Editorial Reviews

A 12-track summation of the group's two albums, Greatest Hits boils down the Fu-Schnickens' output to the absolute cream of the cream. Except maybe for Das EFX, there are very, very few rappers who sound quite like the Fu-Schnickens; some might match the wild, referential lyrics, some the blazing speed of their delivery, but not both. All three MCs are terrific in their own right, and developed a near-telepathic interplay. But Chip Fu is clearly the genius of the group, shifting voices, tossing in weird noises, and enunciating barrages of words that are nearly impossible to keep up with.The production, meanwhile, is quietly inventive in its own way, leaving room for the lyrics but adding just enough to the off-kilter atmosphere. Aficionados will likely want everything the group recorded, but if you just want the general idea, Greatest Hits will demonstrate that there's way too much talent on display for this music to be a mere comic novelty. -All Music Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Greatest Greatest Hits Albums!, October 20, 2003

Featuring the best of their only two previous albums (1992's "F.U. Don't Take It Personal" and 1994's "Nervous Breakdown"), Fu-Schnickens Greatest Hits not only hits the mark with its choice of selected "hits," but also earns very high marks for its inclusion of the four previously unreleased tracks, "Cray-Z" (jokester Chip-Fu at his exasperating finest), "Original Rude Boy," "Voice of Da Ghetto," and "Bring It Back" (a perfect closer for the album). This album is for any and every music fan, providing bonafide favorites--"La Schmoove," "True Fu-Schnick," "Heavenly Father," "What's Up Doc," and "Sum Dum Monkey" (along with phat new joints) for owners of the previous albums, while also giving curious new Fu-Schnick fans an excellent introductory to the infectious musical hijinks of kung-fu flick lovin' Moc-Fu, Poc-Fu, and Chip-Fu - the Fu-Schnickens. This CD accomplishes what few other greatest hits CDs have ever achieved - 1) Thoroughly satisfying both old and new fans, and 2) Ending on a high note (the group's last album), thereby leaving listeners wanting more. Again, one of the GREATEST greatest hits albums!

It was hard to find in the stores but easy to find here. This CD takes me back and gives me that good feeling about hip hop. A good buy!
