Customer Reviews:

Woo Hoo!.......2007-05-07

This is by far the best CD in the Baby Einstein collection--it will put your toddler in hyperactive playful mode and exhaust you as you try to keep up. But for today's overweight, tv- and game- addicted children, this is great!

Einstein.......2007-04-09

Anything that has an Einstein in the title my twins love. I used to play this for them at night while they slept.

The baby danced........2007-03-09

I gave Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box to a little boy on his first birthday. He loves it and dances and dances to the music.

A Lot of Fun for Playtime.......2006-01-04

This CD is a lot of fun. The music is bubbly and upbeat and makes you want to get up and dance or just jump around. It's a great way to spend some play time with your kids. And the classical music exposure is a bonus.

Synthesized dreck.......2005-08-13

Why did the producers use synthesizers for this music? It's awful. It's possible to hook kids on classical music using the actual instruments written for it - that's how I got hooked. That's what Mel Blanc and Disney did in their cartoons, Bugs Bunny and Fantasia. I do NOT recommend this CD to anyone. It was a shower gift. If you are not familiar with classical music, then I recommend "Baby Needs Beethoven", which is a collection of music using real instruments (albeit shortened - no full length symphonies here).

Product Description

Children have a natural ability to learn multiple languages easily. Studies show that from birth to age 12, a child's brain is open to assimilate and retain other languages. With repeat exposure to another language, your child's mental develpment will be enriched and carry over into all aspects of learning. This entire CD has been sung only in Spanish to immerse the child fully in the language. This method has been proven to be the most effective way to teach secondary languages. Nursery rhyme songs are a perfect way to introduce or continue developing another language in a familiar setting. Children will recognize the tunes and be able to make a connection with what they are singing. The tempo of these songs has been slowed down slightly so that the words are easy for children to hear and articulate themselves, in order to sing along. Written lyrics have also been included. Childhood development is extremely important! Adding additional languages in a fun, musical environment will only increases a child's capacity for knowledge.

Customer Reviews:

Distinct enunciation makes each word understandable.......2007-05-25

The absence of a lot of instruments makes the words on this CD very EASY TO UNDERSTAND. I already knew the English words to the songs ("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," etc.) Because the singer pronounced each word very clearly, I quickly learned Spanish vocabulary while driving in my car.

Entertaining & educational for the little ones..........2007-03-13

The simplicity of the accompaniment and the familiarity of the songs to the English speaker facilitates understanding of the Spanish lyrics. The artist has a nice voice and the words are individually enunciated making it easy to sing along. My children enjoy this CD and it is fun to see them picking up another language through music!!

Very So-so.......2007-01-22

I really wanted and fully expected to love this CD. Unfortunately it sounds like it was recorded in someone's living room using a Casio for musical accompaniment. The woman has a nice singing voice and I appreciate that the songs have been slightly slowed to allow non-Spanish speakers more time to process the Spanish sounds, however overall I think of this as an amateur product.

We love this CD!.......2006-12-23

We are English speaking parents of a 10 month old but we want our little one to learn Spanish. We play this CD for her all the time and we all love it. We also have the same songs in English and have played that one for her since birth, so all the sounds are familar to her. The songs are well sung and the tunes are all familar to any American English speaker. This is a great way to start introducing the little one to Spanish in a fun way!

FORMIDABLE!.......2006-02-09

As a mother trying to teach my 3 year-old son Spanish, I enjoy this CD greatly, the songs are already familiar to the kids, and their learning capacity, even on a foreign language, is trully impressive, but most of all, my son loves it!

NOT original recordings!!!.......2007-06-25

i had this tape when i was in jr. high and IT RULED! i thought id replace my lost tape with a cd. WRONG. is this a remix or something? if youre looking for old school ice-t, dont waste your money on this.

Groundbreaking.......2007-05-08

I'm not a huge fan of rap, but Ice-T deserves a lot of credit - or infamy - for creating a new genre of music: "Gangsta Rap". Sure, this album sounds dated by today's standards, and subsequent Ice-T albums are better, but this is a classic album that opened the floodgates for this new form of music. Ice-T is a genius, whether or not you agree with his views on the world, and this is a must have album for fans - and even non-fans - of the genre.

dope.......2004-12-04

I've been an Ice T fan for years..I'm 31 years old and still this is a dope album to this day..I have over 500 hip hop cd's and this one is def. a classic..He's gone to do more since then..rememba his movies...But his best album is OG..just like me..

