craft what I believe to be their best effort yet. Say what you will about Vinnie's lyrics, but he brings it to your chest every time he spits. I personally don't find his lyrics offensive, but I think it's safe to say that JMT's stuff isn't for the easily offended. As far as the CD itself, Stoupe brings the heat on the boards. He's been dope and consistant from day one, so all you fans kow what to expect. Though the album is laced with banger after banger (I'd say 16 of 19 joints are tight), I think the consensus on "Uncommon Valor" being the best track on the entire album is pretty much spot on. The mentality of Vietnam soldiers. Brilliant. Vinnie provides one side of the equation (the scared soldier that wants to just do his job and leave) while R.A. is the booze drinking, vietnamese women screwin' (his words, not mine), glory seeking, violence loving soldier looking to be a hero. It's original and captivating in it's delivery. Hip Hop could definitely use more of that.
The DVD contains the video for "Heavy Metal Kings" which features Ill Bill and has a cameo by R.A. The Rugged Man. It also contains behind the scenes footage (Vinnie signing records, R.A. commentary, the making of the video, etc...).
You know, there isn't much wrong with this album. I found the three "bonus" tracks to be so-so (there are no wack tracks though), but what bores me the quickest is Vinnie P's cadence -- it never changes. Some will argue that if you've been down with JMT for a while then you should be used to that, and they're probably right, but I'm beginning to tire of the predictability of his cadence. No worries though, the content of his lyrics make up for it.
Servants In Heaven, Kings In Hell is one of the top ten '06 rap releases. Vinnie Paz and Stoupe have a consistant formula. No peaks and valleys, just steady, dependable production. With that being said, I think this is probably the first peak, because this is their best album in my humble opinion. I recommend adding this one to collection.
Standout Tracks: Heavy Metal Kings feat. Ill Bill, Shadow Business, Put 'Em In The Grave, Uncommon Valor feat. R.A. The Rugged Man (My Favorite), When All Light Dies, Black Winter Day, Razorblade Salvation, Outlive The War feat. Sean Price & Block McCloud, and Suicide

Relax and Enjoy.......2006-12-22
I would like to start by saying that this is NOT the best rap album I have ever heard. The rhymes are just silly, and at times nonexistent. This is basically 78 minutes of noise. However, that is no reason to give the album a bad review. From looking over previous reviews, it seems to me that the point of this album and crunk music in general has been lost on the majority of listeners. Anyone who honestly thinks that Lil Jon was out to create a classic album is downright clueless. These types of albums aim for two simple things. First, to create music that is fun to listen and dance to. Second, to make money. Lil Jon has succeeded massively in both respects. The production on Kings of Crunk, and on all Lil Jon tracks and albums, is fantastic. The beats are extremely complex and energetic, and his guest vocals are always well done. Furthermore, Lil Jon has built an entire business around his persona, making millions off of music, videos, apparel, and even pimp cups. Anyone claiming that Jon is stupid really needs to reconsider which takes more intelligence: making millions off a multimedia empire or working the register at Wal-Mart. I believe that Lil Jon makes some of the best party music around (although certainly not the best hip-hop ever), and makes no pretenses about trying to do anything more. I would thoroughly encourage anyone interested in a good party album to pick this up.
He Builds And Destorys All In One Album.......2006-12-01
Kings Of Crunk can be viewed on a few different levels and get mixed emotions. It can be felt a little better by people that have been around crunk from the beginning, since they they understand what it's all about. Being from the east I feel lyricism and beats need to be on point together to be a perfect song or a perfect album but this album is way off. Every beat on Kings Of Crunk is perfect; Jon did a nice job of creating these beats. He was so close to having a perfect album, first song is Ok and then Knockin Heads Off comes on which I think is the best song and sets the album off right. Then after a while you hear one too many words coming out of Jon's mouth and he messes up the flow of the album. It took a minute for me to fully realize why Jon shouts over the beat the way he does and it's because he's trying to get everybody crunk but when your more annoying than Dj Clue constantly talking over the beat it's time to stop. Great production but it could have been great if he just got more guest appearances instead of trying to do vocals himself. On the other hand if you're the club type or you like a little music to get it hype where you at then this is that album.
