Awesome CD.......2007-06-30

This was byfar one of the best CDs released in the 90s considering there was TLC, SWV, EnVogue and Jade dominating the airwaves. Also, Destiny's Child was bubbling under over at Sony around this time. My personal preference during this era was SWV.

It is rare that you can listen to a CD from start to finish. Like most reviewers stated there isn't that million dollar jam on it that sticks out from the rest but collectively it's a good listen.

Now that I think about So So Def has always put out a quality product but has been lax when it came to promotions. For all the music the label put out in the 90s I don't think any artist every reached double platinum. This really could have been a top selling CD with at least 2 or 3 Grammy nominations.

Good one.......2007-01-05

This CD is good but not as good as the previous one. Still, a good one to have for the collection.

Avoid the sophmore slump.......2005-11-29

Xscape's follow up was released back in the fall of 1995 when I was in eight grade. I remeber all the girls used to go crazy over Who Can I Run To but there were other killer slow jams like Work Me Slow and Do You Want To.

OFF THE HOOK .......2005-10-08

THIS ALBUM IS A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY QUIET STORM COLLECTION. THE BALLADS ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL. EACH LADY IN THE GROUP CAN SING AND THAT IS PRETTY AMAZING SINCE MOST GROUPS ONLY ALLOW ONE LEAD WHICH OFTEN GETS BORING AFTER A WHILE. I WOULD STRONGLY RECCOMMEND THIS ALBUM.

Escape with Xscape.......2005-10-03

"Off the Hook" is a must have for R&B lovers. This album has some of modern R&B's esstential songs such as "Who Can I Run To?" and "Do You Want To?" Xscape hails from Atlanta and recorded this album while on SoSo Def Records. They got the name "Xscape" from a hair salon that they frequent in Atlanta. This group is definitely one of the most memorable R&B groups of the 1990's. Their harmony is a very good one and they had a successful career.
I enjoy this album each time I listen to it. They are vocally strong and consistent and their lyrics are also very nice. They are quite sexual on this album, which is fine, because they are definitely tasteful. An example of this being "Work Me Slow". Though the ladies are blatant, they have a certain amount of class about themselves, something R&B fans knows is growing more and more rare with the passing of time. "Feels So Good" is one of the album's better cuts, although everything about it is rather simple, including the lyrics, production and vocals. It's a nice mid-tempo track to follow opening cut "Do Your Thang", also a good song. "Do You Want To?" is a nice ballad and one of the songs that this album will be remembered for. This song is about a woman wanting to make love to her man, and she wonders if he, too, wants to. The group showcased some of their best vocals on this song, maybe their best song vocally. "Who Can I Run To" is just beautiful. LaTocha does a great job leading the group in this song. The song is a ballad and received a lot of airplay; music listeners loved it. "Love's a Funny Thing" and "Keep it on the Real", while both decent, are not the best way to end an album. Traditionally, an R&B album is ended with a ballad, I guess they wanted to be innovative.
The good truly outweighs the bad in this album, but there are a few mentionable errors. The songs on this album are basically all the same tempo, and for many, that would make quite a boring and bland album. Also, the group needs to let Tiny, Kandi and Tamkea sing just a little more and LaTocha needs to back them more often. She does have a nice voice, but so does the rest of Xscape.
All in all I really like this album and I would say to potential buyers, go ahead and invest in this one, it's a keeper.

Mikeisha's Top 5

1. "Who Can I Run To?"

Proud 2B Black.......2005-01-07

This CD makes me proud 2B Black b/c we can laugh at ourselves. Me and my friends purchased the CDs and shared with members of our law firm...it was too funny. People were closing office doors to laugh without getting called out by the partners. Some of the most stuffy,religious and moody people talked about the CD being the best prank calls ever. Why do people stay on the phone to get pranked at this level?

Rickey At His Best!.......2004-11-18

#1, I'd like to start off by saying Rickey doesn't get the props he deserves for his comedy.

The tracks that aren't listed are the ones that weren't really amusing.

01. Intro (7/10) - A guy starts laughing like he can't stop. Definatly a ear opener.

02. We Miss Robert (10/10) - The song he performed on comic view. Very funny, also, there are other verses in the song.

03. Melba (Part 1) (9/10) - He calls this lady about her son disrespecting one of the women on the missionary society and saying she raised him wrong. It's the arguments we love!