Solid Debut.......2004-08-29

For me Ice-T is one of the best rappers ever and I've spent long hours listening to his hardcore gangster rap. Kind of odd for a middle-aged white guy but what can I say? His in your face, pro-freedom of speech attitude is one that I hold myself. He is one of the founding fathers of gangster rap and one of it's most innovative lyricists. I've seen Ice-T do his rap act only once but have seen him with his band Body Count four times and he puts on a tremendous show.

Rhyme Pays is Ice-T's first album and to be honest I only really like one song on it. The lyrics are clever, as is the case on most of Ice-T's albums, but the beats start to drone on a little a bit at times. Nevertheless, it's very pretty cool mostly.

But it only gets one star:

6 'N the Mornin' *

------------------------------------------------------------
Ratings: CDs are rated simply by how many good songs are on the album. Great songs get two stars, and good songs get one star. Songs that get no stars are those that I might like but not enough to give it a star or ones I find boring or actively dislike. CDs are not penalized for songs that I don't like because they are easy enough to skip over. There is no maximum number of stars a CD can get, but of course the more stars it gets, the better the CD.

As with all reviews, these are my subjective opinions on the album.

Grand Larcenist, Soloist, Lyracist, Vocalist, Crime by Rhyme.......2003-02-01

You wonder how Ice-T became famous? You wanna know why enough people listened to "Cop-Killer" to make a fuss in the first place? Well Rhyme Pays and Power were the reasons. On this album, Rhyme Pays, anyone who appreciates skill and style will find plenty. "Pain" is what describes Ice-T's philosophy. "Rhyme Pays" shows his skill. Put simply, you can't claim to be old-school and not have this album. It is just too darn good to never have heard. I burned out two tapes of it back before cds...

"Rhyme + Reason" Soundtrack.......2005-07-16

The soundtrack to Peter Spirer's compelling documentary, "Rhyme & Reason" makes a worthwhile companion piece to the film. While many of the artists on the soundtrack may not be as well known to today's music crowd, the music contained within this album is truly something special. Mack 10's collaboration with Tha Dogg Pound on "Nothin' But The Cavi Hit" is an excellent introduction to the album with Kurupt ripping the mic apart behind a hard beat courtesy of Daz. Likewise, Busta's energy on "Wild Hot" guest starring A Tribe Called Quest is absolutely bonkers. "Uni-4-orm" featuring Canibus, Ras Kass, and Heltah Skeltah is probably my favorite song on the soundtrack as future Horsemen partners, Ras and Canibus just kill it. KRS-One's "Bring It Back" is another banger with Kris bring his usual charisma to the table. Also worth checking out are E-40's "Every Year" and The RZA's "Tragedy". Master P's "Is There Heaven 4 A Gangsta?" is one of the few misses as P drops some rather lackluster rhymes over an obnoxious chorus. It proves to be the "pothole in the road" in an otherwise smooth ride of entertaining 90's rap anthems.

***1/2

Rhyme & Reason.......2004-12-08

This album seems to have almost everyone. The tracks might of not made the local radio stations but the album was nice. It has a great blend of east and west coast styles. I'm just amazed this one didn't pop off as well as it should of. Pick it up if you get the chance.

A must for rap addicts.......1998-12-12

This album combines the best of east/west coast with artists such as RZA, MC Eight, KRS-ONE Busta Rhymes, E40, ect. While a couple tracks are weak, most are bangin, such as Tragedy and Represent. Basically, this is a great compilation album that is worth getting!