Pump it up.......2006-11-11
If you like a cd that can get you dancing and hyped up, then this the one! Know matter how old it gets it will still make you want to dance and act a fool. The music is great and some of the lyrics actually make since. My favorite is Throw it up! It's a great song to listen to while playing dominoes and saying "quarterhorse"
Kings Of Crunk .......2006-08-26
I don't lil jon is the king of crunk, that belongs to Three 6 Mafia but oh well. People hate this album because he does not rhyme, they haven't relized he does not do they rappin he makes hot choruses and hooks and leaves the guests to rap. This album is all party music not legitament rap. get this if you wanna have fun and party if you lookin for lyrics this ain't it. best songs are I Don't Give a F***, Rep Yo City, BME Click, Knockin Heads Off, and Throw It Up.
TAKE THE TIN FOIL OFF YOU TEETH!!!!!!.......2006-08-15
We're not impressed with you wearing tinfoil on you teeth calling them "grills". This guy has to have one of the most annoying voices I've ever heard. He's the same as every other rapper. Pretends he's something he's not and puts it in his music. Who cares about "crunk".

ms sharon jones!.......2006-10-24
daaamn this is some true soul commin at ya now, i wasnt sure what to expect when i got this cd and i was not disapointed in the least, the more you listen to it the better it gets, ms jones has a great soulful voice and i dont think i need to tell you that the dap kings are some true funk crusaders.
all in all if youre a funk lover and wanna hear something fresh and soulful, pick this album up and get your boogie on, it never fails, you can never go wrong with some daptones pure soul excitement
amazing album.......2006-06-30
Dap Dippin has heart, soul and passion. Definitely a must buy for soul affectionatios...an album you can listen to from the start to finish. only one criticiscm; annoying wait for a "hidden" track at the end of the cd that doesn't hit until like 6-7 minutes into the album.
So funky it hurts..........2005-12-09
I bought this disc because of the reputation that Sharon Jones has for an incredible live show and for keeping funk alive, and I wasn't disappointed. This band is so great on this CD that I can't wait to catch them live. I also can't wait for the next party I go to where I can crank this. The Dap Kings remind me of the J.B.'s with their percussive rhythm guitar and groovin rhythm section. Sharon Jones really knows how to lay it down too; their version of Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately" is so funky it has to be heard to be believed. This is one of those CD's that I bought on a whim but has prompted me to buy everything this group has ever put out. This is the BEST CD I bought in 2005, and believe me, I bought a lot of them. This is one of the hardest hitting funk albums I've ever heard and one of my favorites of all time, right up there with Funkadelic, JB, and Curtis Mayfield. If you are a fan of funk music, get this CD and help Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings keep funk alive. You won't regret it.
The only thing better is a live show!.......2004-04-12
MISS Sharon Jones, Miss SHARON Jones! As soon as Binky Griptite introduces this diva of funk, my backend already starts doin' the dap dip.
Sharon Jones offers an energy on this funky album that is a phenomenon in itself; the deep groove of the Dap Kings keeps you moving the whole night.
While I whole-heartedly recommend the CD, nothing is better than a live show: Tour dates and locations are posted at www.daptonerecords.com.
Guaranteed heavy heavy HEAVY!.......2003-12-01
Vicki Anderson, Lyn Collins, Marva Whitney.
Is Sharon Jones part of this line of ladies that James Brown produced in the late 60s/ early 70s, and kept her stuff in the can for all these years?
NO!
She's out there cookin' NOW with a great band and recording in NYC for Daptone Records. If you're into any of the ladies mentioned above, or you've heard anything else on Daptone or Desco, YOU NEED THIS!

