Grandes De La Music Cubana - Guantanamera - Various Artists

Advantages: A few really good tracks, some De La Soul tunes you have never heard before
Disadvantages: The album has no flow, a few weak remixes

...together. The rap gets too busy at times with rappers stepping over each other. I know it is supposed to sound loose and fun but it ends up sounding like high school kids rapping along. I skip this one too. More than U know (Prince Paul featuring De La Soul) 4:25~ This is a track taken from Prince Paul's 1999 album Prince Among Thieves. If you remember back, Prince Paul is who led De La Soul to Tommy Boy and you could say he gave them their first big break. Prince Paul trying to go the route of Sean Combs as producer then artist brought De La Soul in on the one track to add some punch to his release (fun fact #5). This is a really basic rap with looped samples as the beat and the obligatory record scratches as the scripted spots. The lyrics tell a cryptic tale about buying drugs.

Advantages: its good if your into pop music
Disadvantages: its not good if your into any other type of music

...when i heard they were bringing yet another now compilation album i was gob smacked because i think its about time they stopped bringing them out .they are ok but when they are bringing this many out its just wasteing the buyers money.this one i found fairly decent concidering i prefer rock and indie music.you do actually get value for money with this product.i think they should stop bringing these now albums out because they are just full of the same crap everytime you listen to one.If you like your pop music fair enough go and buy it but its not my cup of tea at all.they should start mixing them up with rock music and other genres.they could call it now rock and so on for the other genres....

Advantages: CONTAINS ALL SONGS FROM THE FILM
Disadvantages: WEAK BONUS TRACK

...If you enjoyed the film you'll love the CD. If you haven't seen the film and you're age 5 to 14 you'll probably still love it. It has all the main songs from the film, including both versions of You are the Music in Me by Troy & Gariella and Sharpay. The bonus track is weird but the 10 other songs justified the cost of the CD without worring about the bonus track. Very popular with all the girls at my daughters' primary school but unsure if it is as popular with older children. Despite that i have to admit that it is also very popular with their forty-two year old mother! An ideal Christmas present or stocking filler if they haven't got it already.... Read review