Since many Limp Bizkit, Eminem, and Korn fans aren't hip to the original rap influences that informed the late-1990s rap-metal explosion, Take a Bite Outta Rhyme's intentions are honorable--have rock bands cover tunes by rap luminaries such as Public Enemy, LL Cool J, and Ice-T. But things go astray with Dynamite Hack's intentionally sappy reworking of Eazy-E's "Boys-n-the Hood," followed by weak efforts from the overhyped Insane Clown Posse, Bloodhound Gang, and Dope. Then there are unimpressive entries from Driver, Factory 81, and Mindless Self Indulgence. The best renditions are heavy ones: Staind's "Bring the Noise," Sevendust's "Going Back to Cali," and Nonpoint's "The Tribute," which salutes Slick Rick, Busta Rhymes, and the Wu-Tang Clan. Rap-rock has come a long way since Aerosmith and Run-D.M.C. did "Walk This Way" and Anthrax performed a duet with Public Enemy, but as this CD indicates, the genre hasn't necessarily arrived at a better place. --Katherine Turman

Customer Reviews:

phenomenal.......2006-09-21

I have owned this album sinced shortly after it came out, and I still LOVE IT!!!
Old school rap and heavy metal are two of my top musical genres, and this is a tremendous compilation... highest reccomendation for anyone who is a fan of the original hip hop tracks that are expertly covered on this album. Also highly reccomended for anyone who is a fan of any of the bands featured on this album. From Sevendust to the Kottonmouth Kings, this CD is solid, start to finsh. Can I give it 6 stars?

3.5 Stars - It's okay, not bad. But only a few noteables.......2005-04-11

Since this album has been out a while, this review is probably an utter waste of time as either you all probably own it or will never know about it. However, my thoughts are as follows...

It starts strong. Staind does good, no whining like their newer songs, and Mister Durst is about as odd as ever (odd meaning childish but fun at the same time). Sevendust's song is alright; I've never heard the original song that they covered, but from the sounds of things its written like a fifteen-year-old did it. From there, things dwindle and fade into background noise.
Then comes Nonpoint. This song starts good, gets you interested. After a little bit you notice it keeps getting heavier and weirder and doesn't relent. You may not like it. But, mark my words, it will soon grow on you. In time, you'll be owning their first album and loving that too. Then you'll get their second album and puke but that's another review...

So, if you've just now strayed onto this page and are looking at buying this cd of yesterday, I hope I have helped your decision-making. I would overall recommend it, but only for a few standout songs. The rest is just sub-par. Then again, I am not much of a rap fan but a rap/metal with emphasis on metal fan. So, decide for your own tastes. I do not think you will be overly disappointed at all.

Tha Tribute..........2003-02-13

This album, rare for alot of tribute albums, is actually pretty dope. I downloaded the track "Staind featuring Fred Durst and DJ Lethal of Limp Bizkit - Bring The Noise(Public Enemy/Anthrax cover)" and instantly I wanted this album. That song was only a part of this amazing CD. Dynamite Hack's Eazy-E cover of "Boyz-N-The Hood" is astounding. Its not heavy and loud, but has a nice acoustic guitar throughout the whole song. I guess you could call this a parody, but its my favorite track on the album. Insane Clown Posse(although a rap group) even appears. They do a cover of Sir-Mix-A-Lot's "Posse On Broadway". I'm a huge ICP fan and I think this track is alright but a little out of place on this album. Its still classic though. KMK, also known as the Kotton Mouth Kings, do a cover of the Getto Boys' classic, "Mind Playin' Tricks On Me". This song is awesome and is a great introduction to future KMK fans. Mindless Self Indulgence do a cover of Method Man's "Bring The Pain". This song is totally awesome if you like M.S.I. Factory 81, a band who I've never heard before, does the Cypress Hill hit, "Insane in the Brain". This song is okay, I like the screams but I don't think he has a good rap voice. =)> All in all, this album is awesome. I recommend it to the extreme rap/metal fans and even heavy metal fans. This is a great compilation...