Album Description
Kings Of Hip-Hop, the third release in the "Kings of
" series, is a two part journey; CD 1 mixed by DJ Premier voyages into the music that helped 'shape' hip-hop into what it has become, and CD 2 mixed by Mr. Thing is a collection of ground-breaking hip-hop tracks. DJ Premier, of the legendary Gang Starr outfit, is one of hip-hop's most renowned beat makers. Hailing from Brooklyn NY, this master producer has laid tracks for some of the East Coast's most significant hip-hop albums, such as Nas' Illmatic, the Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die, Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt, Jeru the Damaja's The Sun Rises in the East, and Mos Def's Black on Both Sides. Premier's mix, CD 1, will consist of tracks that have directly shaped hip-hop, as we know it today. On CD 2, Mr. Thing, World DMC team champion of 1999, and individual UK champion of 2000, brings us a mix of pioneering hip-hop sounds. It features tracks from a range of talent such as ODB, Das EFX, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Big Daddy Kane, Eric B & Rakim, De La Soul and many others. Kings of Hip-Hop is about the true old school flavor of hip-hop, the fun, the party - ear candy for the mind, the body and the soul.

This is not even Hip Hop Album. Where's DJ Premo?.......2006-06-28
i bought this CD simply because it had DJ Premier name on it.
i'm a big DJ Premier fan and always looking forward to hearing the music he has produced. But unfortunately, there's nothing special about this CD. as a matter of fact, i don't even know why disc 1 is included as a part of 'kings of hip hop'. This is straight up Jazz CD. i was looking forward to some scratches and cuts done by DJ premier, but he does so little in here. Usually when you hear a song, you know if it's done by Premo. But with this one, you can never tell that. 2nd CD mixed by Mr.Thing ain't that great either. They simply got the permission to put DJ premier's name on the album cover so that they can sell more albums....i feel like i got robbed.
WHAT A GREAT ALBUM.......2006-04-16
DJ PREMIER MIXING OLD.It works so well.If you dont like this then you have a hole in your hip hop soul.
Could it get any better?.......2006-04-02
DJ Premier AND Mr. Thing!!!
Where do I start, if you don't own this WAKE UP. The best of the best is found on these 2 discs and the BEST DJ's handlin the juggles and cuts what more could you want? Big up the WHOLE UNITED KINDOM & NEW YORK. BuY iT
Kings of Hip Hop.......2005-07-12
Anything that has DJ Premier on it is worth listening to.
Here he blends together classic funk, & soul cuts (check out the Pointer Sinster's "Don't it drive you crazy" which Premier himself used to lace the Step in the Arena classic "Execution of a Chump")or the original "Ain't no Half-Steppin" track, which was sampled countless times.
Mr Thing can be heard mixing together 90s underground Hip Hop. What's good about this mix is that is allows you to go back in time and relive timeless classics (Eric B. & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend") and also to rediscover some underground tracks that you may have forgotten, or even overlooked (Common & De La Soul's collaboration "The Business", Kenny Dope's scratches on "Get on Down" to name but a few).
Get this album if:
1. You are fed up with corporate rap and want to go back and relive what Hip Hop music was all about
2. You are new to hip hop and want to have an introduction to the music.
Either way, just get this album, you won't regret it.
Decent but should have been far better..........2005-06-19
I have been a DJ Premier fan since I heard (Deep Concentration) in the late 80's early 90's. I've enjoyed Gangstarr and Premier's production, beats, cuts and scratches on many other songs for other artist.
With that said, it is easier for me to compare what I have heard and looked forward to over the years versus the (mixing, cutting/scratching or lack of on this Kings of Hip Hop CD.
When I think DJ Premier, I don't think average or mediocre. In fact, that is an oxymoron... DJ Premier and average DJ'ing should not be in the same sentence or paragraph.
However, in my opinion, the blending, mixing and scratching was not the Premier caliber that I have become accustomed to. Although, I liked the individual records that were selected, they just did not seem to blend well together. For example, Grover Washington/ Mister Magic mixed with Ohio Players/Skin Tight and Chaka Kahn/Sweet Thing mixed with Screaming Jay Hawkins/Put A Spell on You. Those records to me just did not go well together and there are other combinations that did not work well with each other.
I expected far more of Premiers sharp cuts and scratches with some good mixing and blending but he only delivered about 75%. Perhaps my expectations were all wrong, maybe the intention was to just play records and give homage to some older songs. In most cases especially toward the end of both CD's many of the songs were pretty much just played with out any DJ'ing. In fact some of the cuts, scratches and blends that were present, seemed to be a little sloppy and off beat.
