'I Make The Greatest Hits'
Advantages: some great tracks, attempts at concepts, decent lyrics in places Disadvantages: doesn't match expectations, lack of his previous hits he was known for
Skepta released his debut LP 'Greatest Hits' in the fall of 2007 and, despite promise, the result was short of the expectations. It's ironic since Skepta falls victim to his own lyric, and that his old music is better than his latest shit, with no autopsies or intensive snares in sight. The inclusion of Duppy proves the point.

The album is laced with dance, techno and hip hop club beats, all covered by the fresh, young and soulful Punjabi voice of Imran Khan. If you are looking for something new and unexpected, listen to it this is without doubt a must listen for fans of Punjabi music. The main producer, Eren E provides flawless instrumentals, a good audio ...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes Disadvantages: One weak track
...5 Christmas Album” is as the title indicates a Christmas-themed release from the Indiana Pop, Soul and Disco group The Jackson 5. Released in 1970, it was their fourth overall album (in spite of making their Motown debut the year before) and finds that Jermaine, Michael, Tito, Marlon and Jackie come together to bring a record that has them both covering classics and bringing new, original songs too. 1.“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” The ... ...have a soothing tune from the act as they bring forward something that al are bound to find familiar and one that enables them to bring forward the Soul end of their music to show just how they are able to transform a tune that all know by giving it a spin that suits the direction of their music and what they had brought with the two other album from 1970. **Four Stars** 2.“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” As things move on we are brought to a track ...
