5 out of 5 stars The mixtape ma mixtape ma mixtape messiah.......2006-01-14

let me start off by saying,if you don't have it,get it. So lets everyone take a moment of silence for who,MIKE JONES,who,MIKE JONES,who,DIKE JONES,and what make it so bad,he damn near dedicated the whole first cd to him,(WHAT A FREIND).But all and all this is a 3cd set that you will bump over and over,just get ready for your boys to always won't to hold 1 of the cds.

5 out of 5 stars one of the BEST LYRICIST in the rap game.......2005-12-23

Chamillionaire! Man this guy goes hard, from slick freestyles to just jaw dropping rhymes that make you say "damn thats tight". I love chamillionaire's music ive been a fan of him since 99 and still to this day, i've listened to his music since we was just a youngin' comin up and now ive heard him mature in his game and really admire his work. If you aint heard of Chamillionaire then you MUST get this album its by far the BEST mixtape CD ive ever heard, if you doubt HOUSTON music and chopped and screwed music you WONT doubt this album trust me. Go out and get chamillionaires cd's, you wont be dissapointed, HOUSTON and TEXAS have a problem, we are putting our names on the map once in for all, its the TAKE OVER

5 out of 5 stars the best Chamillionaire.......2005-12-22

yeah, this is my personal favorite of Chamillionaire. 3 Cds that are off tha m-fing chayne. my mayne at his best. for those feelin cham check out 50/50 twin. He gonna blow big. Lyrically he dope and i gonna say this.....he even better than Cham.

King Koopa iz runnin da south. Listen to da dis n youll know why hes called da mixtape messiah. Chamillitary Mane!!!

5 out of 5 stars The Truth.......2005-11-07

I was a bit slow getting this mixtape due to not knowing how it'd be, but thanks to the reviews I read online and the constant 5 stars I've seen this album get, I ran to Best Buy to purchase the album. I have to tell you, this is by FAR one of the best albums/mixtapes I've ever heard. If you like an artist with a smooth flow, punchlines that will make you say "Damn he got at 'em" this album is definately for you. I've recommended it to a lot of cats, even Screwheads that don't have it yet. With over 60 songs in total between the 3 disk set, One standard album, a Chopped and Screwed version of the first album, and a Classic third album, it won't fall short of expectations. The -only- downside to this album is the constant skits throughout it. Some people like skits, and even though they are funny at times I'm the type of person that likes the material rather than the insults behind the scene. If you don't got it, get it.

Who better to take the traditionally underground art of DJ mix tapes aboveground than Funkmaster Flex, New York City's mainstream hip-hop radio hero? This album is the quintessential hip-hop party album, ripe with ear candy. Talk back to call-and-response tracks from DJ Kool, Frankie Cutlass, and Doug E. Fresh. Remember when with classic hooks from Run DMC, Marley Marl, Special Ed, and the king of all mix-tape loops, Mark the 45 King. Bounce your head to drop-in freestyle raps from hip-hop's biggest East Coast names (Method Man, Erick Sermon, Q-Tip, and Lauryn Hill, among others). If you can stomach Flex's own persistent presence--he self-promotes on Mix Tape, Volume 1 almost as much as he does on his late-night radio show--you will appreciate this shrink-wrapped, extended party jam. --Todd Levin

4 out of 5 stars hip hop win.......2007-05-19

this is the best mix tape . non arguablee hip hop is safe and secure when presenting its mix tape . '60 minutes of funk' volume one funkmaster flex

1 out of 5 stars What a mess!.......2007-01-04

How do you tell the beginning and end of a song? What's the message? What are the lyrics? Who knows where the melody and harmony is, and what's left is drowned out by the rhythm. What's worse, many of the artists sound alike. Guys, shouting "Puerto Rico!" over and over isn't music.

I'll stick to Black Eyed Peas or Alicia Keys, thanks.

