I'm loving this album. My favorate album I've bought this year. Instead of going out and buying like 15 cd's you can buy this one and have alot of hit songs on one album. The tracklisting here is not the same as the album I bought at Best Buy. All these songs are on here but the order is different. One of the few albums I can just throw in and listen to every track from begining to end. If you love hip hop you will love this album.

Wow there are some serious haters up in here. You got one guy who rated the album a 1 star but when he brakes down the tracks he rated like 8 songs a 10/10 and only like 3 tracks got low ratings. So you saying you love just about every track but it's a 1 star? HATER! It's a great compilation alot of songs will get you amped up. Vol 9 was a little better though. Still better then any other Hip Hop Compilation out.

Just got this and damn it's hot. What did you expect The SOURCE always puts out the best hip hop albums. This is my third SOURCE cd and it's one of their best. What I love about their albums is they give you a taste of every aspect of hip hop. The term hip hop carries so many styles and genres. And SOURCE always make sure everyone is covered. You got East coast, West, South, mainstream, underground, party joints as well as hardcore ones. My favorate songs are

Goodies

Certified Gangstas

My DJ

Breathe

Y'all Heard of Me

Lean Back

Great CD I definitly recommend it.

It's seems ever since it's 6th edition, The Source Magazine has been having a very rough time keeping up with what's hot and what's not, as well as adding tons of filler. It seems on it's 10th release, things aren't much different as far as song choices and quality.

The CD mixes and matches the same music. First, you have some big stars of the second half of 2004 and the first half of 2005. You have Trick Daddy with his luke-warm hit "Let's Go" featuring mega stars Twista and Lil' Jon, you have Pitbull as your Spanish act, you have Juvenile, Lil' Jon, and Trillville for the "shut the @#$% up!" group, you have Fabolous and Lil' Wayne for the quality songs group, then you have Geto Boys (* it should be Ghetto Boys) and Jim Jones for the unknown people, then add a few #1 hits, for that part is Ciara and Terror Squad. Afterwards, just add filler minors and some Benzino tracks and that's about it. Hmm, not much difference from the other CDs in the series. Basically, all you need is a few big songs, at least one Benzino song, and smoother it in filler.

Now, the songs aren't all bad, in fact this one is better than the 9th edition (not saying a lot). Ciara's "Goodies" will get the party started with it's answer to "Freek-A-Leek" by Petey Pablo. He's on the CD too with "Vibrate", though, a minor on his part. Trick Daddy is on here, he made a big splash (I'm talking about the song here). But otherwise, the rest is filler.

Overall, as a CD, The Source still has not figured out how to make a hip-hop complication, and the word "Billboard" is erased from their vocabulary. While this CD is filled with minors, there are some gems in here, but definitely not worth spending money for it.

Replay Value: Medium

Child Appeal: Low

Teen Appeal: High

Adult Appeal: Low

This Source compilation had by far the worst selection of songs. At least they listened to my Source 9 review (I'm formerly known as Eminem Fan; long story) and but "Lean Back" on it, but could have used "Drop It Like It's Hot" and Lloyd Banks' "On Fire".

1. Trick Daddy feat. Lil' Jon and Twista - Let's Go - Good way to start a crappy soundtrack. I loved this song and played 100 times a day before MTV released the video, and I STILL love this song!!! 10/10

2. Pitbull - Dammit Man - That's what this song got me thinking; Dammit Man, That Sucked! Maybe if it had Culo or Toma. 6/10

3. Geto Boys - Yes Yes Ya'll - This is a good song, but was never a hit. They must be re-introduced to the public eye. 9/10

4. Lil' Wayne - Go DJ - awesome song! This joint got me into Lil' Wheezy. 10/10

5. Juvenile - Nolia Clap - This joint is also hot! If only Juvy was still in Cash Money; if he did songs with the current/improved Cash Money roster now, they would be all kinds of bangers. 9/10

6. Lil' Jon feat. Lil' Scrappy - What U Gon' Do - A crazy with ya boy, Lil' Jon; great pic for this album! 8.5/10

7. Alchemist feat. Mobb Deep - Hold U Down - not really feelin this joint; they made the right decisions going with 50 and Eminem. 5/10

8. Benzino - Wide Body - OMG! Another Benzino on The Source; his only good song is the Toy Soldiers-response song "Look Into My Eyes". 2/10

9. Fabolous - Breathe - great banger and a classic; F-A-B killed it on this one. 10/10

10. Fat Joe - Lean Back - YES! Thank God "Lean Back" is on there. It just had to be on a Source CD. 10/10

11. Trillville - Neva Eva - this song is so old! When I first saw the advertisement, I thought it would have "Some Cut"

12. Jim Jones - Certified Gangstas - This version sucks! IT IS NOT the video remix version featuring The Game; it's the version on his album. 3/10; if it was the one featuring The Game, 9/10

13. Ciara feat. Petey Pablo - Goodies - response to Petey's "Freek A Leek"; I loved Ciara until I found out that she was originally a man. 7.5/10

14. Petey Pablo - Vibrate - this song was never a hit; it's probably only on here because it's after "Goodies". But still a good song. 8/10

15. C-Murder feat. BG - this was not a hit either, and it sucks. Rappers who have been to jail do not put out great albums or singles; let's hope Tony Yayo's "Thoughts of a Predicate Felon" is an exception. 2/10

16. Benzino feat. Scarface - What's Really Hood - never got to this one; after track 11, I stop playing it. 0/10

This one can use a lot of work, and much better songs, such as:

1. 50 Cent - Candy Shop

2. Lloyd Banks - On fire

3. Tony Yayo feat. 50 Cent - So Seductive

4. The Game - Dreams

5. Olivia feat. Lloyd Banks - Twist It

(G-Unit should be on a Source compilation, and now for non G-Unit songs:)

1. T.I. - Bring Em Out

2. Ludacris - No. 1 Spot

3. Mike Jones - Back Then or Still Tippin'

4. Ying Yang Twins - Wait (Whisper In Your Ears)

5. Xzibit - Hey Now (Mean Muggin)

And so many more, like the ones I mentioned earlier. A list of recent good songs (and hits) can go on forever and can be better choices than 90% percent of the album tracks

I don't hate rap, but this is ridiculous. If you see the Vol.8 of this series, there is a reviewer I like called Eggplant that talked about being a millionaire overnight off of making a hip-pop album, even if you don't have talent, which I agree 110% with. So here's a poem I wrote in its clean version. Enjoy.

Mike Jones, Paul Wall, and Lil Jon

They turned hip-hop into something gone wrong

We used to have Public Enemy and NWA

But since they left, Hip-hop turned g*y

Nelly, Chingy, and D4L,

If you like them, you should burn in h**l

Hip hop is now officially dead

So forget them and listen to AC/DC, Beatles, or Led.

Alice in Chains, Sublime, and Tool

Listen to them and you will be cool.

The genre's 15 minutes have already been up

But I'm not complaining - I don't give a f**k!!!

I know that was corny, but who cares?! If you give me a Helpful vote, then you like good music and know what you're doing. Please read the rest of my poems. Soon I'll create a user name for myself so that you can do it.

Oh, and to all of you Not Helpful votes, bring em on!!!!

I returned this...it's crap! It doesn't have Luda, Gwen Stefani, or even Em on it. Eamon's not on it either. Instead, they put stupid Fat Joe on here. Definitely don't buy this, it's terrible!
