"Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls / Stick 'em in your mouth and suck 'em." If that line offends you, not only should you stop from reading any further, you should definitely avoid South Park at all costs. Rabid fans of the deliciously disgusting animated series, however, will rejoice at how perfect this disc is; rather than hand you a whack of semi-whimsical material, the South Park boys chose to give the people what they want, and what they want is plenty of songs by the cast of South Park, not just about them. So alongside SP-related performances by Master P ("Kenny's Dead," on which he raps, "My little homey Kenny died tonight"), Perry Farrell ("Hot Lava"), Elton John ("Wake Up Wendy"), and the bizarrely paired Ozzy Osbourne and Ol' Dirty Bastard ("Nowhere to Run"), you'll find the best of the best: songs sung by the original cast. Most appropriately, there is plenty of Chef (a.k.a. Isaac Hayes) action, including "Simultaneous" ("I'm talking 'bout you and me and Winona Ryder / Simultaneous"), his love song for Kathie Lee Gifford ("No Substitute"), and the aforementioned "Chocolate Salty Balls." Chef Aid's undisputed champion track, however, is the tender, passionate, and incredibly touching Styx cover, "Come Sail Away"--performed with more emotion than Neil Diamond could ever muster--by South Park's head cranky son of a crack whore, Cartman. Fans of the show will also be happy to know that this is not the sung-at-top-speed version, like in the episode, but instead a fully drawn out, tortured-artist cut. So often, the funniest ideas on TV translate to the lamest recordings alive; happily, this is not the case with this collection. --Denise Sheppard

Entertainment Weekly
The sensibility of producer Rick Rubin ... runs wild throughout.... What constantly redeems the album is the dark humor and musical chops of creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

5.0 out of 5 stars i'm......SAILING away......, December 12, 1999

By A Customer

this is a very good cd for fans of south park. however, if you REALLY want to hear the music, get the extreme version, because this is still edited.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this cd!, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

If you are a big fan of rap and like seeing Kenny die every episode then liston to Kenny's dead by Master P. Hearing the kids in Bubble goose made me crack up. The funniest parts on the cd is hearing Sid Greenfield and Matt Stone arguing cduring the song Horny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let CHEF soothe your soul., July 20, 1999

By A Customer

Let us admit one thing, that South Park rocks! If your a huge S Park fan, you probably already own this but if youre just now getting into it, like me, you will probably want to check this out. Highlights of Chef Aid are the classic Primus theme, the Chef songs, Cartman's song, and everything else involving the South Park kids. Everything else is cool, except for Puff Daddy and Master P's appearance. I think they could have gotten better rap artists but nothings perfect right? Anyway, hear it for yourself or just go buy it. If your a South Park freak, you'll find a way to like it.
