3 out of 5 stars Great Buy.......2007-04-26

I agree with Mr. Pac Dan about some of the songs not being 12 inches, but still is a great buy, especially as a constant enjoyment reminder of the real essence of music and just havin' a phenomenally great/quality time whenever you heard these songs.

4 out of 5 stars Old School Jams, Vol. 3.......2006-12-21

It has taken me years to finally find a disk with the "Original" version of "The Show" with Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew. For those in the know, the part where Slick Rick says "Me-Shell, Ma-Bell...." was strangely edited out in every other version of the song that I've ever come across on Compact Disc. A special "Thank You" to whomever found the "Original" 12-inch version!

The rest of the disk isn't bad, either. But, for me, it's strictly "The Show!" Four stars!!

2 out of 5 stars If You're Not Concerned With Quality.........................2006-09-13

Then you will enjoy this CD otherwise it's a waste of money, mostly Vinyl records transferred to CD and poorly done at that. You can clearly hear vinyl noise and pops/crackles. There should be a law that CD's transfered from vinyl records should state so on the package. I wasted my money.
"D-"

5 out of 5 stars The Word Is Out.......2006-07-17

I bought this CD for one song - "The Word Is Out" by Jermaine Stewart. I can't even tell you what is on the rest of the CD. I received it in a hurry, though, and I appreciate that. Thanks much, Angelia

4 out of 5 stars back to the old school.......2005-09-23

this is a nice collection of old school songs theres not one song I cant listen to.
I would recommened it for everybody who used to go clubbing back in the 80s..

4 out of 5 stars Old School Review.......2007-01-17

This CD and the music chosen for it has brought back many memories of those fun times. The beat, rhythm and vocals are great. I just feel like dancing every time I play this CD.

1 out of 5 stars You have got to be kidding.......2006-09-23

I get so tired of seeing the same songs put on Old school CD's. All they know is Maze "Before I let go" and the Isley Brother's "Between the Sheet", these artist have other hit songs that are worthy of Old School type CD's. If I see "More Bounce to the Ounce" on another CD, I am going to scream.

5 out of 5 stars classic jams.......2006-08-22

This is a great CD. Highly recommend it to those who danced in the 80's.

5 out of 5 stars Old School Jam - JAMS!.......2006-01-15

Great collection...brings back great memories. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars WHAT!!!.......2005-12-03

This was FAN TAS TIC, it brings back memories of house parties, jamming til the early morn'. My friends and family all want to borrow the CD's, I suggested they buy their own because it is an investment they won't regret. Loving and listening to it 24/7.

5 out of 5 stars Street Jams: Electric Funk, Vol. 1.......2005-10-28

I grew up on this stuff even though I'm only 16. All the songs blended hip-hip with techno. All the beats seem unique and exotic. They are all something that you don't hear in today's rap/hip-hop unless they use the beat. Missy Elliott got her "Lose Control" beat from the song "Clear" off this cd. This cd includes the mega hit "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force. Every song here is great and major part of rap/hip-hop history and culture but here are my top 5:

1.Planet Rock
2.Skanless Electric Funk Mega-Mix
3.Electric Kingdom
4.Clear
5.Jam on Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song)

5 out of 5 stars As Good As Music Gets!.......2005-09-13

Many of the sounds on this CD are about as good as rap/hip hop/electronic funk gets. Planet Rock is close to musical perfection in my opinion. How I wish the hip hop scene of today would return to its musical roots.

5 out of 5 stars Essential for fans.......2004-10-15

I can't praise this 4 cd set enough.

Sound quality is excellent, decent liner notes - fantastic track selection.

Part 1 includes "Planet Rock" (Afrika Bambaataa), "Play At Your Own Risk" (Planet Patrol) and "Rockit" (Herbie Hancock).

Parts 2, 3 and 4 include "Siberian Nights" (Twilight 22), "Egypt, Egypt" (The Egyptian Lover) "White Horse" (Laid Back), "Don't Stop The Rock" (Freestyle) So many classics and the "Skanless Electric Funk Megamixes" are brilliant!