The second CD mixed by Mr. Thing was pretty much the same, although he played Hip Hop records there was very little DJ'ing... he just pretty much played the songs as well.
Overall, I like the concept. Giving props to the people/groups that made the songs that many artist have sampled from over the years. Then to follow up on the second CD with some real hip hop joints. I liked 99% of the songs that were selected for both CD's. I am not too familiar with Mr. Thing but I expected far more from DJ Premier.

The Chapter 2 world domination of the underground cd's.......2006-06-12
This is a 4 and a half cd. It is not completely underground cd. Some songs are newer. Sleep is one of the best rap songs I have ever heard. I is hauntingly beautiful especially the chorus that woman singing is a surprise. She sounds ghosty. Grab the gage is the second best song. It is hard as hell. Fo da summa rexix is tight so is powder, there ode to blow. Most songs are good I won't name them all. This good cd to pick up if you want to know what 3 6 sounded like when they where the triple 6 mafia. Solid release wish they still sounded like this, but ow well. Also pick up THE KAZE another tight prophet entertainment release. Peace.
3-6 kings of the south not that pinhead bitch T.I........2005-08-03
most the songs are tight like, f what u heard,memphis remix(thight azz beat),summa remix hell yhea, powder mmmmm beat, grab tha gauge makes you go crazy,Love to make a stang (hook from lord infamous in tear da clup up thugs on big bussniz),but i think sleep is by far the best song on this cd
Dope Cd!.......2005-07-16
This cd is a good collection to go with anyones hypnotized records collection, it brings it back to the days back in Memphis where three six mafia started out. lots of hot flows, wicked course lines, and some bomb ass beats, that only the supa producers could bring you. Dj Paul and Juicy J do it right with the beats on the real...so go out and get this killer cd!!
PEACE

Kmk 4 life.......2006-06-12
This is a great album to smoke a bowl to. Hidden Stash has got tracks from their First Ep "Stoners Reeking Havoc" and some other tracks that were b-sides left off the "Royal Highness" sessions. Also this was the split of Saint cuz of creative differences. I liked Saint but they work better with JR. That's my personal opinion tho. Sweet release but not their best. If you a fan get it!
old school kmk.......2005-09-25
bought this album back when it first came out, finally decided to review it. this album is not their best, but it still is an awsome album. who really cares why saint left, he's back now and sounded allright on subnoize soujaz. the best tracks on here are: frontline, (old) so high, roll it up, everyday, and freaks. this is a great album to just sit back and get high to. if you haven't got this, it's a must have for any kmk fan. however, if you're just starting to get into kmk, i would suggest high society, and hidden stash 2, those are the best kmk albums. also check out the judge, big b, dirtball, kingspade. subnoize is better than anything else out there right now.
Hidden Stash.......2005-07-31
alright yall the people who are sayin that your not a true fan if u dont know the whole history of KMK and what order their cd's cameout in your just stupid as hell. im sure if any of the kings heard you say that they would slap ya upside ya stupid ass heads.now onto the review.
this cd is great im not a huge fan of saint but this is still a great cd. it shows alot of juggalo love so that just makes it that much fresher.
stay down 4 ya krown
peace
2nd only to stoners reaking havoc.......2005-03-01
as far as kmk cd's go, this is their second one, but their first one that was on a major lable. who cares what happened to saint, when he was with kings they had some of their best and layed the foundation for what is now a diansty, shure there was beef o well with his help this cd rules all, freaks of the industry, love songs, and pimp twist are da bomb hands down! so go to bed and get some sleep UR DONE
Saint Dog is Crap!.......2004-06-25
You guys are idiots! Saint dog wanted more songs to be ghetto hip hop because he thought he was black. KMK wanted to keep it real. Have you heard Saints new album "Ghetto Guide"? That fool is strictly a wannabe.

Another Great KMK Album.......2007-06-14
You get 36 chronic songs and a full-length DVD. This deal is off the hook.
You also get tracks with subnoize artists with KMK members.
Is it the Best? No.... But not bad at all.......2006-12-04
Ok... Now I am not going to go out here and say its the greatest cd ever released by the Kings, but it is better than a lot of [...] that is getting released....
