Remixed - Deborah Cox

Advantages: Great vocal ability, lyrics
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker links

...piano intro is joined by soulful guitars and then the song is in full flow with her exceptional vocal on the track. One of the most beautiful songs in the genre this century. 8. Givin it Up This is a catchy uptempo track with some nice smooth backing vocals. As do the rest of the uptempo tracks this also has a very flowing feel to it. 9. Up and Down (In and Out)(Allstar Remix) (Featuring Jadakiss) This is a remix of the first track and has enough about it to seperate it from the original version, she sounds a little like Whitney Houston in this track too. 10.

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

...***Warning*** This review does contain some edited adult language and themes. The words have been changed but the meaning is plain. In the stacks of wax you can find the De La Mix: Remixes, Rarities & Classics, De La Soul's 2004 release on Tommy Boy/ Rhino. This is not so much a greatest hits as it is a revisiting in an alternate universe. Both commercial and critical successes are treated to a fresh dusting off, live performance or remix on this disk. Laying down the Knowledge For those of you that don't already know, De La Soul has been around since rap was just rap. Hip hop was just starting to take root as a music genre. There was just rap.
