"Nothing but fun listening - that is what this disc is all about.
Taking you back to a day when hip/hop and rap where in an infancy stage, these cuts remind you how revolutionary the sound of early hip hop truly was.
There is no filler on this disc - you know every one of these songs, and they sound as fresh and as good as they did 20 years ago.
"Planet Rock" with its thick grooves and "Don't Stop" chorus has to take you back to the day - "Ladies First", with not only the choice vocals of Latifah, but the added joy of the rapid fire delivery of the long-missing Monie Love - "Humpty Dance" with the Digital Underground having fun "gettin' busy in the Burger King restroom" and a killer dance groove - "Me Myself and I", with the only rappers that could rival the Fat Boys for entertainment value in a rap - "Jump Around" - still an anthem to this day, and still sounding as fresh as ever - Naughty By Nature's one-two punch of "OPP" and "Hip Hop Hooray"...and that's only half the cuts on this disc.
You'll sing, you'll dance, you'll be reminded of how much fun you had in the clubs. There isn't more fun to be had for under $... on any disc that wil come out this year."
