TRU Life really suprised me this record! They all sounded hot the beats were blazin! Great job DJ Official!

5 out of 5 stars Get this one.......2007-06-25

In the past, I may have been able to pick about 1 or 2 songs off of a Cross Movement CD that I really liked. This album is totally different. There are about six songs that are absolutely incredible. None of the songs are subpar. A great album from start to finish...and I totally mean that. The final song is like the finale and it does not disappoint at all. My favorites are "louder", "Clap Your Hands", "Get That", and "The Last Cypha." But as I said, all of the songs are good, so be sure to get this album.

5 out of 5 stars Thank God for Cross Movement.......2007-06-06

This album is hot and merits 5+ stars.

But if this is the Cross Movement's last project as a group, I would like to comment on their impact on me. I'm a 30 year old Black male, but because of my deep southern religious upbringing, was never a major part of "hip hop culture" as a child. I would hear hip hop at school or occasionally sneak to watch a few videos when my parents (father-pastor, mother- missionary) weren't around. I enjoyed some songs, but never became a major hip hop head. Even then, I preferred the Southern style to the East Coast flavor. I can say, without hyperbole, that Cross Movement has had the greatest effect on me embracing some elements of hip hop culture, while also cultivating my faith in Christ.

As a budding, potential scholar myself, I am very much impressed and captivated by their knowledge of the Holy Scripture and their ability to articulate Old and New Testament principles, translating them into an artistic language that is relevant to those alive during this generation. They seem, as a whole, to avoid denominational, schismatic issues and focus primarily on plain Biblical tenets. There is rarely a song that does not include the Gospel or cross of Christ.

Finally, and this is a comment that I make about other Christian artists whom this applies to. They are fully cognizant that they are practicing an expression of their faith which is seen as radical, and that many are hostile to, but they have remained focused, preaching the message of Jesus Christ, His Cross, and His Holiness. They have learned the art of being radical without being rebellious.
Cross Movement members:
If you all read this review-- May God continue to use and bless you all. Continue the work of the Lord in whatever capacity the Spirit leads you.

5 out of 5 stars Great Finish!!.......2007-06-06

If this is truly CM's last album, it is a great finish to a phenominal career. This album is amazing! In my opinion it is their best effort to date; they didn't pull any strings or hold anything back on this project. My fav track is #10-Name Up but the whole joint is crazy. GO COP IT NOW!!!!! This is an album for Christian Hip Hop heads and even cats that are into the secular game. This album is for everyone.

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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

3 out of 5 stars 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 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars Off the Chain.......2005-08-07

This cd is awesome. I love the diversity in their music and their ability to rhyme and sing and throw in some poetry. They remind me of THe Fugess or Black Eyed Peas.

4 out of 5 stars A great buy.......2005-01-25

After hearing the song "All around the world" on a sampler CD i asked for a CD by souljahz (i mistakinaly thought it was pronouced like soul-jazz, when it's really like souldiers) for christmas, and was glad i did, i could go one praising them, but doing so would just be reptetive of the other reviews out there, which you can read, and i completely agree with. there is only 1 reason i give this 4 stars and not 5. I am not minority of any kind, and because of that i can't really know discrimination, a theme this album touches on repeatedly. This feels kinda...awkward. like i don't deserve to be listening to this, i haven't gone through what they have, and hence i almost feel like an outsider listening to some of these songs. I'm still glad i got the CD, and would reocmend whoever reads this to buy it, i just want to give a heads up. Still, go out and buy it.

5 out of 5 stars Just Awesome!.......2005-01-13

I can remember reading about them from a BMG music order sheet. You know how they suggest other groups that sound like a more popular group. I remember saying to myself how I would like to hear them. Well last summer I was at a garage sell and behold there they were, still in wrapper. I purchased it and immediately unwrapped and slid it into the CD player. WOW! Just Awesome! I jammed to that all day long, and it is now one of my favorite CDs. The lyrics are so on, and their conviction rings through clearly, not to mention their incredible vocals. No doubt in my mind that the next CD would not be a find on my part but deliberate act.

