5.0 out of 5 stars Source of many a rap rip-off or sample, July 9, 2000

By	Erik Vitols (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

This CD is definitely one of the best party and driving CDs in my collection. It's kinda like going back in time and finding a long-lost soul station somewhere down south. Every track here is a classic - it's fun to play this CD for someone who just heard a great 'original' rap song and play the funk song it was swiped from! The music here shows lack of originality in some of today's R&B; it also shows the creativity of many of the 70's and 80's funksters, even if some of them only had a couple of hits. This CD is guaranteed to liven up your next party or get together - so much better than many of the tired, safe as skim milk, moldy oldies compilations found at too many baby boomer parties today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring on the funk, December 19, 2002

Every song on this CD had me singing along with the songs that I remember from so long ago. This is one of the best various artist CDs on the market. Every last one of these songs is vintage funk. There is no filler on this CD, its all great music that will have toes tapping, feet stomping and butts shaking.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have disc for anyone who's having a party soon, August 27, 1998

By A Customer

Rhino records has justifiably made its name with compilation CDs. "Millenium Funk Party" rates about the highest groove-per-dollar you could ask for. With scorchers like the Ohio Players' "Love Rollercoaster" and the apocalyptically danceable "Atomic Dog" from Parliament/Funkadelic frontman George Clinton, even the most staid wallflowers will find themselves grinding their hips to a quality of funk which, sadly, is lost on the screechy R & B dance disasters of the present day. Rhino's liner notes, while excellent, suffer slightly by Rhino's own high standards with a somewhat affected style. But this is a very minor criticism for a very important CD.
