"A kind of uneven remix package that will have audiences split, but still a whole lotta music for the price. The house mixes are all long, and by some very big remixers, but the trend seems to be to create a house groove and then barely use any of Kim's vocals or rap. So it's really like a bunch of house dubs, some hardhouse, some soft house.



John Harris's mix of "Lighters Up" is a slow piano house mix, but it uses the most vocal and runs 6:15. The Hani mix is a tribal/electro dub with basically no vocal and runs 7:41. The Tego mix runs 3:46 and is a hip-hop raga mix with a male rapper featured.



The Pull club mix of "Whoa" is a mellow hip hop mix running 6:31. The E-smoove dub is a funky house mix that actually utilizes some of the vocal and runs 8:18. The DFA club mix is a hip hop mix with a heavy bass beat. Very hot and it runs 4:20. The True Visionary extended club mix runs 4:36 and is like Kim meets Barry White, with a slow jam feel.



The Jason Nevins Goldfinger mix of "Big Momma Thang" runs 8:13 and is noisy hardhouse with very little of Kim's rap (just a few explicit words). The Tronco Trax mix runs 7:31 and is a deep tribal dub that basically repeats one explicit word over and over again but eventually breaks into a hint of rap.



And finally "Queen B@#$h" is remixed by That Kid Chris. It runs 7:57 and is a very uninspired deep tribal mix that doesn't go anywhere. Dark and moody.



In terms of the house mixes, there's nothing all that dance floor oriented here--feels like filler. The hip hop mixes are all kind of weak except for the slamming DFA mix of Whoa. Still this is cool remix package to have if you're a fan of Kim."

LONG LIVE LIL' KIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I was hesitant at first to purchase this ep based on the reviews here and i'm glad i ignored them because the remixes are not bad people! I'm not into dance music per say and so for me to enjoy these remixes says a lot! They're GOOD!

And FYI, the guy rapping on put your lighters up is the one and only Tego Calderon! He's brilliant as a rap artist-worth checking out and it's awesome to hear him with Lil' Kim!



What I wonder is if any of these remixes will make an appearance as the bonus tracks on the re-issue version of the album The Naked Truth?! If they don't then please do yourself the favour of buying this ep that isn't bad at all!"
