5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!, October 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Unwrapped 1 (Audio CD)

I first heard this album this morning when a local dj reviewed it. I immediately went out to purchase it. In fact, I waited almost an hour (along with about 20 other people) in a record store for a sales rep to return with more copies.

This is a great fusion of jazz and hip hop. My favorites on the CD are "Crush on You" and "Forgot About Dre". Karen Briggs plays a mean violin.

I can't wait for Volume II to come out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Beach Recordings Presents: Unwrapped Vol. 1, January 16, 2004

This is one of the best gifts that I received in a LONG time!! I was really wary of what it had to offer because I was judging this 'book' by its cover. After I listened to it I was pleasantly surprised at its selections. I love how they have taken rap music and created a sound that is harmonious to all!! I am a middle school teacher and I play it during class and the students actually like it! On days when they know that they are going to do seatwork, they will almost beg me to play it while they work. This is a good tool for good behavior and it was a good buy.

I first heard of this CD from a local radio DJ whom sweared this was HOT so I went out and got it. I was kind of dissapointed at first and then the CD grew on me. What I like most about this CD is it's different. They took Hip-hop songs, re-made them into smooth jazz and did a pretty good job of making some of the songs sound good. I like smooth jazz but some of these songs didn't need to be re-made in this format.

My favorite songs on this album is the Lil Kim remake of "Crush On You" and LL Cool J's "Lougin'".

It was truly a great effort and I would love to see what they come up with next.