You have 2 cds, and a DVD full of contente. Sure the cds are not "KMK only", but that is because this was released as a way for the group to expose to people works that they had either never released or were done with the other SuburbanNoize Records artists... Unlike the other reviewer who said there are some songs on here that do not feature KMK artists he is wrong. Every song has at least one of the members of KMK on it...
As for tracks on here and even the last couple of albums sounding less punk that is not a bad thing. The Kings are able to go out with these tracks and pull in fans who are more 'hiphop' induced and pull them back into the "riphop" sound... The last few albums have been more underground rap than a lot of people like, but I am going to tell you this right now...
Kottonmouth Kings are still going to be around and they are adapting their style to the times... They have 'gangstad' out their style, but they are more rap; because they do know it sells and will get their message out and partied to a lot more...
by the way you can always listen to their older stuff if you have the cds... gott evolve and not sound the same all the time...
What happened to the Kings?!.......2006-11-30
Man, this CD is not what I was expecting. After Rollin Stoned, they have been losing the punk - rock - rap style. Little guitar riffs and they changed it into underground rap. Kind of Crunk, underground rap. I guess it's more mainstream but I'd rather listen to their old stuff. High Society is their best Album. Rollin Stoned is pretty good too. Oh well, new sound but I'm still gonna go to their concerts cause they get the crowd rowdy!!! d[-_-]b
Not exactly a KmK release.......2006-11-30
Ok this review isn't gonna be very long. First and foremost, this is more like a Subnoize Souljas release, because most of the songs feature other subnoize artists, and a lot of the songs don't even have the Kings in them. Anway, i took off one star for that reason. I was expecting a lot of KmK songs, especially a lot of old ones that hadn't been released yet. Unfortunately, there were only a few. And i LOVE High Society, i think the Kings were at their best back then. Anyway, i took off another star because a lot of these songs have already been released. I can name at least half or more of the songs from this cd that have been on a subnoize souljas cd. To me, that's just either getting lazy, or just an attempt to put out enough stuff as you can in order to make more money. It's still a good cd though, even though i don't listen to many other subnoize artists, cuz they don't really stand out to me. If you're just getting into KmK, get High Society.
Track Highlights in a best to worst order are: Still Smokin, Karma(which was obviously recorded during High Society, the Kings' peak), Police Story, and Gone Get High.

Album Description
True to BBE's tradition of releasing compilations compiled by Hip Hop and Soul's most forward thinking producers, they have enlisted the Wu Tang Clan's RZA for the second installment of their new "Kings of" series. Along for the ride is the original "Legendary of Deep Funkster", DJ Keb Darge sharing duties on this 2xCD set of hard-to-find classics.
Keb Darge has been passionate about music since birth, in the 70's, he was a regular visitor to legendary `Northern Soul' (a term which is attributed to Godin) nights at The Wigan Casino, in the 80's he turned his attention to funk, and is solely responsible for the Deep Funk movement. RZA is a member of Wu Tang Clan, an actor (Coffee & Cigarettes, Rhyme & Reason) and film composer (Kill Bill Vol I, Ghost Dog -The Way of The Samurai).
The Kings of... series releases are homages, not to `lost' musical genres, but to music that `fits' within a specific genre, which may have either been forgotten, or may only be remembered for the first time. This compilation serves up some of the most badass funk tunes you've ever heard!
Customer Reviews:
The Kings of Funk Reign Supreme.......2005-04-21
The second installment of BBE's "Kings Of..." series is a fine piece of work. It compares in a lot of ways to Keb Darge's "Funk Spectrum Series". Similarly the album's tracks are split up between Darge and a legendary guest. The songs are always hard to find obscurities that never really got much play when they were released. He's a certified perfectionist when it comes to digging up "lost" tracks - just check his track record on Amazon.
In the past Darge has teamed up with renowned crate-diggers/producers DJ Shadow and Pete Rock. For "Kings Of Funk" Darge shares the spotlight with the RZA, who is known for his use of uncommon samples from both music and films in his Hip-Hop productions. While the average music fan might not associate RZA for his crate digging abilities and more so for his involvement in the Wu-Tang Clan, any true head has known he's got a phenomenal ear for music. His sampling skills involve tracks so rare and implicit that they become almost unrecognizable amidst the full production.