5 out of 5 stars Incredible.......2005-01-11

What an amazing CD. Every single time I hear "Worship," my soul is stirred. There's so much Spirit in this CD, so much Truth, so much unabashed and unashamed praise that I doubt it will ever be dislodged from my "Favorite Albums" list.

5 out of 5 stars Unbelievable!.......2004-08-05

This is by far the best CD I have in my collection right now. BUY THIS CD! The songs will uplift you, inspire you, convict you, and get your mind right. Listening to their positive message delivered with great beats and voices has left me addicted. I can't wait for their new CD.

5 out of 5 stars Steppin his gam up! .......2007-04-05

Dirty History is an awesome album and a big step up from Hatchet Warrior, which was still decent in it's own right. For me the highlight of this album is Hey Ya'll. I can't even begin to tell you all how big of an ROC fan I am and his production absolutely shines on that track. Down Here, Bombs On You, Trees And Woods, Retaliate, Party At The Liquor Store, and Put My Life On It are all awesome songs. The only ones on here I didn't care much for were Nevahoe and Charlie Brown. Definetly pick this up if your into Psychopathic.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME.......2006-04-13

This album is a huge step-up from "Hatchet Warrior", in my opinion. That was a really good album aswell, but this is an awesome album. ABK can actually sing really well also. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this album to all juggalos!

4 out of 5 stars 2nd Attack With Dirty History.......2005-10-28

This is ABK's second album as the Killa....I'd say hes improved in some ways....Beats arent that much imroved but with less psy guests it makes it a more personal album for him....which I like.....well lets get to it. Tracks:


1. Intro-1/5 I think this intro is a little more interesting for it sets a story that this wicked album was found under an old staircase....sounds like a good suspense story....but its just an intro
2. Bombs on You-3.5/5 yes its a good track, short, but sick.....I enjoyed it more after seeing it live....but its basically the short track that introduces himself on the album
3. Stick and Move-5/5 Wicked track although its more talk about the industry.....instead of stickin fools.....but badass none the less....good mosh pit song......
4. Down Here-4/5(featuring Violent J) I picture a party goin down in the sewers while J and ABK spit about the freaks n geeks lurkin in the depths below ya home.....I like the chorus a lot....lyrics are pretty decent
5. Gimme ah Beat-5/5 I think this songs killer....all he needs is this beatbox beat and he can kick it wild.....lyrics are tough with the one little two little holes in the back of ya dome....awesome song...the guy that danced to this at GOTJ was nuts
6. Party at the Liquor Store(Featuring Blaze Ya Dead Homie)-3/5 Great tone for party time....I can relate but the track just doesnt stand out that much for me....the chorus isnt that great...but good to listen to their crazy times
7. Hey Ya'll-5/5 first single with a sick video....more indian heritage which is original and wicked....Powerful track and definately a memorable one....
8. Retaliate(featuring Twiztid)-5/5 best twiztid combo since "Look at Me" Their lyrics really ooze the wickedness outta the track.....Another good fight song, which ABK seems to be alright at.....J does some chorus work yet again but its not irritating.
9. Trees and Woods-5/5 Another slower song that I really like....his singing is actually excellent on this.....and I Imagine alotta wicked images of this song.....reminds me of those fake ass monsters on the village.....breakdown of the song is pretty awesome also.
10. Nevehoe(Featuring Shaggy 2Dope)3.5/5 Keeping the same pace of the album...but just lacking a little....i dunno if its shaggys lyrics or the beat.....chorus is alright....just not one of my favorites
11. Laugh At You-5/5 WICKED! I love the imagery of this one....i can visualize this high school murder.....I relate to this as I walk the hallways and people give those looks....I will shed no tears!! just love the song
12. It Doesnt Matta(Featuring Blaze and Esham)3/5 Yea its got good lyrics.....i just dont dig the beat....the piano just doesnt fit to me....chorus is sick w esham.....but just not that great of a song to me
13. Oh No-5/5 Fxckin awesome......i feel like screamin this to those punk asses at school.....but anyway its a raging song with a wicked chorus and although its not really a critic pick....I think its a favorite of mine..
14. Charlie Brown(featuring J)-5/5 Just keeps gettin better with a smoker song...I relate to somma these problems...Ive had ronchy ass weed before but yea kno its a great song.....loved it in concert and I'll always love it when I'm hittin the herb....
15. Put My Life On It-4.5/5 Another good song mainly for the chorus.....Love it.....plus the tone is inspiring for I'd like to put my life on somthin too...anyway its a kick ass song
16. Can't Help It-4/5 Still wicked at the end of the album....and its kind of a helpless song.....Another ounce of pure dirty history
17. 2 Whom This May Concern-3/5 Its a good ending track....but I'm not really one for ending tracks....I like nothings left and Pass me by....but there not really tracks i listen to alot....theyre great...just not my fave picks.....