04. Riding Spinners (9/10) - This is good too. He calls the rim place as Grandma and tells the sells guy he needs to pay her for the damages of her car because she saw the spinners and thought the light was green. Real good one.

06. Melba (Part 2) (9/10) - Same thing, still funny.

08. Granny Viagra (9/10) - Good one. He calls and asked for something other than viagra because it's too expensive, then starts telling the clerk she still likes it hardcore. Real funny.

09. Melba (Part 3) (8/10) - The last Melba prank. It's ok.

11. Miss Virginia (9/10) - Again, Granny calls Virginia and tells her that her daughter stapped on her shoes and she raised her wrong. Funny stuff.

14. Epson Salt (10/10) - Another "Sweet Milk" prank. Hilarious, one of my favorites.

15. Miss Virginia (Part 2) (10/10) - My favorite Virginia prank. Granny calls and asked Virginia can she pay $75 to replace the shoes her daughter messed up, and when she refuses, Granny starts praying that she'll pay the money for the shoes and asking God to forgive Virginia for not raising Gale or Nadine right. Hilarious!!!!

16. Eye Doctor (8/10) - He almost messed this one up by laughing. Granny's eye fell out and she wants to know if they can use or she should throw it away. Funny

17. Rap C.D.'s (9/10) - This is one of the highlights of the album. Granny is calling borders to get some c.d.'s. A good one.

18. Miss Virginia (Part 3) (10/10) - When Rickey calls to apologize to Virginia, she gets pissed off and tells Rickey she doesn't play jokes on people and if she had been close to him, she would've blown his Godd@mn brains out. Really funny.

21. Alcohol Abuse Hotline (9/10) - This one I overlooked. It's hilarious when the guy calls the hotline and tries to say requirement. It's another one to get used to.

23. Tom Joyner and SWA (8/10) - Granny's trying to get plane tickets and she being irrational to the lady. It's really funny.

24. Buford the Repo Man (10/10) - This one got my full attention once I listened to the whole c.d. Buford calls Nadine she says she needs to pay her car note cause she's on welfare. She cusses him so bad, it's unbearable. Back and forth, with her country accent, your side's split on this track!

26. My A** (10/10) - Absolute comedy! A guy calls the vet and tells the people his mule is sick and he wants to know if they can come check on that ass. It's tooooooo funny.

27. Pest Control (100/100) - Ok, When I heard this track, not only were my sides splitting, but I was drolling all over myself. Granny calls pest control and says she's being attacked a roach because she killed the female while they were mating. OMG, this track is the reason for the entire album.

28. The Rat (9/10) - Fabulous! Some guy calls this girl and tells her she's responable for the damages in her home, which were there when she moved in. And she keeps hanging up, it's a side splitter.

Please do yourself a favor and purchase this album and the rest of Rickey's albums. You won't be dissapointed

Great mix with poor sound quality.......2004-07-13

The tracks and mixing on this disc are phenomenal! Donald Glaude never bores the listener - his selection is bumpin, with plenty of buildups and breakdowns. To me, some standout tracks are "Catch Da Monkey" by Atomic Babies and "Freaque" by Andy Trex and Commander Tom. The former has some of the funkiest synths ever towards the end of the track and the latter you just cant help but jump up to when the drums kick in fully.

The reason I gave this mix only 4 stars is due to the sound quality of the recording. It is muffled and a bit flat. I really don't understand how this got past quality control at Moonshine or whatever.. Donald's other mixes are crystal clear, and those are recorded live. If you can overlook the poor sound quality (I know I can) all you have to do, as the beginning of the CD instructs, is "sit back, relax, and enjoy."

If you like funky hard house..........2001-07-21

BUY THIS NOW!!! This is definitely one of my favorite albums.

Donald Glaude tears it up... but 10X better live........2001-06-23

Im from the Seattle area, and am lucky enough to see Glaude spin as often as I want to. Hes at virtually every party every weekend here in seattle, and his energy constantly tears up the dance floor with his pumped-up house tracks. Still... this album doesnt do DG enough justice. The sound quality is a little shotty (Moonshine?), and he can do just so much better live. But you say, well he only has one album out?!? WRONG! Tomorrow (June 23, 2001), Glaude comes out with a new album in stores called Mixed Live. I had the opportunity to preview it and its BANGIN. Its one of the best house albums ive ever heard, check that one out if u want to hear what everyone has been talking about when they say Glaude will be the next big international House DJ! Peace.

