1.0 out of 5 stars Like JD, this s**t's too short, July 3, 2002

This is one of the shortest cd's i own, come on JD, u can do better than this!

Some of the seven tracks, however, are acceptable. Such as the WELCOME TO ATLANTA remix w/ P. Diddy, Murphy Lee, and Snoop Dogg.

Another possible good one is the WHERE THE PARTY AT? remix off the HARDBALL soundtrack, it's pretty tight, but there's to much Jagged Edge on this record.

Here's my good advice for JD:
GO BACK IN THE STUDIO 4 ANOTHER CUPLE A YEARS TIL U HAVE MORE THAN 7 ... REMIXES, MAN!

1.0 out of 5 stars A HUGE mistake, July 9, 2002

This review is from: So So Def: Definition of a Remix (Audio CD)

Jermaine Dupri is no stranger to the hip hop scence. At a young age (18 years old to be exact), he produced his first platinum album (Kriss Kross). With the success of his first group, JD opened up So So Def Records, a record lable where JD could exclusively record music, produce and sign brand new artists. Da Brat was his second project, and her debut album was the first album by a solo female rapper to be certified platinum. Since then JD went on to release a successful solo album, and sign and release two of hip hop's most elite performers: RnB group Jagged Edge & pint sized rapper Lil Bow Wow. Now JD releases -=So So Def: Definiton of a Remix=- (in response to Diddy's -=Bad Boy Family: We Invented the Remix=-). Dupri's last two projects, his own solo album (which spawned one top 20 single and flopped miserably) and Lil' Bow Wow's -=Doggy Bag=- (a major commercial disappointment, selling only 1/3 of the amount his debut racked up) where both considered to be flaws in his lable's indistructable history. Will this album save him?

The answer to that question is no. Dupri and his lable continue to slide further down into a ditch its gonna be hard to work their way out of. This album consists of OLD remixes, and only has 2 new songs. On top of that its only 7 tracks long!! Jagged Edge's "Lets Get Married" (remix), "Where the Party At" (remix) & "Promise" (remix) are all old news, because they appeared on urban radio shortly after their originals in 2001. Dru Hill's "In My Bed" (remix) appeared in 1997 after their success following their take off debut album in 1996. Lil Bow Wow also turns up on an old remix of "Puppy Love" with new-comer Tigah, a song that appeared on his FIRST ALBUM, not even his second which was released more then a year ago.

One of the two new songs on the album is, "Lets Talk About it" which features Dupri, rap group The Clipse & new-comer R.O.C. The track, which isn't even a remix by the way, isn't all that good and not slick enough to be noticed by other songs which are currently dominating urban radio stations. The only other "new" track, is "Welcome to Atlanta" (Coast 2 Coast Remix) which has been playing on radio for the past 4 months. It was just another remix on mixtapes until Dupri decided to use it as the first single to his remix album. The song had already been on the radio for nearly 2 1/2 months but he shot a video for the song and decided to call it a new track.

This album was thrown together to keep up with Diddy's album which was released a little over a month ago. However Diddy made a collection of double the tracks that Dupri did, dropped new singles with catchy radio-friendly songs and did lots of promotion. Though the album wasn't all that good, it still sold over 1.2 million copies in less then a month and debuted at #1 on Billboard's charts. Dupri took old radio favorites, threw them all together, did little to no promotion and released the album on AN OLD SINGLE. You do the math.