Anyone with even a passing interest in this type of music would be advised to purchase this.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome collection.......2001-06-10

This CD is awesome! I just got it a few days ago and cannot stop playing it. There are so many early freestyle and hip-hop hits on here. Of course, you could not have an electric funk compilation without the classic Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa, which was one of the earliest (And best) hip-hop songs. Play At Your Own Risk by Planet Patrol is very catchy and easily danceable. The two megamixes are unbelievably good, and I think they should have made a CD with one long megamix. Another classic on here is Herbie Hancock's Rockit, which is infectious and awesome to dance too. If you like good, danceable, catchy music, and you are interested in listening to some early dance music, pick up this awesome CD. You will not be disapointed.

5 out of 5 stars oldschool must have.......2006-02-11

If you came up in the mid 80's, I mean like in high school or something like that then you will know what I am talking about. This album and the series bring back so many memories. It was when rap was "happy" and the beats are what you paid attention to and you could actually rap the whole song with the MC. These tracks are oldschool and most younger people won't get the lyric's or beats. If you are over thirty then you have to get these and if you are younger you might learn some history.

4 out of 5 stars Fantastic Beginnings of Hip Hop.......2005-10-21

A previous poster mad a really cruel review about this compilation series, and I've figured him all out. This individual is basically going on Amazon, and sampling soundbytes of certain albums, and just criticizing them just because he can. If you don't believe me, just check this person's listing of reviews. Every review is a "1 Star" Review, from Nine Inch Nails to The Killers. Please disregard his review, and listen to someone who actually "buys" and "listens" to music, and who was actually there during the beginnings of hip-hop. Many of these songs are still played at house parties, on mixshows, tv shows, and movies. The cool thing is that many jams of this era's hip hop was very lighthearted, fun, non-violent, and even downright silly, BUT they got the butts on the dancefloor, and that's what has been missing in hip hop and rap. This whole series I would recommend to anyone who is interested in historical origins of genres and sub-genres, or just want to relive a more innocent time. But like those kids on Reading Rainbow would say, "Don't Take MY Word For It"

1 out of 5 stars More cheesy disco rap.......2005-08-21

Ice-T is the only good rapper on here, The rest is lameo stupid disco schlock. This is posuer rap. im talking total losers. Stupid kiddie beats make this sound like an episode of Mr Rogers

Any record that leads off with Dick Vitale's ubiquitous jabberings is asking for trouble, and this third volume in the Jock Jams series is musically ill-equipped to pull out of the ensuing tailspin. The collection of inoffensive rap songs and R&B-tinged dance numbers does have a few highlights. KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way I Like It," regardless of what sort of material it shares company with here, is a classic, and Blackstreet kick out a decent rhyme with Dr. Dre on "No Diggity." On the whole, it might even make a passable soundtrack for an aerobics class. Besides that, however, you'll have to swim through a lot of musical filler and testosterone-driven flotsam to find anything that rises above an overwhelming and acute mediocrity. --Matthew Cooke

1 out of 5 stars Jock Jams.......2007-02-04

Anyone who pays full price for this is gonna be pissed. Name one Jock who listens to this crap. I just can't imagine professional athletes listening to Da' Dip on their way to a game. I think these CD's should not be taken seriously because they are way too funny to be for real.

5 out of 5 stars great.......2005-10-17

I love this CD, i work the score board at my brothers hockey games and i plan to use these song during the warm-ups.

5 out of 5 stars Non-Stop Fun!.......2001-04-14

Jock Jams Volume 3 is quite possibly the best in the series. It stars off with Dick Vitale's It's Awesome Baby speech, which kicks right into Tribal Dance by 2Unlimited (Remember them?) which is full of energy. Right after that is Republica's super hit Ready To Go and Tito Nieves's I Like It Like That, which is definately a classic. Quad City DJs have made it on to most dance compilations, and this one is no exception. C'Mon Ride The Train is one of the best songs on the album. Freak Nasty provides a pretty good track that is a combination of dance and rap. Crush provides yet another dance classic with Jellyhead, and then Blackstreet gives us their hit No Diggity with Dr. Dre. The next few tracks however are nothing exceptional until you hit Livin' Joys song Don't Stop Moving, which is as close to perfect as you can get. Then Rednex performs a strange combination of country and dance on Cotton Eye Joe, followed by a great Jock Jam megamix, which features many other popular songs at that time which didn't make the compilation. The album ends with Ray Castoldi's chicken dance. Overall, this is a very fun album that works well for parties.