The title says it............2000-02-28

Donald is just one of the best DJ's around and he displays just some of his talent on this CD. He knows how to pump up a crowd and this CD definetly will pump you up. I will admit, however, if you are looking for just what he does live, you might not like it as much. But the beats are tight and when I play it at parties I usually have people come up to me and ask what it is cause they like it and a few actually go out and buy it. Donald is the man, and yes, see him live.

Donald is always off the hook!.......2000-02-11

I agree that Donald Gluade is one of the most phenominal djs in the world.I just saw him spin at Buzz in D.C. are he tore the roof off.He definetly gets the crowd rollin and rockin.If you ask me I think this cd is one of the best progressive house cds out.So pick the cd up and rock your speakers like he rocks the speakers at the club.

KJJO remembered.......2005-06-29

Tommy and Amy, of the Mags, were good friends of KJJO 104.1 in those days and their support of each other is appreciated by those of us who love the alt movement in whatever era or plane of existence. I have recordings of the last days of KJJO before it was taken over by the National Socialist Neo cons of corporate country radio, (KBOB 104!!), which lasted not so long, but those last nights of KJJO in Mpls MN back in 1993 will live in this listeners head till I am laid to rest. Years from now the voices of Steven, Shelley, Robin, BT, the Lightning Cow, Mad Mike, etc., will echo from my head stone.
Long live Mags,
Long live KJJO. Goodnight, God bless.

Brillant Lost Classic.......2001-06-11

This is an absolutely amazing punk/power pop record. The guitars blaze, the melodies are hook-filled, and the vocals are enthusiastic. If you're a fan of early Replacements or Soul Asylum, this is a CD you will want in your record collection.

Here is a map, where are the magnolias ?.......2001-05-20

Before i moved to minneapolis, in 1991, I had to check the local scene. Of course, Husker Du and the Mats had been there. Soul Asylum was about to enjoy their biggest commercial success..and then were the Magnolias (with Labelmates yo-La-tengo, and the sneetches on Alias records). Three essential albums were made on Alias in the early 90's, Off-The-hook is one of the three. "When I'm not" was the best song written in 92. The Magnolias, while they got me to move to minneapolis, never got themselves on the map. Nevermind. They still play. Who said day jobs were that bad. If you are reading this, you have to get this album.

Best CD you've never heard.......1999-10-17

the Mags never pause, slow down, or idle as they play delightfully infectious punk pop. John Freeman's trick is simple - he knows how to write a hook. The Magnolias shoulda been the next big thing. They're loud, they're fast. And they rule.

My Review when Now goes "Off the Hook".......2004-11-25

Ok, this is a pretty good complicaton of Hip-Hop & R&B hits. It features some new artists, as well as well-known ones. It a good mix music wise with ballads to strong raps of 01-02. I was pretty suprised, I thought I wouldn't like this album, but I did. The thing I didn't like is that you could hear these hits often on the radio. Otherwise, it's a great investment, just as long as you don't have any house deposits. (LOL)

