4.0 out of 5 stars Can I get a...few more hits?, November 23, 2010

This review is from: The Hits Collection, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

As a casual fan, I've been waiting on a Jay Z collection for years. I got three of his past discs, and this should cover the few hits I was missing. 14 tracks on a CD is a little short, but hey. Glad to see Big Pimpin' and 03 Bonnie and Clyde here, and Hard Knock Life will perk my kids ears up. Must admit I wish Can I Get A...was on here, or Money, Cash, Hoes. Those and Blueprint 2 would have made this perfect for me. Chronological order would have been a plus too, as ending with Empire State Of Mind would have been sweet. Where's Young Forever? Still a solid collection, but I would have called it "From Jay to Z".

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a HITS album, not a best of...., November 28, 2010

This review is from: The Hits Collection Volume One [Explicit] (MP3 Download)

As a long time Jay fan, i can definitely get down with a lot of these tracks. However, these tracks are simply the chart toppers, they come from individual albums (with exception of Reasonable Doubt, which is a "Reasonable" omission since its a Greatest Hits album in its own right.

If you have been waiting for a Jay-Z Hits collection to play at a party or in a club, this is it, but for the afficiando, these are the tracks that lack some substance, and as he said in his Black Album, this was to get his money right, not to improve his repetoir.


I enjoyed it, its worth the download, but i would really love to see a "best of" collection and see what they come up with.


Hope this review helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jay-Z's Hits Indeed, November 22, 2010

This review is from: The Hits Collection Volume 1 (Deluxe Edition) (Audio CD)

Jay-Z has released a greatest hits CD and needless to say I have to give it a 10. We could always argue over the songs but I feel he got it as close to right as possible, the man has made a lot of hit songs. The Deluxe Edition with Disc 2: The Rarities is a nice touch, nothing awesome, just as titled some rarities, so if owning all the Jay-Z is important to you, pick this up.
