Customer Reviews:

so close to perfect...but flawed.......2005-08-11

A definite buy for collectors of freestyle classic 12" versions on CD, but it's just not consistent enough. There are a few too many 7" versions, for instance, the really hard to get I Want You by Shana on CD, Some 12" versions are edited (the intro is missing from what goes around by giggles, for instance) and at other times, they opted for long album versions rather than the full 12" versions (Lisette Melendez and Trinere, for instance). Even so, you won't find a lot of this stuff on CD elsewhere, so try to get your hands on a copy of this compilation, or get each volume separately (they're listed here on amazon). Track times:

Freestyle music will never die for me.......2005-02-20

I bought this CD, and its cool. I grew up on the Lower East side of Manhattan (Las Avenidas) and as a teenager this was my music. We use to break dance at the circle with this and their were some carrying boomboxes and doing grafiti... I first fell in love to a nice rican girl with some of these songs. Therefore, I keep buying it and believe me a lot of people when they first here it say that it is nice...

Freestyle fans this cd is for you.......2004-04-03

Freestyle was a sound different from the mainstream.It was a latin hip-hop sound in which at times seem like sugar to the ears.But it was the sound that with help shape the eurodance sound of the mid to late 90's.Freestyle was the teen pop of many latino and non latino kids in the city.Withs its theme in love and heartbreak over latin flavored hip-hop.It was a moment in time and a sound of the late 80's teenager. Even know it never got as big as new jack swing it did leave its mark on dance pop.If you listen to the eurodance artists like amber,the real mccoys and labouche you will hear the keyboard licks of freestyle.As an Dj i'm always asked what music did i start playing first when i started djing 16 years ago.Freestyle was the first music i spun back in the day.All the songs on this cd was what i spun and they were popular.For me this cd really gives you the flavor of freestlye when it started going mainstream.Also when the sound started to die out.So pick it up and party your body

where's Coryne Eyse?.......2003-04-17

This Album could be so much better if u added the song"A little bit of luv" By Coryne Elyse realesed in 1991 on OnnaRoll records!The song is on Metroplolitan presents the best of Onnaroll Vol. 1
