Hip Hug Her - Booker T & The MG's

Advantages: Well compiled collection
Disadvantages: Not all best tracks included

...of the hits but also some more obscure recordings will give you a real flavour of what the Stax record label was about. Whether you like the straight guitar blues of Albert King, the high tempo ‘behind-the-beat’ brass backed soul of Sam and Dave and Otis Redding or the dance floor fillers of Eddie Floyd and Rufus Thomas there will be something to like. For anyone with a love of Soul, R&B and pre-nascent Funk this is a must and will get feet tapping and hip swaying by anyone with a musical ear. FULL TRACK LISTING AND DETAILS Disc: 1 1. Gee Whiz!

...heart' 'make love, but don't fall in love' the sort of relationship that most guys seem to be after before they find the perfect person to settle down with. Dirrty ft. Redman. Sexy, funky and full of attitude! This is a dance-floor filler! Deep bass background, you just let yourself go! *grins* dance sexy with your mates, grind up against your bloke/girl or nearest mate! The beats are just great to swing your hips to! She's that ultra sexy girl that's known as a slut by most as that consoles them because they aren't as desired as her! Thrusting, punky, in-your-face this is the song that I started to get to know Christina from and the sluttish image came from. Girls, grab your boys, gonna make some noise!'

Advantages: Comprehensive, diverse, good songs
Disadvantages: Why was Nelly's "Hot in Herre" on this!?

...As a bboy, I pride myself on being a dignitary as well as a student of Hip Hop culture. This 3 CD set is comprised of some of the most influential artists and songs in the history of hip hop. Not all of the songs were Top 40 songs during their time (thus not many people in mainstream culture have heard them), but they were still VERY influential in the underground hip hop movement.

Hip Hop now has become too over-produced and has lost sight of its roots. No longer "dropping knowledge" to educate... Read review