4 out of 5 stars Before Flex Went Corporate {4 Stars}.......2006-07-26

The reviewer below me doesn't seem to know as much about hip hop as he'd like to think. First of all, comparing Flex to JMJ is like comparing Kool Moe Dee to KRS One -- while they both might be good, there's really no contest. They came up in different ages anyway. Also, this album was released on Loud/RCA, not Def Jam

Anyway, back to the album. In actuality, it's 70 minutes of funk, but who's counting, right? It's a mixtape, so I guess what determines how good the album is are the songs chosen, the cuts and scratches, and the freestyles. All of which are tight on this joint. On top of that, you have interesting collaborations like Sadat X and Akinyele on "Loud Hangover" and the Fat Joe/Big Pun freestyles and Mobb Deep instrumentals.

My only beef with the album is the drop off toward the end. The Kaotic Styles freestyle is boring. Things just aren't as exciting or creative as the beginning or middle of the album, but that kind of thing is kept to a minimum. Outside of that, things move along nice and steady.

If you want a taste of Funkmaster Flex before he went corporate and started dropping the blinged out mixtapes, then check this joint. He's nice behind the wheels and this album is the perfect showcase for his skills. He'd go on to drop a few more in the series, but he'd never top this CD. I recommend grabbing this one while you still can.

Standout Tracks: Keith Murray & Redman Freestyle, Loud Hangover (My Favorite), Fugees Freestyle, Speech (KRS One Freestyle), Everyday & Everynight, and Give Up The Goods (Just Step)

5 out of 5 stars Much better than The Tunnel, this mixtape has good beats.......2001-03-10

Funkmaster Flex's first mix tape is much better than his later ones. The beats are great. Method Man, Redman, Fugees, Mobb Deep, you name it some of the biggest hip hop groups are featured on here. The beats on this album are excellent. This is definetly a must have for any fan of Flex or rap.

5 out of 5 stars Has the same feel as old-school punk.......2007-03-18

I saw these guys live and they put on a great show! I became a fan pretty much after hearing the first song and can't wait to see them again. They have kind of the same raw energy and feel of the original girl-fronted punk bands like Penetration, X-Ray Spex, Vice Squad, etc. These guys are definitely worth checking out.

5 out of 5 stars Fresh .......2007-02-16

With the redundant sounds coming from popular radio this band is a fantastic infusion of raw energy. The songs have nothing to hide and shouldn't. They have a very upbeat lively sound. I hope they get some airplay since the radio waves are dull at best.

4 out of 5 stars They deserve an ear...for sure.......2006-11-10

...picked up the album, caught them on Conan last week, they were great. She reminds me very much of when no doubt first came out into the music scene with a killer female front singer on a rock band. I see a bright future for them. I especially liked "a la mode" off the mix tape.

5 out of 5 stars The BEST up and coming band .......2006-11-03

This CD is an amazing release from Los Abandoned. They just played track #4 Van Nuys (Es Very Nice) on Late Night with Conan O'brian last night at they proved true to form that they can rock as hard on stage as they can on this fabulous CD. A must have!

5 out of 5 stars Discover greatness!.......2006-09-16

What a fantastic band. Lady P and three guys are a group you will love. Not a weak cut on the album. Buy it!!

Opening with Clara Rockmore's reworking of Tchaikovsky with the theremin, and finishing with one of Brian Eno's ambient soundscapes, OHM artfully succeeds in its goal of giving a representative (as opposed to the impossible, comprehensive) overview of the first several decades of electronic music. Over 3 discs, 42 compositions, and 96 pages of notes and photos, OHM clearly illustrates the producers' and contributing writers' point that early electronic music is much of the foundation of contemporary music. Herein lies the connective tissue bridging musique concrète, 20th-century classical, electronic experimentation, and the theoretical avant-garde to psychedelia, ambient, dub, techno, electro, and synthpop and the globalization of sound. The groundbreaking uses of loops, sampling, drones, remixes, and cut-and-paste technology are put fully into context. The diversity of music included makes any sort of summation impossible, but that is also the point: electronic music is not really a genre, but an open field of endless possibility. From John Cage's famous "William's Mix" of tape snippets to Karkheinz Stockhausen's electronic orchestral compositions, from David Tudor and Holger Czukay's experiments in unrelated blendings of audio elements to David Behrman's supremely peaceful duet between computers and musicians, the aural renegades on OHM tread where none (save a few of their contemporaries) had gone before. The liner notes convey the incredible amount of hard work and experimentation it took to stitch together many of these pieces in the predigital era. Putting aside the inevitable quibbles about what's missing (much of it due to legal and/or logistical issues), a more complete collection of musical eggheads, eccentrics, and visionaries is hard to imagine. --Carl Hanni