Well I feel this album is a good step up from "Hatchet Warrior"....its got the same tone throughout the whole thing....Once the treasure chest opens, the warrior is released to address issues 2 whom it may concern.....i picture him in his cloak and warrior paint in dark alleys and in the sewers....Spitting all this wicked shxt about the things he sees around him in this world.....Cant wait till the next ABK LP......MCL and Killa Love-Sexton

4 out of 5 stars ABK keeps bringin' the flavor with 'Dirty History'..........2005-08-20

Let me say first off: I don't get why ABK recieves so much hate from juggalos. IMO he's a real cool person to have on Psy. He's different, alot different than what you'd usually hear, and he fits in perfect with the mix of things. Also, he wasn't as bad on TFTLP as juggalos make him out to be...but anyway, back to this review.

For the most part ABK's debut on Psy, 'Hatchet Warrior', was well-recieved by most juggalos. It had alot of guest spots & such so I'm not sure if that's what drew most people in or if they were actually listening to ABK's vocals. Anyway, I think that's sort of the reason why this album wasn't as well-recieved.

'Dirty History', ABk's sophmore effort, is mostly just ABK. Yeah it has all the Psy family teaming up on parts of it but it dives alot deeper into ABK holding his own without having a guest spot on every track. The CD kind of flows together all-the-way through, too, and that might be why some people dislike it.

Here's my breakdown of 'Dirty History':

1. Intro - Alright intro. Sets the mood well for the album. N/A

2. Bombs on You - Real average intro-ish track. Sort of similiar to #2 on 'Hatchet Warrior' in the fact that it seems like its just an intro-track or something. Not really worth hearing IMO. 2/5

3. Stick and Move - Now here's when the album kicks off. Nice track with some a good, hard chorus. ABK holds it down on this track & if you've peeped the Road Fools DVD there's a real low-budget video shot for this one. 4/5

4. Down Here (feat. Violent J) - Interesting concept. ABK & J do well together but this track has always seemed kind of boring or something to me. Good to hear, though, cuz I know alot of people like it. 3/5

5. Gimmie Ah Beat - I love this track. It makes me think of freestyle beatboxin' or something. It sounds real fresh and ABK spits some hot ish for like 2 verses. The skit at the end is funny, too, and a nice segway into #6. 5/5

6. Party at the Liquor Store (feat. Colton Grundy) - When I first picked up this LP I loved this track. Now its kind of wore out on me. Blaze (Colton Grundy) is dope as f**k on this track & its always good to hear ABK & Blaze together. There's another low-budget video shot for this one on the Road Fools DVD, as well. 3.5/5

7. Hey Yall - The "single". Amazing track. Killa really goes deep in this one. There's a video shot for this one & its dope...NOT low-budget, too, looks like a real video (a good quality one, anyways). 5/5

8. Retaliate (feat. Twiztid) - Good track. A Twiztid appearence is always good no matter what & ABK holds his own here. Mono is really dope on this track BTW. 4/5

9. Trees and Woods - I'm not sure what to think about this. It seems like it would be good but its so slow-moving I can't stand listening to it. Shows some depth but once again its way too slow for me to stand. 2/5

10. Nevehoe (feat. Shaggy 2 Dope) - Nice native feel...again. Anyway, Killa's fresh on here, but Shaggs verse is really strange. "Your new name is vittle fingers/cuz you're a bank account rapist tryin 2 steal my dinners"...o_O. Not sure what to think after that. 3.5/5

11. Laugh at You - Probably my fav. off the album just becuase this one I can really, REALLY relate to. The whole "outcast, freekshow" theme applies here, and once again, its really easy for me to relate. I really like the part at the end, too, where the kids are screaming "THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!"... 5/5