More Or Less Off The Hook.......2004-10-18

The phenomenal sucess of "Now That's What I Call Music!" has given the series a pass to put out a variety of diferent albums. "Off The Hook" comes from the same labels (EMI, Universal, Sony and Zomba), and creates an R&B/Rap compilation. The result is an "all urban 'NOW'" that collects popular singles from late '01/early '02. The album is really hit or miss because come of the singles are not exactly the choiciest ones:
(1) Jermaine Dupri feat. Ludacris "Welcome To Atlanta" A. The fact that both JD and Luda are from Atlanta makes this song ring very true. The two of them collaborate with true conviction to create a fast paced dance track about their home city.
(2) B2K "Uh Huh" A+. A perfect example how of the positive direction R&B is taking. This is catchy, infectious, cool and polished with a great production. The standard substance even takes on as new life and feels refreshing. A great single, pure and simple.
(3) Jagged Edge feat. Nas "I Got It 2" A-. Jagged Edge deserves credit for being able to do Soul and Hip-Hop with the same sttyle and grace. This track is a slick hip-hop tune with some hot lyrics from Nas and smooth vocals from Jagged Edge.
(4) Lil' Bow Wow "Take Ya Home" D+. Why did JD sign this kid at such a young age? His work has improved drasticly as hes gotten older, but the early stuff was nothing more than a inmature and annoying. This song is no exception either, its just terrible.
(5) Aaliyah "More Than A Woman" B. The late Aaliyah recorded some great tracks, this is not one of them. Her voice doesn't work that well here because it distances the listen, and when the song ends it's not that memorable because the beat goes nowhere.
(6) Mystikal "Bouncin' Back (Bumpin' Me Against The Wall)" B-. It all comes down to a simple fact: Mystikal's voice is not very pleasant. This song has some saving graces in that the lyrics are somewhat entertaining and the horn arrangments are brilliant on their own.
(7) Joe "Let's Stay Home Tonight" A-. It's nice to know that Joe is out there doin traditional R&B. He sings this song with true emotion that seeps into the listener as well. The end result is a wonderful oldfashioned R&B tune that strikes some chords.
(8) J-Lo feat. Ja Rule "I'm Real" (Murder Remix) A. One of the rare remixes that equals the original. It's almost a completely differnt song than the original, but works terrifically with some unique lyrics, a catchy beat and Irv Gotti's slick production. A very good listen.
(9) Nas "One Mic" A. Easily Nas' best song EVER. A very celicate combination of chilling beats and deep, powerful lyrics give the track true emotion, power and depth. The long running time isnt even noticed because the song is so captivating to the ears.
(10) Glenn Lewis "Don't You Forget It" C. A well made R&B performance that just never breaks any molds. The song is made competently, but we've heard the same material many time before and this isn't that memorable.
(11) Ruff Endz "Someone To Love You" C. Same as #10.
(12) Keke Wyatt feat. Avant "Nothing In This World" C. An R&B track from an atrist who is trying to imitate people like Jill Scott and Erykah Badu. The only problem is that she lacks the originaliy that those artists had and falls back on standard material
(13) City High "City High Anthem" B+. A good view at City High's R&B side that has a certain depthy and dimension to it. It makes a good companion with P.O.D.'s "Youth Of The Nation", but isn't quite as fun memorable as "What Would You Do"
(14) India.Arie. "Video" B+. What a refreshing breeze to see someone who's not afraid to be themself. As a single this is very important, meaningful and unique. Interesting lyrics and a defined purpose make this a very entertaining listen.
(15) Angie Stone "Wish I Didn't Miss You" A-. Standard material is given a new sound through some striking lyrics and a haunting beat. Angie's voice also has a certain quality to that makes anything she sings sound compelling and deep.
(16) Janet feat. Missy Elliot "Son Of A Gun" B-. Janet and Missy Elliot contribute alot to the song with energy and well side striking lyrics. Yet, the song never takes off because the beat is just too manic and the song really doesn't have any direction to go in.
(17) N.E.R.D. feat. Lee Harvey and Vita "Lapdance" B. A fun dance/rap track that has alot of energy and craft in it's making. The song is fun, yes, but it could have been alot more had the Neptunes tried harder, and Vita's voice is just not very appealing.
(18) Mr. Cheeks "Light, Camera, Action!" A. The song seems so standard, yet is so entertaining that it becomes a quite impressive debut single. Tight lyrics, killer beats and a top notch production make this a highly enjoyable and infectious dance/rap single.
(19) Petey Pablo "Raise Up" (All Cities Remix) C+. For some reason, this was hailed as an inventive rap, but it has too many problems. The lyrics are pretty standard, his voice is not very entertaining and the beat is not very good. If nothing else the song has some true energy to it.
(20) Naughty By Nature feat. 3LW "Feels Good (Don'y Worry Bout A Thing" A. A hip hop group that hsas remained on top for years just by doing their own style. Their latest work is a fun, cool and catchy single that passes into both the rap AND pop genres. 3LW sounds terrific as well, as we get two good groups doing what they do best.
Bottom Line: **1/2. The album includes some very good singles, but they are punctuated by sub-standard ones. Where are great singles like "Saturday (Ooh! Ooh!)", "No More Drama", "We Right Here" and "Gone". A fact worthy of mention: I understand why the regular "NOWs" are all edited; but this is an all urban one, thus it would make sense if there was an exlicit version as well. The album is very flawed, but might be worth a listen for the really good tracks.