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars excellent but uncomplete.......2006-11-12

Althought most of the music here is an excellent collection of electronic music history, this 3 CDs lack of the important contribution given by the RAI phonology studios of Milan, Italy in the 50s
(which was bigger than Koln's WDR studios) with Bruno Maderna, Luciano Berio and Luigi Nono.
This is a big mistake. Milans studios were the biggest of europe and produced many important electroacoustic pieces.
If the collection aim to describe faithfully electronic music history, it should include this artists too.

4 out of 5 stars To call it music may be a bit limiting. .......2006-10-24

Some of the tracks on here are "music". That is that they contain all the bits we're trained to experience as music -- melody, etc. Some are not, and the composers would be the first people to tell you that. A lot of these works are reactions to ingrained rules, so they're bound to be jarring.

A more successful way to approach such a broad and varied collection of audio experimentation is to think of it as curated sound. This isn't something to wash the dishes to, or to seduce someone to (although if you did manage to seduce someone with the recordings on this anthology, HOLD ON TO THAT PERSON, because they've got to be a keeper). These are unique sound textures that deserve a close, probably solitary listen, and I think if you're in the right frame of mind, it can be a very rewarding listen.

My main complaint is sequencing: each dicrete piece follows it's own internal logic, so there are more than a couple rough gear changes. However, since each piece is so different, and the collection is so varied, I'm not sure that you could totally escape that.

4 out of 5 stars A worthwhile collection.......2006-01-11

The OHM collection contains some of those ground breaking electronic compositions that have shaped today's styles, from the early electronic instruments of Theremin and Martenot, through Pierre Schaeffer's Music Concrete tape music and the electronic music of Stockhausen and Subotnick, to the mainframe computer output of Risset and Chowning.

It is unfair to mark this collection down due to the production quality and 'musicality' of its contents, to do so would be to staggeringly miss the point of the development of electronic music through the 20th Century. What this collection shows is the ideas behind those at the cutting edge of the genre before many could even conceive of such output. That said it is hard going at points, as experimental music can be.

Highlights for me are no doubt Olivier Messiaen's 'Oraison' on CD 1, David Tudor's 'Rainforest Version 1' on CD 2 and on CD 3 David Behrman's 'On the Other Ocean' and Maryanne Amacher's 'Living sound Patent Pending'.

1 out of 5 stars OhMyGodHowDreadful.......2005-08-15

Ok, this collection is supposed to be early works and, thus not expected to be very sophisticated or polished. But the OHM collection sounds like the first attempt of a spastic cat turned-loose on a Moog keyboard. When it is not boreing, this collection of random and dissonant sounds (I can't call it music) is without any redeeming qualities to make it worth while. Don't get me wrong, I am a long-time fan of Wendy (nie Walter) Carlos and some other real pioneers of electronic music. However, I find that the Ohm collection has no similar qualities and is a major disappointment.

5 out of 5 stars Kid Stockhausen.......2003-01-17

This is required listening for anybody interested in the history of electronic music. Although implicitly aiming for the techno music audience, this audio history is overwhelmingly focused on the classical avant-garde of electro-acoustic composers. The closest you'll get to pop electronica is the Brian Eno track at the end of the third disc. No Kraftwerk, no Moroder, etc. Instead "OHM" manages to point to the continuities between, say, John Cage and artists currently working at the experimental edges of electronica (so-called IDM). It seems to be saying, "You think Kid 606 is visionary? Well check out this Stockhausen track from '59!"

Admittedly, some of the songs are much more interesting to think about than they are to listen to. Some of the early pieces that were made through thosuands of hours of pains-taking tape-splicing could be made today in an afternoon with a digital audio editor and a few effects plug-ins.

It is a beautiful package, containing a 90 page booklet of essays, quotations from the featured artists, and photographs. What all music should be: an education in daring.

