China - The Very Best Of Chinese Music - Various Artists

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

...Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap. Put together in 2003, this def jam idea includes songs by Nas, Mobb Deep and Notorious BIG, some made especially for the album some old tracks that just fit.

...If your like me and love your dance music no matter what era it's in then you're going to love this cd created by the ministry of sound. I own alot of ministry of sound cds and each one never leaves me with disappoinment. I think this one is by far the best they have brought out, with songs ranging from Basshunter to Snap your garunteed to have a boogie when your listening to these cds.

This cd is ideal for playing in the car, or when your getting ready for a night out or even if your organising your own house party!... Read review

...I've always been a fan of Power Ballad's and used to often watch the Magic Channel when they had them on for hours and hours so when I opened this for my birthday I was ecstatic. This sort of music takes me back to my childhood and reminds me of times that I spent with my grandparents at there house, as they were obsessed with music and anything in the hit parade as it was called then was purchased on vinyl which now all reside in a huge cabinet at my nan's house. I think the album title however is a little deceiving "The Very Best of Power Ballads - The Greatest Driving Anthems ever". Now in my opinion that contradicts itself a little and I think there is a difference between Power Ballads and Driving Anthems. In my opinion a Power Ballad - as it says in the little is a ballad - quite simple and a driving anthem can actually be... Read review
