Advantages: Plenty of Mariah Hits
Disadvantages: Needs to be updated

I bought this album for my sister as a christmas present and i love the way she keeps playing it because i absolutely love the CD myself. Every single song is key to Mariah's career. She hits the high notes perfectly and she does well to blend Pop and R'n'B. There's many uptempo numbers on the CD like Heartbreaker and Emotions but she excels on ballads such as My All. The only downside of this album is that it needs to be updated with her new stuff ... Read review

Advantages: Most of the hits
Disadvantages: Some big tracks missing

...taken from one of the greatest old-school Hip Hop tracks in history (in my opinion) , "Friends" by Whodini. The Trackmasters as well as Rashad Smith were able to make a big mix from Larry Smith's mid-eighties beat to make it sound much more modern and relevant to Hip Hop about ten years later on. **Five Stars** ---8.

...talent in one of the greatest diss tracks ever, but I can see how he wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Jay-Z now as the beef has been squashed and they have both featured on each other's albums. Ignoring this, "Just A Moment" was a very good song, I can see how it's not nearly as great as others, but it was still a big tune. Finally I have to say that "Nastradamus" really needed to be on here because it's a missing stage of his career in ... Read review

Advantages: Widespread appeal. Kick-ass hip-hop songs.
Disadvantages: Won't be making any more.

...read a review of their Greatest Hits album in a Sunday paper. The critic spoke very highly of them, but since I knew very little about the band (and hip-hop wasn't really my scene) I decided to do a little bit of background research before deciding whether to buy. Here's a little of what I found out. RUN DMC FACTS Band Members: Run (Joseph Simmons) DMC (Darryl McDaniels) Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell) Unlike the stereotypical rapper, these three ...
...albums in total (not including greatest hits compilations). They were the first rap act to have a platinum selling album, get on MTV (a rarity for black artists in any field at the time), appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and were the only ones asked to perform at Live Aid. They have appeared in two films, Krush Groove (1985) and Tougher Than Leather (1988). They are considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop group ever, and certainly ... Read review

Advantages: Some big hits
Disadvantages: Some lesser songs which may not appeal to some people

...This album is a new Greatest Hits collection as you can tell from the not very imaginative title. It's about 9 or 10 years since the last "Best of" was released. Alex has been better received in the UK than anywhere else and more or less lives here now. The album cover shows a rather suave looking Alex. Here's a track listing. 1. Never Knew Love Like This 2. Innocent/Alex 9000/Innocent II 3. Fake 4. All True Man 5. Criticise 6. Saturday Love ...
...9. (What Can I Say) To Make You Love Me 10. The Lovers 11. What's Missing 12. A Broken Heart Can Mend 13. What Is This Thing Called Love? 14. You Were Meant To Be My Lady (Not My Girl) 15. Love Makes No Sense I won't give a track-by-track long description but I will discuss my favourite songs. The opening track sets the tone for the whole album. This is a smooth, sexy soul collection and the songs are either slow soul or funky soul. The first ... Read review