4 out of 5 stars Wham! Bam! Slam! It's Awesome, Baby!.......2000-08-02

Jock Jams Volume 3 is one good album. It will definately get you pumped up.

Every song on this album gets my blood pumping. Hearing Dick Vitale first just set me up for the rest of this fast cd. "C'mon & Ride It," "I Like It Like That," and "That's the Way I Like It" are probably the three most well-known singles, but other great songs like "Da' Dip" and the thunderous "Tribal Dance" make this album super.

This album has something for everybody on it. Ending with "The Chicken Dance" was classic. This album is a great buy with 22 tracks on it, and it more than satisfies you with fast pumping entertainment. What are you waiting for? "Don't Stop, Get It, Get It!"

2 out of 5 stars It REALLY gets on your nerves!.......2000-02-27

My sister got this cd and she plays it all the time. It gets soooo annoying. I was sick of it the second time I heard it. The only reason I even gave it 2 stars is because it is good to make up gymnastics routines to. But other than that it is a TOTAL waste of money!

    Perfect for athletes--budding, established, weekend, or even armchair. The Jock Jams series (along with the Jock Rock and Slam Jams series) collects top hits in their most danceable, groove-shaking format--perfect for a workout or a party where you want to feel like you're at a stadium. There's plenty to like here: Puff Daddy's toe- tapping, posthumous tribute to Biggie Smalls, "Mo Money Mo Problems"; the annoyingly catchy "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" from the Backstreet Boys; Fatboy Slim's wicked nick of the riff from the Who's "I Can't Explain" on "Going Out of My Head." There's even some fun vintage Jock Jams tracks, such as Salt 'N Pepa's "Push It" and House of Pain's "Jump Around." Still, who would have thought that a song with the refrain "pissing the night away" would end up as a jock anthem? Certainly not Chumbawamba, even though "Tubthumping" makes an appearance here. The world moves in mysterious ways. --Randy Silver

    5 out of 5 stars FUN!!!.......2001-05-13

    I love CDs with continuos mixing, and this is no exception. You've got all the coolest pop, dance and rap hits on one collection. The highlight is Going Out Of My Head by one of my favorite artists Fatboy Slim. You also get Everybody (Backstreet's Back) by Backstreet Boys, One More Night by the amazing Amber, mainstream hip-hop anthems such as Raise The Roof and Gettin' Jiggy With It, and the collection even goes Old School with House Of Pain's Jump Around. Who would have thought Quad City DJs could have made it onto yet another party collection? They did though, with the incredibly catchy Space Jam. Another great song is the 2 Unlimited Megamix which contains all of their biggest hits. If you like the music that they play at stadiums, or you just are looking for an instant party, this is definately the CD for you.

    4 out of 5 stars Great for Cheering!.......2000-04-05

    I'm on a cheerleading/dance squad, and we used about four or five songs on this cd for our half time routines for football and basketball season. It's great to use for performances, stretching, or just for fun.

    5 out of 5 stars Jock Jams Vol.4.......2000-01-02

    This is my favorite Jock Jams! It is so up beat! The Son of Jock Jams is my ultimate favorite mix. My pom-pon squad used it as one of our dances, and got the most intrest and attention from people! It is truly a great cd!

    5 out of 5 stars Jock Jams4 special review.......1999-12-24

    I think this is a great cd. For people who are into this type of music. I think it was probably the best Jock Jams CD yet. If you like Jock Jams or Jock Rock or slam Jams you'll definately love this CD. Some cool songs: were in my opinion: Gettin' Jiggy With it, Backstreet's back, space jam,unlimited megajam, though most of the songs were great.

    4 out of 5 stars jock jams vol.four from my point of view.......1999-12-20

    The mix was good but not better than the first one,the mega jam was great ive never heard of one till then and i thought it was awesome baby with a capital A.But i want to know why they dont use slam jams songs in the mixes,or jock rock vol.one songs?.I think putting oldies,and some country songs stirs the cd up and makes it better.And,heres a thought maybe add some Reggae it might make the mixes sound better,or even the cd.I liked slam jams vol.one maybe use some of those songs on new jock jams as i see they did on jock rock 2000:elvis costello-pump it up.Keep adding:Fatboy Slim all my friends and i like him.