4 out of 5 stars Chopped & Screwed.......2006-03-26

I haven't heard the orginal release but I picked up the Chopped & Screwed version today. I'm not much of a Chopped & Screwed fan but it was impressive, which brought me here to purchase the orginal release. A common problem with the Screwed/Chopped is that you can't hear enough of the artists voice/inflections to appreciate the work.

Anyway, her lyrics sound a little more mature and earned.

1 out of 5 stars Garbage.......2005-01-05

Gangsta Boo is one of my favorite female rappers (checc reviews of her other albums) but this album is not hitting. The production on the album is terrible and her signature flow is almost nonexistent. Even her lyrics are wack on this album. One of the freestyles she did was horrendous and I'm wondering how it made the album. Then I started wondering how much time was actually put into the final product. The first three songs are the only good songs: Sippin & Spinnin, Zoned Out, and Scared, The rest are throwaway tracks. Hopefully this is only a bump in the road for Lady Gangsta Boo, cause she has the potential to release great albums. Not recommended. 1.5 stars

4 out of 5 stars Gangsta Boo's hottest release ever!!!.......2004-11-27

She really proves everything that she talks about. probebly one of the realest females in the rap industry. This cd has so many hot tracks, and only two duds. The beats on this cd are better than they have ever been and there are some really good rappers featured on this album, 8-ball, Playa fly, Bun-B, etc. There is also a screwed and chopped version available out there if you can find it and that version is very good if you like that kind of music.

4 out of 5 stars Boo's Back!.......2004-08-28

You have to show love to the lady. She left her previoous represtatives that she'd grown up with and started her own label with a sick cartel. Her artists (featured on this CD) are smart in sticking with Boo. She's living proof that women can kick in the door and stay in the game for longevity. This album is tight. It's a must-have for all Gangsta Boo fans.

4 out of 5 stars Before Flex Went Corporate Pt. II {4 Stars}.......2006-09-10

Why Flex calls his albums 60 minutes of funk when they're more like 72 minutes of funk is beyond me. Not that it's a bad thing though, Flex brings the noise on this album. There are plenty of bangers and club rockers on this album. It has a lot more meat to dig into this time around. His first album was good, but there was a severe drop off toward the end of that album. Flex does a great job of blending, scratching, and juggling on Volume 2. Jay Z freestyles, DJ Kool snippets, classic old school rap, it's all there for the taking on this LP.

The first problem I have with this album is the use of 70's funk. I'm as big a fan as anyone of classics like "Flashlight", "Outstanding", and "Rising To The Top", but they stuck out like sore thumbs. Simply put, they didn't fit on the album....and he didn't blend them very well either. Secondly, whoever told Mary J. Blige she could rap should be tied up and forced to listen to her horrid rapping for a month straight. Also, if you're looking for the 12" version of the classic "No Joke/Follow Me" (which is mixed and scratched 20 times better than the album version), then look elsewhere, it's not included on this album. I actually bought the single on wax before I bought this album and I remember being thoroughly disappointed. The rest of the album is pretty tight though.

The Mixtape Volume II: 60 Minutes Of Funk is the last great Funkmaster Flex album. Volume III is good, but it's where Flex starts to lose his street appeal and aims for the mass appeal. If you want to hear some dope stuff from back when Flex still had his ear to the street, then check this and Volume I out. Two thumbs up from this listener.

Standout Tracks: Boot Camp Clik Freestyle (My Favorite), Back To Like (However Do You Want Me), Clear My Throat, Nas Freestyle, No Joke/Follow Me, Sucker MC's, Tour, Jay Z Freestyle, Relax & Party, Puff Daddy & Mase Freestyle, Lil' Kim Freestyle, I'm Not Feeling You, and Lady Saw Freestyle

5 out of 5 stars This CD Is Hot.......2001-06-06

Me being a DJ myself this is probably one of the most impressive cds i have heard in a while. With flex you can always count on him beacsue hes got the beats and the top rap stars to make this cd a hit. it has like 45 tracks mosstietly freestyle but thats aight still got a t least 82 minutes of audio. so get this cd or any other funkmaster flex cd. Mix tape volume 4 is the best.

3 out of 5 stars It's alright..........2000-06-14

The beats are alright but their nothing compared to the newest CD, The Tunnel. Most of the songs are alright, the best being the Busta Rhymes song.

