Synopsis

Album Description
The incredible DJ Jazzy Jeff presents the second installment of one of the best loved hip hop compilations of all time. The legendary first volume of Hip Hop Forever was mixed by Kenny Dope of Masters At Work fame and now DJ Jazzy Jeff is set to raise the bar with his star-studded collection. Classic hip hop, hard to find jams and new favorites are all represented and mixed as only DJ Jazzy Jeff can. Hip Hop Forever has commanded respect from hip hop heads old and new, the series? UK launch party in 1998 was hosted by hip hop legends Marley Marl and Pete Rock. After releasing his amazing artist album The Magnificent in 2002, it was inevitable that we would present to the world DJ Jazzy Jeff?s first official mix CD. Those of you who saw DJ Premier, Grandmaster Flash, Kid Capri and DJ Jazzy Jeff?s tribute to Jam Master Jay at the BET awards last year will remember how Jeff received a standing ovation. It is this uncanny ability to move a crowd coupled with unprecedented turntable wizardry that is captured on volume two of Hip Hop Forever. For the collectors, this very special installation of Hip Hop Forever will be available as a mixed full-length CD as well as in limited edition, un-mixed 2xCD. Regardless of which format you choose, sit back and enjoy a fine mix by possible the greatest hip hop DJ of all time. A great mix of old, new, classic and fine obscurities from artists including: Nas, Raekwon, Cypress Hill, Pete Rock, Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest and Jaylib.
 

CD Reviews

Mixed CD vs. Limited Edition
Scott D. Gribble | Baltimore MD | 05/28/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Ok, the original mixed cd version of this was great. Just great classic tracks from (or at least staying true to) the golden era of Hip-Hop. After listening to this version and herd that the Limited offered an Unmixed Cd as well, I was excited to have many of these great tracks in full form as well. Unfortunatly, somehow all of the songs on the mixed cd DO NOT appear at all on the unmixed disc. Why???? I have no clue. Either Jeff wanted to include more tracks or what, i have no idea. Surprisingly enough it takes away more than it does help. It's especially dissapointing to see Jeru's Can't Stop the Prophet Remix (which is hard to find) replaced with the original version that everyone can get on his album. Other tracks you might be dissapointed not to find in full form are:
I.N.I. - Square One
Phife Dawg - Flawless
Wildchild feat. Vinia Mojica - Party U
J-Live - Braggin' Writes
The Pharcyde - DropI don't wanna take anything away from the Original Mixed version of this cd, which is outstanding, but buyers should be weary of some surprises."
Wow you must buy this album