My Review for: Off The Hook.......2004-05-01

Awsome mix of rap & r&b!! I said my predictions for an Off The Hook 2 last time, and, now ill write the song ratings for this this time!

1, Jermaine Dupri featuring Ludacris- Welcome To Atlanta (4/5) Not the best at all, but, nice collabo. JD always produces good songs.
2. B2K- Uh Huh (4/5) B2K's first song. Its pretty sad to see them broke up already.
3. Jagged Edge featuring Nas- I Got It 2 (5/5) I havent heard this for a while and forgot how it goes like, but, a good hip hop turn for JE, I remember!
4. Lil Bow Wow- Take You Home (3/5) An annoying Bow Wow song. Try harder!
5. Aaliyah- More Than A Woman (5/5) Ditto.
6. Mystikal- Bouncin Back (Bumpin Me Aginst The Wall) (5/5) Mystikal! I always love to hear him rap. Awsome song by him!
7. Joe- Let's Stay Home Tonight (4/5) Pretty good song by Joe. Not his best, but soulful.
8. Jennifer Lopez featuring Ja Rule- I'm Real (Remix) (5/5) One of the most overplayed songs of 2001, but, I still luv it!
9. Nas- One Mic (4/5) OK Nas song. Half decent. Too angry, though.
10. Glenn Lewis- Don't You Forget It (5/5) This guy is absolutley a 1 hit wonder. Great song.
11. Ruff Endz- Someone To love You (5/5) Awsome! One of da best on the album! I wonder what happend to these guys? Theyre very underrated and overlooked to me. Their other hit was No More, which I also dig.
12. Keke Wyatt featuring Avant- Nothing In This World (5/5) Awsome! Beautiful song! Pretty popular in 2002.
13. City High- City High Anthem (3/5) No thanks. Boring. Shouldnt be City High's anthem at all. Horrible choice. I still hope they come back, tho.
14. India Arie- Video (5/5) Very cool song! Much better than Brown Skin, and, this was pretty big for her.
15. Angie Stone- I Wish I Didn't Miss You (2/5) Stupid, pointless, boring! Angie, you have much better songs than this piece of crap.
16. Janet featuring Missy Eliot and Carly Simon- Son Of A Gun (I Betcha Thing This Song Is About You) (Remix) (4/5) Pretty dark song from Janet. Missy does good, also. I dont think Carly Simon's in this version.
17. N.E.R.D. featuring Vita and (I forgot)- Lapdance (5/5) Rockin NERD tune. Its pretty weird, but, cool also!
18. Mr. Cheeks- Lights, Camera, Action (5/5) Was on Now 9.
19. Petey Pablo- Raise Up (All Cities Remix) (4/5) Was on Now 9.
20. Naughty By Nature featuring 3LW- Feels Good (Don't Qorry Bout A Thing) (5/5) DAMN this song is awsome and cute! So is 3LW. Naughty By Nature are old school and back from retirement, too. Hahahahahaha

Buy it!

A decent compilation CD. Nothing more, nothing less........2004-02-22

There are some really good songs on this CD, but there are some truly terrible ones as well.