12. It Doesn't Matta (feat. Colton Grundy & Esham) - Another fav. of mine. The beat is SICK & this is another in-depth performance from Killa. Blaze's verse is unbelievably good & Esham sticks to the hook, which is probably for the best since both ABK's verses & Blaze's are untouchable on here. 5/5

13. Oh No - Meh. Skippable. That's all I can say. 2/5

14. Charlie Brown (feat. Violent J) - Well, this one is the worst on the album. Really, really, really annoying hook & unless you're as high as they are you're not gonna like it. This is like "Mr. Sesame Seed Pt. 2" as well & that's a really bad thing. 1/5

15. Put My Life on It - Back to fresh sh*t. Another good lyrical performance from ABK. 4/5

16. Can't Help It - Same as above ^. Another good lyrical performance & the hook is pretty hard too. Good sh*t. 4/5

17. 2 Whom This May Concern - Really good ending track. This one's a real good ballad-type track. Like sombody said before it sounds like a mix of "Nothing's Left" & "I'm Alright". Also another low-budget video of this is featured on Road Fools. 5/5

So, overall, I'm not gonna say this was better than HW, but I still liked it. Definitely not as bad as alot of juggalos make it out to be...

The low-points are really low on here, but the high-points are all 5/5 tracks. So yeah, definitely an album worth adding to your Psy. collection.

2 out of 5 stars D12 and the Dixie Chicks?.......2005-07-21

What the hell was your about. I must have bought a different copy than you because mine doesnt have Eminem on it. What the FXCK are you on. I also didnt know ABK toured with the Chixie Dicks. What the hell world are you living in? O.k. First off I love ABK's first album but he lost me here. The only songs i can really listen to are "party at the liquor store" and "charlie brown". I say DL it first. If you like it buy it. If not, pitch it. MCL

5 out of 5 stars History In the Making indeed.......2006-08-05

JR Writer puts out an extremely impressive debut mainstream album. He truly shows why he wears his wings. His lyricism and delvery are incredible. The beats are sizzling and there is no track that gives up. Every song is incredible. A few diplomats show up to lay down their lines, but the majority of the album is JR showing that he can rap with the best. My personal favorite is Goonies feat. Jim Jones and Hell Rell followed closely by Why Try feat. S.A.S. S.A.S. sounds eerily like Bone Thugs N Harmony on the hook on theis track. All the tracks on this album are banging placing History In the Making as one of the best albums of the year.

5 out of 5 stars The Movement Continues............2006-07-28

The title definitely fits well with this album cause J.R. proved that he can do more than just the mixtape scene with joints like "Grill Em" and "Xtacy" but besides the singles, bangers like "Riot Pump" and "He's Moving" definitely bang out, "High Music" is funny as ****. His heart felt joints are "To Be a Diplomat" and "My Life". Fire album along with "Killa Season", cop both if you a fan of The Movement. P.S. Better than all of the down south crap coming out(excluding Wayne, T.I., and Luda)

2 out of 5 stars Wackness.......2006-07-28

J.R. Writer sounds like a baby CamRon in voice, flow, and rhyme scheme. Even though in my opinion he's a little bit better than CamRon, that's still not saying much (since CamRon is arguably the worst rapper out right now). The album isn't as horrible as CamRon's album earlier this year either. There are actually some songs that are tight to me and if they aren't tight...they're at least listenable. But listenable doesn't make it good. JR Writer doesn't spit any game, he just raps often rambling along in his slow flow. His rhymes while technically sound, are boring. The production is riding though...always love Dipset beats and really they are the only thing that keep me interested. However, JR Writer is the most talented of anyone in Dipset I've heard so far and has a little potential. Good songs include Byrd Call, Xtaci, and That's A Bet. 2 stars.

5 out of 5 stars INSANE.......2006-07-27

Another member out of Dipset lights it up. These guys are on a huge roll not just on the streets and the underground, but in the mainstream. This CD JR Writer shows what he does best! Murder anyother rapper out there. His lyrics are straight insane. Gotta say he can straight gangsta rap and then the song Xtasy shows his verstailty so damn much... just damn. I don't see anyother rapper topping this CD this year. Dipset does it again...