Why is the Emphasis on type of music?.......2003-01-23

I would have to claim this album to be one of the absolute best albums of all time!! I am about as all around in terms of music as you can get. I grew up on classic rock, rap, metal, classical, regea, oldies, country and even pop. This album is a great taster of some of the little known bands. The thought of taking some of the most classic rap songs and redoing them by these high potential up-and-coming groups is ingenious. This CD was my first experience with MSI, nonpoint, and factory 81. I have since fallen in love with the untapped greatness of each band. I even enjoyed the Staind song on the album and personally don't have much interest in the band. Dynamite Hack pulled off a miracle with Boyz, I didn't think that the song could ever be pulled off by anyone other than a rap group however they did it beautifully. Lets not forget the Clown's, KMKings, and even a little touch from the Jerky Boys, to round out this high quality CD.
I am very happy with the fact that this is a tribute by new rock musicians dedicated to old school rap. This album is proof that good new musicians will always find ways to press out from between the wastefulness of sellouts like Limp Bizkit and PapaRoach.
In finishing I would like to tell each and every one of you who are reading this review that you can't go wrong by buying this CD, you have gotten far enough to see my review you might as well buy it and see for yourself what a great album really sounds like. Since I bought this CD back in early 2001 I have passed it out successfully to more than a dozen friends with no complaints what so ever!! Very few CD's deserve 5 stars and in my opinion this deserves 5.5, but enough talk click buy, or at least find a friend who owns it.

Everyone Wants To Be A Hustler.......2002-07-11

This is a good CD. You don't have to like hip hop/rap to enjoy the remakes of these classic songs. Worth the purchase price? Yes, because Dope does a killer version of New Jack Hustler that will blow your mind.

Album Description

Bitch and Animal is a fresh, funky, animated duo of multi-instrumentalists, the kind you probably won't hear on the radio or see on MTV. They react to their surroundings by writing and performing sexually-energized songs that move butts and bust guts, using piles of instruments to explore piles of different musical styles. To record their new album, Sour Juice And Rhyme, Bitch and Animal locked themselves up in a house in the country, connected with nature and played croquet until their arms were sore.

With the help of co-producer June Millington (best known as the leader of the '70s rock band Fanny), Bitch and Animal effectively channeled the energetic vibes and hilarious antics of their live shows, giving Sour Juice And Rhyme more of a carefree spirit than their previous album, 2001's Eternally Hard. Bouts of comic storytelling rub shoulders with somber balladry, percussive spoken word, Carter-family country and rap. It's a sea of genres, moods and messages, expertly mixed together by two geeks living on a farm, letting it all hang out.

Customer Reviews:

Not their best but.......2006-02-27

Ahhh...much love for the (lamentably not currently together) duo of Bitch and Animal. I much preferred their two previous releases-Eternally Hard and What's That Smell. However, there are still some worthy tracks on this release. "Pac Man" is a sweet unique lovesong, "1/2 Naked" and "Feminist Housewives" are both hilarious and "Secret Candy" is a brilliantly comedic feminist response to misogyny in rap lyrics. The rest of the songs were too self-consciously artsy for my taste. These are, however, two women with an articulate perspective and beautiful voices so I don't mean to discourage anyone from delving into their catalogue; an album that is not up to their usual standard is still quite good. If they ever tour together again, definitely make a point to go see them as they are at their best live.

It takes a lot for me to rate something as perfect..........2005-01-09

I've been obsessed with this CD since I purchased it about six months ago. It's one of the few CDs I can actually listen to from beginning to end and love every song. The lyrics are genuine, the songs are simple yet entertaining...their main instruments seem to be just a violin and some bongos, yet they've created something so unique with such few resources. Obviously their music is directed toward a certain group, but I urge all music lovers to give this a chance.

sour juice and rhyme.......2004-05-04

it's an amazing album, i promise

Totally Disagree!.......2004-03-17

I think this album is great!!! Sure they're not entirely pleased about being lesbian women in the world today, but it sounds like the world hasn't exactly given them a lot of reason to be. And I really don't think that's the point either. I got this album because B and A have talent, a fresh sound to emphasize it, and a sense of humor. The message of their music IS love and tolerance....even their most agressive songs (aka Secret Candy) preaches that. I would advise people to go sample them on Ani D's website before making a decision about them, but don't just give up on them because of one unkind review.

dont waste your money!.......2004-03-15

I just saw these two in concert. they looked interesting, so i thought, hey, i'll go see them...little did i know that they are a couple of insecure, talentless women who wish they had something that men do.....the whole show was about how angry thay are to be lesbian women....get over it! i'm sure glad this is to be their last tour together....
save your money, dont buy this cd, do not support people that are so hateful and angry.....in a time when we need more love in this world.....

