Remixes - Phil Ranelin

Advantages: Brill singer, outstanding music...
Disadvantages: none..........

...songs: "Inside Out", "I Don’t Wanna Know" and "Doesn’t Anybody Stay Together Anymore". That last one is starting to hit home now though, with its strong and relevant message. If you care to avoid these particular tunes, you can check out the CD of remixes entitled "12"ers that includes six of the best songs from this album. All of the best except my favorite, "Long Long Way to Go", which should be re-released on a new soundtrack or something! With the back-up of fellow countryman Sting, this emotional tune has depth and is one of Phil’s best kept secrets. It is certainly better than the overrated single "One More Night". I was mad that one got as much attention as it did, while "Long Long Way to Go" had to suffer in silence. The previously unreleased track that is included on the CD version of "No Jacket" is "We Said Hello Goodbye... Read review

Love don’t cost a thing (RJ Schoolyard Mix) 2. Ain’t it funny (Remix feat. Ja Rule) 3. I’m gonna be alright (Trackmasters remix feat 50 Cent) 4. I’... Read review

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. When the boys from Long Island hit the scene there was the rap that played on the radio and the rap we listened to when our parents were out of ear shot. De La dropped 3 Feet High... Read review
