America - Afro-American Folk Music From Tate And Panola Counties Mississippi - Various Artists

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: One weak track

...the rapper grew up, because he had to represent Palmdale, because it doesn't seem to have been put on the map yet for music, so any exposure is good for this small Californian county which raised the Afroman. Although this one is rather long, it is of consistent high quality, so you cannot complain about it at all. **Five Stars** 9. Mississippi Album From: "Because I Got High" Year: 2000 Length: 5:22 Following straight on from his current home, Afroman, brings us back to his childhood, in which he was brought up in the Dirty South of America, in Mississippi.

...Play it LOUD - Various Artists After seeing the advert on TV regualary i bought the CD from a leading supermarket, this cost me about £11.99 and this was when it had just come out on the market, which i thought was a fair price for what you get, you get 2 cds, in a very nice decorated case which shows some fancy graphics with a man with headphones on listening to music looking up at the more well known band names on the cd's which are presented in bold capital writing, to give it a loud effect. Each cd includes 20 tracks which are listed below CD 1 = Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby Klaxons - Golden Skans The Killers - Bones Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger The Automatic - Raoul Oasis - Live Forever Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection Hard-Fi - Living...
