"BEFORE DR.DRE, THERE WAS EGYPT. A VERY UNDERAPPRICIATED PIONEER OF HIP HOP, HE WAS THE LAUNCHING PAD FOR WEST COAST HIP-HOP... NO DOUBT. I HAVE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HE CAME OUT WITH INCLUDING THE RARE CUT, "VOICES" WHICH WAS RELEASED ON THE 12" B-SIDE OF THE CLASSIC,"GIRLS" DON'T FORGET THAT HE DISOVERED RODNEY-O & JOE COOLEY, PLUS BOBBY JIMMY & THE CRITTERS!"
All the Best, all the sounds we miss from the 80's.

"He made his own music style famous, now own his best collection of his best tracks! An absolute awesome cd every person who loved the old style techno-funk music. I love it, I swear I do."
If you love Electro Funk and heavy breathing this is it!

"I use to dance to the Egyptian Lover back in the late 80s. His songs were catchy, easy to remember (damn he repeated himself a lot), and had the 808 thump. Heavily influenced by the Freestyle/Afrika Bambaataa/Kraftwerk sound, he added the LA funk and casanova persona with that signature breathing. Some of these songs are kinda long and get a little similar but heard as singles or in shuffle mode with other songs, they still stand out. I dig Freak-A-Holic, Sexy Style and Egypt, Egypt. The Alezyby Inn is a great title. (What a naming genius!) The Lover was the Electro mack of the 80s and this stuff is still pimp for its genre."
The best jam cd you will ever own.....

"What can I say about the egyptian lover other than he definitely is the king of old school jams. I had every album that he put out. I love my king of ectasy cd, and I challenge all these "up and comers" to try to top this TRUE giant in the industry. Only complained about this album, is that there were still a lot of awesome stuff he did that was left out... I want ya, and my beat goes boom, and what is a dj if he can't scratch, but This is definitely the best Cd to have, and he does showcase a lot of his music on this one... My favorite is no doubt " The Lover "... I used to mix this with planet rock and the crowd got hyped..."
