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.

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...

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.

This ALBUM Is GREAT it hs classic songs and a great song from The NOTORIOUS BIG, it has most of the hip hop hits of 1997

This cd is da bomb except 4 a couple of songs! The best songs here are Triumph, Bout It Bout It, Firm Biz, and Hay! Every single hip hop fan needs this album plus Hip Hop Hits Volumes 2 and 3!

This was a good compilation, but they should've put bigger hits on it. "Triumph", "Da Joint", "Mary Jane", "Bout It Bout It", and "Hell On Earth" were all minor hits at best. There were some major hits from 1997 that weren't included on this compliation, like:

Puff Daddy - I'll Be Missing You
Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Were My Eyes Can See
Heavy D - Big Daddy
MC Lyte - Cold Rock A Party
Timbaland & Magoo - Up Jumps Da Boogie
Biggie ft. Puff Daddy and Mase - Mo Money Mo Problems

But regardless of that, there is a lot of quality music on this CD

This CD is hittin beats, keep it rollin, because if you like hip hop this is your CD. Ice Cube in Bow Down and #7 is kickin. Buy this CD today.

I have listened to this CD over and over. I love this type of CD with a ton of different groups/singers and this is one of the best that I have found! Every single song is awesome and gets you pumped! It gets you started with Biggie, which Hypnotize, I don't know about you, gets me really pumped!!! Go out and buy it if you haven't already!!!

If you are down with East Coast rap then get this CD! 18 phat tracks by 18 artisits, you can listen to this $#!+ 3 times in a row and still want more!

i love rap and it is a cd filled with rap. there are great songs and there are some old school songs too. i love it