1. Jermaine Dupri & Ludacris - Welcome To Atlanta - This song gets old FAST. I hate whenever i play the CD, that i hear this song first. Ludacris sucks & J.D. is washed up. Terrible start for a decent album. (2/5)
2. B2K - "Uh Huh" They have no talent, they can't sing, & the lyrics are garbage. The rap in the middle...don't even get me started. That said, the beat is catchy. they're lucky they're cute. (2/5)
3. Jagged Edge feat. Nas - I Got It: This is one of my favorites on the album. I like the beat, & Jagged Edge always sounds good. Nas's rap is weaker than his usual, but it's fun so it's cool. (4.5/5)
4. Lil Bow Wow - Take Ya Home - Good song to dance to. He's cute. Average. (3/5)
5. Aaliyah - More Than A Woman- This is Aaliyah's best song. The beat is addictive & her vocals are great. She truly was more than a woman. (5/5)
6. Mystikal - Bouncin' Back - I like this song a lot too. The beat is good & it has a real New Orleans feel to it (i guess b/c he's from there). But I love this song. (5/5)
7. Joe - Let's Stay Home Tonight - This is a really good romantic song to listen to. It's not the best, but it's better than a lot of other ballads. I can listen to this song without pushing fast forward. (3.5/5)
8. Jennifer Lopez & Ja Rule - I'm Real (Remix) - This is the most obnoxious song of all time. J.Lo can't sing & Ja Rule can't rap. The beat is good, but this song is horrible. (1/5)
9. Nas - One Mic - This song has a good meaning & Nas actually says something worthwhile on this song, but it's skippable. (3/5)
10. Glenn Lewis - I Love this song. You've heard it on the radio. It's a likeable song that you won't get tired of. (4.5/5)
11. Ruff Endz - Terrible. Wasn't a hit. Why is it on here? (1/5)
12. Keke Wyatt feat. Avant - Bad song except the intro. It's a decent duet. Keke Wyatt's voice is way stronger than Avant's though. Oh well, this could have been left off. Again, not a HIT, so it shouldn't be on the CD.(1/5)
13. City High - City High Anthem - This ISN'T WHAT WOULD YOU DO. DON'T GET EXCITED. CITY HIGH ANTHEM ISN'T WHAT WOULD YOU DO. But this song sucks. It has a good meaning, but it's a bad song. (1/5)
14. India.Arie - Video - I like her, but this song seems out of place on this album. I wish they would have put "Brown Skin" on instead. (2/5)
15. Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You - I hated this song at the beginning, but it grew on me & now i really like it. Angie Stone has a great voice & it's a great mellow song. (5/5)
16. Janet Jackson feat. Missy Elliot - The version with P.Diddy is better. This one is Okay. (2.5/5)
17. N.E.R.D. - Lapdance - This song has no business on the CD. This is a rock song, no way around it. It sucks anyway. We don't hear this garbage. Take it off. (0/5).
18. Mr. Cheeks - Lights, Camera, Action! - Catchy song that gets people crazy in the club. Mr. Cheeks has an OK flow. (3.5/5)
19. Petey Pablo - Raise Up - This is the all cities version which isn't as good as the real one. But it still is good with a good beat. (4/5)
20. Naughty By Nature & 3LW - Feels Good - This song is okay. (3.5/5)

not 2 wice an album.......2005-04-15

I bought this album at the boarder in Germany, don't know why, I haven't heard of him before, it was cheap and I needed some music to the bustrip....
well, it's a very weird CD, the only tracks that are good are "Whut Dew U Mean", "No Slang", "Burnin' Krypt" & "Can You Feel Dis", the rest is less than nothing.... an' what's with all the slang words?? "Wuz Craculatin'" "Whut Dew - What Do" "4 Da Bit@*es" a.s.o. a.s.o. it's (...), don't buy it... save your money for the forthcoming album "Be" from Common, it's gonna be sweet

Album Description

OFF DA' HOOK is a latin music group whose style can be categorized in the genre that is known as "Reggaeton.". The group, based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, consists of nine members: Cele, Little, Fantasma, Rock One, Yello Spic Nolli, Jei, Blackan, Katiro and Kilo's. The Off Da' Hook sound is unique because it incorporates a wide variety of musical influences mixed in with Reggaeton such as Salsa, Hip-Hop, Rock and Pop. Examples of this alchemy can be heard on songs like "Si a ti te Gusta".

The future is looking bright for Off Da' Hook. Not only are they concentrating on promoting their current release Off Da' Hook, they have already written 17 songs for the follow up CD. Like Off Da' Hook, there will be a fusion of Reggaeton with other styles, of course a la Off Da' Hook style. Furthermore, DJ Goldy and DJ Raymond are working on the project and collaborating on material.

A Wonderful Diversity.......2006-05-21

Another magnificent array of songs. Classic, Cajun, Blues and Beautiful Waltzes. A master violinist and a very tight band all with great solos. As the CD reads "irresistibly infectious grooves". An excellent CD by far.