5 out of 5 stars D*** this boys hot.......2006-07-24

in his first non mixtape(writers Block) project History in the Making will go down in the history as possbly thhe best album out this year will have to wait for the games till i decide.Jr writer is solid and has good punchlines this cd is going to be a classic in the future

5 out of 5 stars "A true history of Rap".......2005-08-29

This compilation is one of the best ever made! KB compiled the best of the best, and made sure to give you the full, 12" versions (except for "JAZZY SENSATION"). The sound quality is incredible! These jams never sounded better! Nothing less than pure, classic Hip-Hop material!!

5 out of 5 stars Part of an indespensible history series.......2001-07-20

Part 2 of an excellent overview of the origins and history of rap music. This volume has the earliest true rap hits, including 2 classics by Kurtis Blow himself and some tracks that have been unjustly forgotten. Great sound and terrific "insider" liner notes by Blow that put these tracks in their historical context.

5 out of 5 stars From the Innocent Age of Rap.......2001-06-30

If you were a teenager at the time, you'll love this. These fun, funky tunes will remind (or educate, if you weren't there) you of the days when kids eagerly listened to the radio to await the newest rap records (since they were rare at the time) and you could play these around your parents without shame. The Treacherous 3's "Feel The heartbeat," Jazzy 5's "Jazzy Sensation," Funky 4+1 More's "Rappin and Rocking the House" (unfortunately, this is not the complete 16 min version), "Funk You Up" and "Monster Jam" by the Sequence (featuring Angie Stone),etc. will all make you feel good to be alive-before NWA and those gangster idiots who followed destroyed rap music!

5 out of 5 stars clean rapp.......2000-01-02

4 out of 5 stars Brings you back to a time where you want to go back.......1999-07-17

This CD is a classic on my records. Everytime I listen to this CD I think back when it had just came out, EVERYONE wanted to know the words, they would play it over, and over again. A real "time warp"!

1 out of 5 stars Please don't purchase from this artist.......2006-11-21

I am a student from the University of Minnesota's Asian-American Student Union. We jumped on the chance to book Jin--a rising star in the American music industry where Asians are essentially unrepresented--for the feature of our annual spring conference and Asian Heritage Month. Unfortunately, Jin did NOT show up, NOR did he refund our money. Through months and months of continuing effort, we have attained sparse contact with Jin and his manager Kamel in which they promise the money but have not seen any of the $4000.00 to this day. As students, it will be difficult for us to find the time and money to file a suit, so in protest, please do not support this artist who is unwilling to repay us students.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Album.......2006-09-04

Jin is a different kind of rapper, (and no I am not saying that because he is Chinese!) Jin Raps about things that actually matter to him rather than rap about getting money and being a gangsta. In Cold Outside, he raps about how he is 'no killer' and how he has 'never committed any crimes'. He is more about his career than having a good time. He has true talent as well. He can take any material and do something fantastic with it. That is a blessing on this CD because you can tell that he is not in full control of his career. Half of this CD is from his heart and the other half is exactly the opposite of what he just said. For example on Love Song he talks about how he treats women well but on Club Song he acts like they are just here for fun. On The Come Thru he acts like he is a 'big thug' with 'lots of cash' while on So Afraid he disses on artists who are only in the rap game to make money and act tough. On So Afraid he raps about how he wont top the charts and how his songs are never on the radio while on Get Your Handz Off he talks about 'selling a couple million'. Although he can't seem to make up his mind for the whole album, he still makes the most of the material and the results are outstanding. But don't worry! Most artists who rap from the heart can have a tendency to forget about beats along the way. But Jin never does. He has a lot of great beats on this CD. My personal favorite song is Get Your Handz Off. He has a lot of star quality in him. Hopefully he will be around for a long time.

5 out of 5 stars One of the dopest albums eva!.......2006-08-04

A yo this CD was hot. 5 stars, the Source should give it 5 mics. Most of the reviews are good, but he only sold 100,000? C'mon. you got all this garbage selling millions. What's up with that? Somethin's wrong with the world. My name is Quan and I'm tryin' to be a rapper now (I'm 14 and real). I hope alot of people listen to my album, because I deserve it. So does Jin and Joe Budden. Matter fact, I'ma try to get both of them on a song with me. The rest is history...classic.

