Worth having in your collection for The Humpty Dance and Doowutchyalike alone, which never fail to please audiences from 4 to 64 when played in the car or at parties. Not all the songs are up to that level, though. Sex Packets is probably the one to get; the short version of Doowutchyalike here really bugs me.

This collection of DU's greatest hits is complete with "We Got More" from their more recent release Future Rhythm. If you're looking for DU's greatest hits, go with this one. The remastered collection contains many remixes, not original cuts.

That said, there are some "blemishes" on this disc. The version of "Doowutchyalike" on this album is shortened (it ends at the radio fade). And "Same Song," "Underwater Rimes," and "Wussup Wit the Luv" are non-original cuts (see the track listing for details). However, if you're going for a greatest hits, these songs probably aren't what you're worried about.

Enjoy and doowutchyalike.

I'm not even a big rap fan, but I've always liked the well known hits like Humpty Dance. I just happened upon this cd while Xmas shopping. It's AWESOME. Every track is really good. These guys write great lyrics.

This is the best of the Underground. A must have for anyone that listened to these guys.

always been a Big Digital Underground Fan&Shock G the Man also known as Humpty Hump doesn't get His Due for His Production&Sound.In fact to Me His Brand of Parliament Funkadelic Sampling&Looping&Bumping was just as tight as Dr.Dre's SOund&Take on the P-Funk Sound but guess who got all the Music Glory? still I want to give it up for SHock G&Crew.they always had cool Jams&this Set showcases some of there Best moments.

It just makes me want to get Sex Packets and then continue working my way through their catalog. If I do that, I won't need this "best of" anymore. I guess that's how it is with "best of" compilations. Digital Underground is one of the great old school hip hop groups of the 90s.

When choosing between this collection and their "Sex Packets" album, I went with this. I like "Sex Packets" alot, but half of that album is here, and half of this collection is that album. I also think the best of that really made it here too, not to mention the other seven tracks we get. I admit, a big plus with "Playwutchyalike" was getting "Kiss You Back". That track is awesome, and the rest here holds up as well. My only beef, like others have mentioned, is the edit of "Doowutchyalike". It fades out at around 4 minutes, when the full version is over twice that. That song had a great video too. Overall though, a good collection from one of the party/dance groups of rap.

I never realized until now how great this 80's group is. Other than the awesome artwork on the cover, personally, the best songs on this cd are "Kiss you back" and "The Humpty Dance". I listen to it all the time! Great cd.

This CD is a compilation of the best that is DU. It takes you back to the time and place where you first listened this this funky, fun music.

I bought this cd on sale, so that way I wouldnt feel cheated if it wasnt that good. anyway, everyone knows "freaks of the industry," and "the humpty dance," but the rest of the cd is very solid. this is just a fun group to listen to, and if you dont own "sex packets," then i reccomend buying this cd.
