Hip Hop Forever, Vol. 2 [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
The incredible DJ Jazzy Jeff presents the second installment of one of the best loved hip hop compilations of all time. The legendary first volume of Hip Hop Forever was mixed by Kenny Dope of Masters At Work fame and now DJ Jazzy Jeff is set to raise the bar with his star-studded collection. Classic hip hop, hard to find jams and new favorites are all represented and mixed as only DJ Jazzy Jeff can. Hip Hop Forever has commanded respect from hip hop heads old and new, the series' UK launch party in 1998 was hosted by hip hop legends Marley Marl and Pete Rock.

After releasing his amazing artist album The Magnificent in 2002, it was inevitable that we would present to the world DJ Jazzy Jeff's first official mix CD. Those of you who saw DJ Premier, Grandmaster Flash, Kid Capri and DJ Jazzy Jeff's tribute to Jam Master Jay at the BET awards last year will remember how Jeff received a standing ovation. It is this uncanny ability to move a crowd coupled with unprecedented turntable wizardry that is captured on volume two of Hip Hop Forever.

For the collectors, this very special installation of Hip Hop Forever will be available as a mixed full-length CD as well as in limited edition, un-mixed 2xCD. Regardless of which format you choose, sit back and enjoy a fine mix by possible the greatest hip hop DJ of all time. A great mix of old, new, classic and fine obscurities from artists including: Nas, Raekwon, Cypress Hill, Pete Rock, Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest and Jaylib.

I got blind sided by this.......2006-04-16

I was completely thrown off gaurd by this album.Who would of thought that the Fresh Princes dj could put together a sick album like this.The man can dj people.The line up is sick and the cutting is above par.This is an official mixtape.This is not a compilation people.Peep the samples of the tracks he used.Check out his execution on the tables.Albums tight.Cop it

The Foundation!!!.......2006-04-01

If you are new to hip hop music or just wanting a great hip hop compilation, this LP is highly recommended. These are essential artists/songs to check out. Especially, when ya have one of the illest DJ's mixin' & chopin' it up.

Jazzy Jeff has long been my favorite DJ. I've been following his work since '86 and it does my heart good to hear cats like Jeff still tearing it up. The tracks all range from the early to mid 90's and includes various bangers and some of them are pretty obscure like the "Can't Stop The Prophet" Pete Rock remix or O.C's classic "Times Up". I really don't have to go into much detail. Just look at the track listing, it speaks for itself. You already know how Jeff flawlessly blends tracks, so the rest is a no brainer.

The only flaw (if you can call it that) I could find on the album was the fact that some of the songs were censored (like "Made U Look"). It was a small distraction, but a distraction nevertheless.

Hip Hop Forever Vol. II is more than worth owning. If you haven't heard it by now, quit cheating yourself and buy it. Jeff has been my favorite since day 1 and he has yet to let me down.

Standout Tracks: Electric Relaxation, How Many Emcees (My Favorite), Times Up, Buck 'Em Down (Beatminerz Remix), Braggin' Writes, Made U Look, Square One, Can't Stop The Prophet (Pete Rock Remix), Live At The BBQ, and Words I Manifest

True Turntabling.......2005-05-09

Excellent comp from J the man who invented transformer scratching. As well as a first class line up the mixing in this is second to none. Never heard scrathing this mad on a CD.

The man deserves twice as much acclaim compared to Will Smith as he isnt a sell out and keeps it real.

By this CD and get educated!!!!

Only the Philly Heads Would Understand.............2005-05-06

Once again....Jazzy Jeff has proved he is the best Hip Hop DJ in the world. From listening to this CD to seeing a live set in Philly, he educates a crowd like knowone else.

The only flaws I could find on the album was the fact that some of the songs were censored (like "Made U Look"). Also, some of the songs on the mixed version aren't available on the second disc. I have the missing songs on wax and CD, but these are pretty obscure songs and the average head will be very disappointed that they aren't here with the other songs.

Hip Hop Forever Vol. II is more than worth owning. If you haven't heard it by now, quit cheating yourself and buy it. Jeff has been my favorite since day 1 and he has yet to let me down.

Mixed CD vs. Limited Edition.......2004-05-28

Ok, the original mixed cd version of this was great. Just great classic tracks from (or at least staying true to) the golden era of Hip-Hop. After listening to this version and herd that the Limited offered an Unmixed Cd as well, I was excited to have many of these great tracks in full form as well. Unfortunatly, somehow all of the songs on the mixed cd DO NOT appear at all on the unmixed disc. Why???? I have no clue. Either Jeff wanted to include more tracks or what, i have no idea. Surprisingly enough it takes away more than it does help. It's especially dissapointing to see Jeru's Can't Stop the Prophet Remix (which is hard to find) replaced with the original version that everyone can get on his album. Other tracks you might be dissapointed not to find in full form are:
I.N.I. - Square One
Phife Dawg - Flawless
Wildchild feat. Vinia Mojica - Party U
J-Live - Braggin' Writes
The Pharcyde - Drop

I don't wanna take anything away from the Original Mixed version of this cd, which is outstanding, but buyers should be weary of some surprises.

Wow you must buy this album.......2004-05-21

YEAH YEAH he's back with all the scratchin, the hip-hop sound and all the greatest track hip-hop knows. Jazzy bring us to the source, the point of start, scratchin, beats, mc and a lot of great MC.