As Chuck D. put it, "most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps." But quite a few of them have been signed to Def Jam records. Aside from a brief period in the early '90s (anyone remember Downtown Science?), rap's premier label has remained ahead of the game for the past 15 years. Proof positive is this collection. Starting with LL Cool J's classic "Radio," it gathers many of the label's early hits--singles that were wildly successful at a time when hip-hop didn't have many commercially viable outlets--along with several of its new generation platinum-plus selections.

Besides the well-chosen inclusion of Domino's sadly overlooked "Getto Jam" and Oran "Juice" Jones's classic "The Rain," there aren't many surprises in the lineup, which is a good thing. From EPMD to Jay-Z, all the songs you wanna hear are right here. On the minus side, 3rd Bass and Nice and Smooth could have been better represented, and we could have done without the Foxy Brown and Ja Rule tracks. All told, however, this is a bit of History worth owning. --Rebecca Levine

2 out of 5 stars Def Jam Needs To Open The Vaults (Rating: 5 out of 10- -2.5 stars).......2007-05-29

With a title like "Def Jam 1985-2001: The History Of Hip Hop, Vol. 1" you would think that they would take you through the history of their record company over a 16 year period. Well they do...sort of. Since '85 (the year I was born), Def Jam has had a major spin of artists that were on their roster, that had big hits. Artists like LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy really held down the company through the mid to late 80's with chart topping singles like "Radio", "Fight For Your Right" and "Fight The Power" respectively. Some of the lesser known artists from the 80's were on here as well like Oran "Juice" Jones with his song "The Rain" (the reason I bought this album, because I couldn't find the song anywhere else). Then in the 90's they have most of the artists who are currently hanging around today like Jay-Z (of course), DMX, Redman, Method Man, Foxy Brown. Most of them all scored hits and chart topping singles with the songs on here.

So why such a low rating? Good question. Every one of these song here bang, but this doesn't cover all of Def Jam's roster within the 16 year period. You're probably thinking that as big as Def Jam was, everybody wouldn't be able to fit on one CD. True, but the problem that I have is that most of these songs are easily accessable, with the exception of a few, and mostly on their solo albums. Notice how there are few artists from the west coast on here. In fact there are only two; Warren G. and Domino. Many people may not know that Def Jam left out a boat load of artists who had singles just as good as the ones on here and could have blown up if they had the correct promotion. Artists like Jayo Felony, Richie Rich, South Central Cartel (just to name a few) had banging singles just as the ones on this CD, but suffered poor promotion back in the 90's. Who ever was on Def Jam's marketing team should have been fired. Those people should have a place on this album as well as others that should be accessable to fans of Def Jam at a reasonable price. It sucks that we are given a CD full of people that everybody knows (not to mention there are aready a few other Def Jam Greatest Hits CD's that are floating around). Most of these songs were already played into the ground back in the day, and fans already have the albums that these songs are on.

What I'm trying to say is that Def Jam needs to expose the artists that they just forgot back in the day, not to mention let their albums go out of print. Here are some of the albums/artists who suffered poor promotion that didn't make it on the album: Take a Ride, All Day Everyday, Conversation, Seasoned Veteran, This Is the Shack, just to name a few. Given those album might not have had banging singles like the ones on this album, but if they had the proper promotion and air play, they would have gold/platnum plaques. Some of the lesser know artists get exposed on the Def Jam Music Group Inc.: 10th Year Anniversary, but not all of them...let alone paying a high price for that. It sucks that Def Jam has forgotten a chunk of their roster, and doing whatever it can to make sure they stay forgotten by not putting them on this LP. Buy this if you're looking for some old big name hits by big name artists at the time the songs came out. But you can make a Def Jam Greatest Hits CD yourself, and not spend any money on this here. Hopefully Def Jam will open their vaults, and dig deeper to expose fans of artists that they forgot on the "History of Hip Hop, Vol. 2" album, but with all the new artists and it's new management, there is a lesser chance of that happening. Peace.

