4.0 out of 5 stars Almost All Of The Remixes, November 15, 2005

The sticker on the outside of the CD reads "All The Classic Remixes." They all aren't here though...where is the "Fiesta-Remix?" Did the squabble/lawsuit with Jay Z keep this classic song off of the CD? Is the omission of this song the reason we get TWO remixes for "Feelin On Yo Booty?" This is not nit-picking, ask any R. Kelly fan about his most popular remixes and surely "Fiesta-Remix" will be mentioned.

Anyway, here is the 4-11. With this CD you get most all of R. Kelly's commercially released re-mixes. The "Ignition" remix from "Chocolate Factory" is here as are other popular remixes. The remix for "I Wish" is marred with a ton of N words some censors decided to leave out, so you hear R. say "for My Ni.." you get my point, they took out all his N words and at the end of the song he asks the radio people to leave the N words in his song.

I will tell you what I have found that this CD is best for..driving around just chillin or while you are relaxing at home or doing chores. Most of it you have heard before since these are classic remixes and not updated versions of the songs. The CD includes two never before released remixes and can boast appearances from Sean Paul, Akon, Youngbloodz, and Wise and Yandel. The Amazon track list is incorrect also. There are 14 tracks on the CD.

1) R. Kelly and Public Announcement:Slow Dance

2) Sex Me (Part II)

3) Bump N Grind-Old School Mix

4) Your Body's Callin' (His and Hers Extended Mix)

5) I Can't Sleep Baby (If I)-Remix (Radio Version)

6) Down Low -Live To Regret It Mix

7) I Wish-Remix (To My Homies That We Lost)

8) Feelin' On Yo Booty-Hypnosis Mix

9) I Mean (I Don't Mean It)

10) Ignition-Remix

11) Step In The Name of Love -Remix

12) Slow Wind-Remix featuring Sean Paul and Akon

13) Burn It Up-Remix featuring Fat Joe, Wisin and Yandell (New Remix)

14)Feelin On Yo Booty-Dirty South Mix Featuring Youngbloodz

Overall, the CD seems a bit rushed or as if it was just something thrown out on the market due to the upcoming holiday season. The booklet inside of the CD doesn't provide any background or history related to the songs or the CD. It includes the album credits. No liner notes from Kellz, no hidden videos or bonus goodies. There isn't much here to make it a "must have." So if you are a casual R. Kelly fan you can just add this one to your wish list. But hey, it's a good CD, so if you feel the urge to get your R. Kelly remix on pick it up today.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Is.........The REMIX!, March 8, 2006

Most R Kelly fans have everything this man has put out anyways. But for those who were late jumping on the bandwagon, Remix City Volume One serves up the hottest (and a few not so hot) remixes that span R Kelly's entire career. Remixes for classics songs like "Bump and Grind," "Slow Dance," "Your Body's Callin'," "Sex Me," "I Can't Sleep Baby," and "Down Low" already make this disc worth the money. Additional jams like the remixes for "I Wish (To The Homies That We Lost)," "I Mean (I Don't Mean It)" "Step In The Name Of Love,"and "Ignition" further exemplify the worth of this disc. Some songs like the two "Feelin' On Your Booty" remixes as well as "Slow Wind" and "Burn It Up" could have been left off and replaced with other remixess. I guess we'll have to wait for the obviously-needed Volume Two for any other jems.
