Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Capitalizing on the recent commercial success of rap/rock crossovers, Loud Records volunteers their back catalog for the rock treatment on this surprisingly diverse new compilation. Ever wondered what the Wu-Tang Clan, Tha Alkaholiks, Mobb Deep, and Big Pun would sound like jamming with Sugar Ray, Sevendust, Incubus, and Ozzy Osbourne? Probably not, but the guitar-heavy pairings work surprisingly well. Vocally, tracks are split. Certified MCs show up on roughly half the tracks to retrofit their rhymes to the rock-out sound; on the rest, rock's wailers and grunters transform into microphone fiends. Everlast gives "Shook Ones Part II" a gorgeous, stripped-down acoustic feel, and System of a Down turns the Wu classic "Shame" into a mosh-pit screamer. Xzibit's gruff flow finds a perfect match alongside the distorted thrash of Endo and Sevendust. Though the bad moments are cringe-worthy, there's enough crossover appeal to win over rockers, hip-hop heads, and the morbidly curious alike. --Hua Hsu

5.0 out of 5 stars JUST GET IT ALLREADY AND HAVE YOURSELF AN EARGASM!!, September 5, 2000

By	Dahruma (texas) - See all my reviews

this is just phat and i think there need to be more compilations like this,the whole cd is excellent and gives just a small taste of what im sure will be seen alot more in the future.theres so many takes that can be done on it and it would help up and coming artists as well as established ones.this is only the second rock/rap collaberation i can think of with the exception the judgement night soundtrack which is smooth as well.the one thing that bothered me about this was that the crazy town song is allready on their cd with the exception of about 40 seconds at the end,oh-well.and its pretty crazy hearing serj singing wu tang's shame on a nigga,i also thought ol tom morello should've done a little more varied guitar work,the shootyz groove song is one of the best ive ever heard from them and incubus's cover of pig pun is extra tight.the best tracks to me are shame,make room,hip hop,what u see,carribean connection,and still not a player-later

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, September 10, 2000

By	Dr. Aaron B. Hinkledorf (Salt Lake City, Utah) - See all my reviews

This has to be the best cd i have purchased all year. The way that the artists mix hip-hop and rock is great. I never thought that I would hear a song with Ozzy Ozzborn and the Wu-Tang clan. My personal favorite is Wu-tang and System of A Down on the opening track called "Shame" . If you like hip-hop or rock this CD is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mash Up's Predecessor, September 16, 2005

By	S-E-Y-E-S "PurpleSurfeit" (Spring Hill, FL) - See all my reviews

First off if you want to know about artist you're not sure of, before you by their CD's get this one... I'm an afficionado of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal (esp. Nu Metal & Rap/Metal). A must hear for any S.O.A.D. fan is "Shame" (w/Wu-Tang Clan), Static-X it's all about the "Hip Hop" (w/DP), Sevendust "What U See is What U Get" (w/Xzibit) and Crazy Town taking their "Only When I'm Drunk" to another level (w/tha Alkaholiks). Though these bands were insightful for me to buy this, I was quite amazed with Endo's "Los Angeles Times" (w/Xzibit). No true Rap/Metal fan would want 2 be without TAKE A BITE OUTTA RHYME \ TOO LEGIT FOR THE PIT \ JUDGMENT NIGHT -SDTK \ nor LOUD ROCKS!!!