5 out of 5 stars good.......2005-03-30

this is a good compilation but where the hell is t la rock and jazzy jay's it's yours? thats a rap classic for sure and i reckon def jam's first record should at least be on the greatest hits. its not on here and it ain't on the other one either. WTF?!?

5 out of 5 stars Def Jam Classics.......2001-08-10

Def Jam has developed the reputation of being the staple of hip-hop music. From the days when LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys ruled the airwaves to the modern times of Ja Rule and Method Man, theyv'e always been able to sign the superstar artists. Def Jam's History of Hip-Hop compilation captures the shining moments of their time as rap's dominant label in one album. Only the classic rap anthems make the record.Slick Rick's "Children Story" and EPMD's "Crossover" are too joints alone that make this album a must have. Throw in the G-funk of Warren G and Nate Dogg's Long Beach duet "Regulate", Jay-Z's club-banger "Can I Get A" and Mary J and Method Man's "All I Need Remix" and there are just too many jewels to pass up. All of these tracks belong on any bodys musical collection and theres no better way to get them than in one dope cd.

4 out of 5 stars REVIEW.......2001-02-20

This is a great CD with alot of good songs on it, spanning three decades. It has a variety of different styles and doesn't get old. It is great for me because I like new music as well as old school music.

5 out of 5 stars All Of These Are Just Dope!.......2001-02-19

Man, unless they remix these all to hell, there's no way this list can screwed up. I mean you have old school stuff like Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys, new school stuff like Jay-Z and Ja Rule, plus all of the isht in the middle. Thing is destined for stardom! Yeah, well I guess that's all there is to say.

4 out of 5 stars Cool New Stuff.......2002-08-15

Musically this is an awesome cd. Every song on this cd is awesome. The only thing is that this really isn't a look back at the last ten years. I mean some of it is, but alot of the songs are new. I mean, don't get me wrong, all of the new songs are great and worth the money. Also there is a problem with the track listing with the cd. All of the songs on the back of the cd are in the album, but in a different order. Also Blaze's "Juggalo Anthem" song is put in the middle and is not even listed, but it's a phat song so it's all good. The new songs are really good such as ICP's new one "It's Time" and Anybody Killa's "Hollowpoint" which is my favorate track on the cd. There are also some cool old tracks like Project Born with Esham and Myzery. Any Juggalos will dig this. Peace! MCL!

4 out of 5 stars Solid Representation of Good DJ's in the Past Two Decades.......2003-05-27

Generally, I'm not a big fan of anything affiliated with MTV, but this disc is a promising sampler of a number of great djs from the past 15 years. The only disappointment is that Dj Shadow doesn't appear, but they got just about every other good dj on hear, so I can't complain. Best tracks: Showtime at the Dump by Peanut Butter Wolf, Cut Chemist Suite by Ozomatli, and the The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash On The Wheels Of Steel by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five.

this c-d really got me into the dj scene. i picked it up expecting about 2 or 3 really good songs, but instead, the Whole c-d Was AWESOME. This c-d has to be one of my favorites of all time.you HAVE to get this c-d, i reccomend it for people who love to hear the dj's who scratch and make tight beats, some of the better songs are numbers, 2,3,7,8,9,10,12,&16.LOTS of really good songs

5 out of 5 stars Who's Who list of Hip Hop's most influential DJs.......2000-09-29

Where would hip hop be without pioneers like Grand Wizard Theodore, Grandmaster Caz and Granmaster Flash; turntable masters like DJ Q-Bert, Mix Master Mike, ColdCut and Rob Swift; and scratch geniuses/super-producers like Babu, Prince Paul, Peanut Butter Wolf, Cut Chemist and DJ Premier? If you wnated to start a hip hop university, these guys would make up your core faculty. Forget the emcees.

The only logical argument you could make against buying this is that you already own these tracks on their individual LP releases. But MTV did put some thought into this release, placing the tracks in chronological order--or close to it. There is a nice mix of old and young talent, but many legendary mixmasters were left out. They include:

Kool Herc, Kool DJ Red Alert, DJ Rhethmatic, Vinroc, Cash Money

The only criticism is that MTV should have treated these guys to a 3-disc box set instead of a just a single-disc complilation. But this CD provides a delicious slice of turntablist classics from the cream of the hip hop world.