All right, enough about their credentials... without a doubt this is an excellent collection of tracks, mostly thanks to the RZA's selections. RZA's disc (the first one) might be the best out of any in the "Funk Spectrum" series or for that matter any funk/soul compilations in the BEE catalogue. Of his 40 mins of funk, 95% is outstanding. Hank Ballard's "From the Love Side" gets the album off to a funky James Brown esq. kick-start. RZA's disc contains four incredible instrumentals: "Jasper Country Men", "Ain't No Sunshine", "Climax", and the 8 min epic "Melting Pot". The latter two are definitely the best, just straight up funky jam sessions. Ken Boothe shows some reggae/funk that Bob Marely would be proud of on "Because I'm Black". A live version of Lyn Collins' "Do Your Thing" is simply powerful (blowing the more familiar Isaac Hayes version out of the water!). Ann Peebles brings it all to a tremendous close on a track that's just laced with famous hip-hop samples (I recognize the guitar part in particular, but I'm still trying to figure out from where, I'll put it up soon).
Really the only fault is Sly & The Family Stone's "Small Talk", mostly because it suffers from a loud crying baby throughout its entirety. But, that small misstep aside, the RZA's disc is a perfect collection of rare funk tracks.
(Note: The track listing above is incorrect. Neither Jimmy Ponder's "While My Guitar" & the Ohio Players "Singing In The Morning" appear on either disc.)
Keb Darge's disc is pretty good. Most of the tracks on this disc fall in the middle of the road - laid back and chill. There aren't as many simply stunning stand out tracks like RZA's disc, but it serves its purpose quite nicely and is easily enjoyable. A few do make you stop and listen up. Sharon Jones's swagger hits the funky groove of "Genuine" to perfection. Zebra's "Simple Song" and MFSB's menacing "Family Affair" are two excellent instrumentals (excluding four lines in the former). The album also ends on two superb soulful jams "Will You Love My Child" and the memorable lyrics of Dee Edwards on "(I Can) Deal With That". The rest of the second disc is by no means weak, but to Keb's credit, he's been putting together collections for a number of years and has probably used his best offerings long ago. The remaining four, satisfy but aren't unforgettable.
BEE went the extra step and did a tremendous job with packaging "Kings of Funk". It has excellent liner notes, with full descriptions of the tracks as well as Keb's personal opinions on each. The two disc package costs as if it was only one. Both hip-hop sample heads and funk/soul fans will love this collection. So, you're probably running out of reasons not to get this album. Don't resist too much, cause it's one of the best collections of rare funk/soul tracks out there.
The RZA's Disc: (9.5/10)
Keb Darge's Disc: (8/10)
Overall Package: (9/10)

Zip Gun Bop.......2004-06-28
The first album from Royal Crown Revue, pioneers of Neo-Swing and kings of gangster bop. Sound is not that big, but they are fabulous anyway! Here you'll find original Zip Gun Bop and Hey Pachuco!. Daydreamin' is a wonderful vocal ballad. Eddie Nichols sounds fabulous, Stern brothers (Adam-bass, Mark-drums and Jamie-alto sax) with Mando Dorame and James Achor too.
Primo!.......1998-09-24
Lacking the brass of Scott Steen, this album still is quite near perfection. "Stormy Weather" is classic, and "Cold Shower" is insanely fast and fun. "Swingin' All Day" makes you want to do just that. Not the best of their releases, but still a must-have.
A Great Start.......1998-08-31
This album swings from start to finish. They do indeed prove themselves to be the kings of the gangster bop. If you enjoy "Mugzy's Move", you need to hear this predicessor.
Before they were stars..........1998-07-20
If you want to know what the boys of RCR were doing before "Mugzy's Move," check this out. It doesn't swing quite as hard as their later work, but they've still got that jive going that will make your toes tap all day long. If you're a true fan of the band, this is a must have: it's got "Stormy Weather" and the early versions of "Hey, Pachuco" and "Zip Gun Bop." If you're just getting into RCR, or swing altogether, it's a great buy, too. They are the quintessential neo-swing band.
