5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite RAP compilation, April 20, 2002

By

This review is from: Source Presents: Hip Hop Hits (Audio CD)

This is the best rap comp in my opinion, I had it when i was younger and I played it so much it got scratched. Now, I bought another one and I still jam to the same songs. It has a nice blend of hardcore rap with some poppy ones as well. My favorites are wutang, puffy, bone thugz, and foxy brown. THis cd is perfect for those who like all types of rap, not just certain sounds or beats.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Single Compilation of Hip Hop Ever, February 7, 2005

I can't believe I found this CD on amazon! My sister had this CD when I was a kid, and I listened to it so much that I scratched the crap out of it. I heard Wu-Tang on my friends' computer the other day, which made me think about this album so I looked for it on here. This is easily the BEST compilation of Hip Hop ever assembled, and includes many good examples of the kind of songs that rappers built off of. The artists on this album are the pioneers of modern hip hop; too bad their predecessors aren't nearly as talented...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Hip Hop Hits Compilation, June 9, 2004

This review is from: Source Presents: Hip Hop Hits (Audio CD)

Like many things, The Source's "Hip Hop Hits Volume 1" was the original and the best. The songs on this album are far better than most of the trash that is out there today. Plus, The Source is so biased anymore with the selection, and always throwing in tons of garbage by Benzino that no one has ever even heard. EPMD, LL Cool J, Wyclef and Jay-Z are just a few of the great artists included on this disc. The music on here is from the days when all of the rap artists didnt sound the same and use the same producers like most of them do now. If you want to hear some good rap from the late 1990's, then this is the compilation to get.