Album Description

What if physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking had a secret life as a gangsta rapper? Confined to a wheelchair due to Lou Gehrig's Disease, Dr. Hawking lost the use of his vocal chords in an operation to assist his breathing in 1985. Since then he's used a speech synthesizer that speaks for him when he types in the computer what he wants to say. After seeing the Beastie Boys in 1988, be became obsessed with rap and immersed himself in the culture, favoring the harder-edged music by NWA and The Ghetto Boyz. From this, MC Hawking was born. Here are 16 dope, booty shaking, digitally mastered tracks from the undisputed king of theoretical gangsta-astrophysics, collected on one CD for the first time. "It's hard to decide whether the parody is downright brilliant or borderline offensive, but it certainly made us laugh"--Salon. "I'm flattered in an odd sort of way"--Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Hawkman Gangsta Rap.......2007-04-12

This is totally gangsta rap style synthesized voice like Stephen Hawking's. You will not be disappointed with this if you liked mc chris. Completely amazing how he made the songs so smooth.

Actually really good music..........2006-10-05

The joke of having Hawking do gangsta rap wouldn't last an entire album except (a) the science is actually pretty good, and (b) the music is totally great.

I'd like to mention I also like Beastie Boys and N.W.A. and Run-DMC -- essentially, if you like rap, I suspect you'll like this album.

Funny and insightful.......2006-05-15

In one word - Unique. I've listened to this album many times over and it's actually on my iPod. I have no clue as to why someone would want to buy NWA over MC Hawkings, but you've heard it here first from a self proclaimed engineer. This has wit, style, and a funny background. I'll be a life long fan.

Brilliant but maybe too brilliant.......2006-01-19

I have to concur with most of the 5 star ratings for Mr. Hawking's pseudo-escape into gangsta rapping. Ken's lyrics are brilliant and hilarious, which makes me want to rewind my cassette, listen again and sing to myself in my car or in line at Microcenter.
The gimmick of the music, MC Hawking's electronic voice, is holding the music back for me. Keeps the music from leaving it's kitschy value and moving into respectable, listenable hip-hop. Fans will say that I've lost the point of the whole concept, Stephen Hawking uses a electronic voice box... But when it comes down to it, I'd rather here his genius through the vocal cords of an avatar capable of emotional inflection, not a mostly monotonous machine. Pi stars for the lyrics and the premise. If you like or can get past the voice box, you'll enjoy MC Hawking for a very long time.

1 lame joke does not make a listenable album.......2005-11-07

I normally don't review things for Amazon. Not interested in working for free... Amazing how they have tricked us into creating their marketing material for them for free...

Regradless, I had to say something when I saw all the 5 star reviews of this terrible record.

I'm a smart guy. Computer Networking Engineer, GPS Owning, Big Screen TV watching, ex Phone Phreaking, genuine geek. Most of my friends love MC Hawking. I don't.

The first time I heard an MC Hawking song, I chuckled. For about half the song. Then, I got tired of trying to make out what the AT&T Voice Synthesizer was trying to say (Rap?). I would probably enjoy a lecture by the man. The rap, however, isn't worth the effort.

Smart guys trying to be gangsta rappers is about as sad as it sounds. Smart Guys flocking behind some guy with a speech synthesizer spouting high mathemetical concepts is as sad as watching that same group rock out to an all-klingon punk band as a Star Trek convention. Please, try not to be the very definition of the stereotype!

The stuff isn't repetedly listenable, and new songs sound just like the old songs.

A buddy went to a couple of "concerts" this guy put on (no kidding, he actually toured with his speach synthesizer and midi-sequencer), and tried to convince me how cool it all was. I was appauled.

The fact that this guy made up an albumn of his songs is unbelieveable. Really, if you are curious, try out the demo cuts here. They really are as lame as they sound.

If making a speech synthesizer curse repeatedly is your kind of fun, go ahead and buy this. Otherwise, go do something more usefull with your $15.00. Buy an actual NWA record if you want. You'll respect yourself more in the morning.