The Mix Tape Vol. 3 was subtitled The Final Chapter. And that's what it should have been. But DJ/hip-hop opportunist Funkmaster Flex has once again rounded up the usual suspects for 26 cuts of his all too familiar mix tape flair. The LOX's Jadakiss continues his endless campaign for a solo career with the synthed-out "I Don't Care." M.O.P. go uncomfortably commercial with their remix of the underground hit "Ante Up," which features king of hip-hop crossover Busta Rhymes and newcomer Remy Martin. Faith Evans and Ginuwine add new and somewhat interesting R&B flavor, and Eminem and the D-12 impress as always on the bass-heavy "Words Are Weapons." Nature's "The Needle" is also a gem. But the rest is just costume jewelry--Flex Protégés Inc. and artists who come off like they're just doing it for the exposure. Without Flex's filler and ad-libs, the true funk here would probably add up to only 20 minutes. --Kenji Jasper

2 out of 5 stars CAN I GO BACK TO THE TUNNEL??.......2005-04-08

This album is more like a mixtape than any of Flex's other efforts. I usually dont like mixtapes. Its impossible to get the best artists to give up quality tracks that you know they need for thier own albums. by this time, dj clue is annoying everybody with the shout outs in the background so thank goodness flex is better than that. other than a few songs mentioned by dmx, jadakiss and faith i found no reason to play this album over again. this prompts me to ask, Can we go back to the tunnel?? That has some of the best representation of 99-00 hip hop anywhere!

4 out of 5 stars Decent "mixtape" from Flex - maybe 3.5 stars.......2004-12-23

Funkmaster Flex is back on the boards again to bring another "mixtape". This is more of a compilation album, he doesn't send out shouts over the songs that much (which actually is good) but there are not many freestyles that are common on mixtapes, just a lot of 2 verse songs and a few R&B ones as well. Not as good as Vol. 2 though and about equal w/ Vol. 3 ( I never heard Vol. 1). It has no classic songs but 2 classic freestyles, and out of the 23 "songs" there's 7 or 8 I skip. Overall it is a pretty good album though and fans of east coast rap should get a copy.

2 out of 5 stars Not as good as vols 1, 2, 3.......2002-04-11

Flex gets commercial on this latest mixtape............in fact, this to me ain't a mixtape at all. Where's the scratchin'? Where's the shouts? On previous mixtapes, Flex would take it back to the old school..........that's not in this album at all. Expect for Ante Up remix and Goodlife, this album is just average. If you listen to his first three mixtapes (classics, might I add), you'll see what I'm talking about.

5 out of 5 stars Funk Flex's Best Mix.......2001-10-23

Funkmaster Flex is the best rap/hip hop dj out there. and here he delivers his best album yet. on this one he has rap all stars such as dmx, eminem, ludacris, ja rule and many more... but also other rappers such as lil bow wow and drag-on bring out thier best. i dont really like lil bow wow or jermain dupri but on this cd funk flex makes them sound good, and he does the same for many other rappers

the bottom line is you should cop this album cus its the best rap mix out there!

3 out of 5 stars 'Just Bought It'.......2001-07-25

I just bought this album from the shop, and i was attracted to it because it the 'Ante Up' Remix in it. I have had a quick glance through the album and the intro sounds pretty good, other hits on it is 'Come Over' Feat. Nelly, "Did She Say " So So Def with Lil' Bow Wow. I have a feeling that when i really get into this album their will be bad songs and good songs but hopefully the good songs will make up for the bad ones. But who knows.

    Album Description

    The second in Blue Note's new themed series is their after party set. The sophisticated chill-out compilation. With such an extensive back catalog to shoot at the compilers have narrowed things down to a kind of soul-jazz fusion flavor with Lonnie Smith's 'Dancing In An Easy Groove' perhaps best summing up the mood. Ten tracks in all with other artists including Earl Klugh, The Three Sounds, Lou Donaldson, Duke Pearson, Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, Eddie Henderson and Bobbi Hutcherson. Sophisticated chill-out for those a little advanced for the cares and the challenges of the Cafe Del Mar. 2000.
