5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, October 31, 2000

This CD is awesome. It has lots of my favorite songs and has a wide variety of music. There's rap, techno, pop, and rock all in one CD. It has all of the popular artists and groups including Nelly, B.G., Lil' Troy, Eiffel 65, 702, 3 Doors Down, Tonic, and Kryptonite all in one CD! Now that's what I call music!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good sampling of today's popular music, November 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Universal Smash Hits (Audio CD)

This CD is well worth your money. Nearly all the songs here are great, and it samples almost every kind of music. It starts out with 6 rap songs, then follows with an R&B song, then 4 excellent dance tracks, followed by 5 rock songs, and ends with 2 adult contemporary ballads. As the review below points out, only one song is a remix but sounds so much like the original that some buyers might not even be aware it's a remix if it wasn't labled as such on the CD. This CD could be five-star quality but I took one star off because a few of the rock tracks are a bit old. "All for You" by Sister Hazel is a great song, but it's from 1997 and it seems a bit strange to hear it on a year 2000 compilation CD. The Tonic song is good too but also rather old.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy if for the Rap Tracks, October 24, 2000

This review is from: Universal Smash Hits (Audio CD)

The first 6 songs on this latest entry into the Now and Totally Hits phenomenon are all rap songs and some of the year's best tracks: Nelly, B.G., and Juvenile are the best of the bunch. Elsewhere, Universal throws in a hodgepodge of Dance and Rock songs that are repeats from their Now series (Eifel 65, Sonique, Oleander and Tonic). Good singles on the order of "Kryptonite", "All For You", and "Back At One" might tempt you into this purchase. As will the rap tracks. There's nothing wrong with this album. If you're looking for good singles from iffy albums (Junvenile, Brian McKnight) then these type of compilations are perfect. This is a better album than Columbia's recent Platinum Hits 2000, which relied too heavily on remixes. Here only the Bloodhound Gang get remixed and the differences with the original are minimal. But with the Now and Totally Hits series coming out every 3 or 4 months, make sure you're not overlapping too much with each of these types of compilations.