They call him "the Deke," but Deke Dickerson is more like the Dean of 21st-century rockabilly, a cognizant musician whose original songs and cover choices are strongly informed by country guitar heroes (Jimmy Bryant and Joe Maphis), early rockers and rollers (Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins), and 1950s R&B. On his third solo record, Dickerson's torrid guitar work is still the focal point, but this time out he's cut back on his usual dosage of silliness. His versatility is on display as he romps through country-jazz, swing, boogie, doo-wop, and his trademark rockabilly, including a rollicking cover of Grandpa Jones's "Hello Blues." --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews:

Deke never disappoints.........2001-10-17

The third CD from Deke and the Eccofonics, and just as usual, Deke rocks. This CD is a bit different sounding than the other two from the Eccofonics, but just as great. "Will you be Mine?" will have you cruising down the highway, singing along at the top of your lungs. If you love Deke, you'll love this CD...I know I do!

WHERE TO AIM.......2001-02-28

While, I've certainly appreciated Deke's work on previous releases this one takes the cake.Let's face it, he likes to clown around, make people laugh, but on his latest, he cracks open the basement door a bit.The self-penned tunes, WHERE TO AIM and WHERE I'M GOIN'? show he's more than the merry prankster reving it up on that ol' double necked guitar of his.There's real heart and yearning in these tunes.

That's not to say this one's a downer. WANG DANG DULA and HOT RODDER'S LAMENT keep your toes tappin'. And as always, his choice of covers reveal a true knowlege of rock-n-roll in the buff.

So what you have here is all the fun of his earlier stuff and a few stunning surprizes as well.Fans won't be disappointed and new comers won't either.

Real Rock and Roll Lives On.......2000-11-30

If you are a fan of simple straight ahead Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, and Country then this CD is a must have. The album sounds like it came right out of the late 50's early 60's. Deke combines the afore mentioned styles and makes them his own with amazing results. Rhythm Rhyme and Truth will appeal to a broad base of fans from Country to Rock. A well written album with great music. The only thing better than this cd is catching them live.

Sleeper of the Year.......2007-01-18

I gave this album to one of my friends and it almost convinced him to forsake all other hip hop genre's and start listening to Christian Hip Hop. Solus Christus was the best album of the year and is still hot!

you must get this album.......2006-02-02

Solus Christus is unlike any holy hip hop album there is. I have heard no one who can match Shai's rhyming ability (ok, maybe Redcloud)but no one can rhyme AND represent Christ like shai does. Every song/beat/musical style on the album is simply top notch, even the intro and outtro's are must listen to tracks. I've listened to this CD hundreds of times, and it's still fresh every time. I reccommend this cd not just to Christians, but to music lovers in general. God bless!

Shai is truley blessed!!.......2005-12-11

Hey ya'll.. I just wanna say that this CD really represent Christ, the way hip hop should be. Lyrical Theology at it's best. Great beats by DJ Essence, and good collabs by Steve and Phanatik(Cross Movement), and Evangel(Christcentric). I got this CD along with Tim Brindle's Killing Sin, and these dudes are blessed by the Holy Spirit. If you like philly music, jazzy/hip hop stuff.. get this CD. it is a must have!! Grace and Blessings

Another Winner for Holy Hip-Hop!!!!!.......2005-10-11

Here is another CD that I love!!!! Totally awesome!!!! Scriptural based lyrics are on point!!! If you are a lover of Hip-Hop you must have this CD, and especially if you are a lover of Holy Hip-Hop, consider it a blessing to support this guy's ministry and you'll be blessed from the CD as well. I will proudly recommend to all, and have no problem loading it on my 4 kids MP3 player!!! Get this one and Timothy Brindle together, and you will be jamming for a while!!!!

- Pastor C.L. Price

You MUST get this!.......2005-09-16

This one hit the bullseye! I scooped this CD at Rapfest in New York and popped it in the CD player on the ride home. Needless to say, I listened to it all the way down to DC!!! Shai Linne has accomplished a goal that Holy Hip Hop has been somewhat (not all the way) lacking...that is...masterful and Godly lyrical skills over excellent production and tight beats. No cosmetics, no fluff, shai linne's style of praise to the Lord is what true christians who are true hip-hoppers have been looking for. I even played a few cuts for some secular rap artists and (no lie), they whipped out some money and offered to buy it from me right there on the spot. All...this is a must have for your collection, it'll make any non-Christian hip-hopper want to get saved! This album is one of the top 3 in my collection, including Christian and secular music. 5 STARS!!!
