Customer Reviews:

What a mess!.......2007-01-04

How do you tell the beginning and end of a song? What's the message? What are the lyrics? Who knows where the melody and harmony is, and what's left is drowned out by the rhythm. What's worse, many of the artists sound alike. Guys, shouting "Puerto Rico!" over and over isn't music.

I'll stick to Black Eyed Peas or Alicia Keys, thanks.

Before Flex Went Corporate {4 Stars}.......2006-07-25

The reviewer below me doesn't seem to know as much about hip hop as he'd like to think. First of all, comparing Flex to JMJ is like comparing Kool Moe Dee to KRS One -- while they both might be good, there's really no contest. They came up in different ages anyway. Also, this album was released on Loud/RCA, not Def Jam

Anyway, back to the album. In actuality, it's 70 minutes of funk, but who's counting, right? It's a mixtape, so I guess what determines how good the album is are the songs chosen, the cuts and scratches, and the freestyles. All of which are tight on this joint. On top of that, you have interesting collaborations like Sadat X and Akinyele on "Loud Hangover" and the Fat Joe/Big Pun freestyles and Mobb Deep instrumentals.

My only beef with the album is the drop off toward the end. The Kaotic Styles freestyle is boring. Things just aren't as exciting or creative as the beginning or middle of the album, but that kind of thing is kept to a minimum. Outside of that, things move along nice and steady.

If you want a taste of Funkmaster Flex before he went corporate and started dropping the blinged out mixtapes, then check this joint. He's nice behind the wheels and this album is the perfect showcase for his skills. He'd go on to drop a few more in the series, but he'd never top this CD. I recommend grabbing this one while you still can.

Standout Tracks: Keith Murray & Redman Freestyle, Loud Hangover (My Favorite), Fugees Freestyle, Speech (KRS One Freestyle), Everyday & Everynight, and Give Up The Goods (Just Step)

tha mixtape.......2003-09-11

cant beat this mayne. he IS the best dj in my opinion. i mean u didnt see worlds MOST overlyrated jmjdo this stuff. this is where the moneyz at. the freestyles over different beats R AWESOME y dont other wannabe dj's try it. go get this great def jam product ~1~

Much better than The Tunnel, this mixtape has good beats.......2001-03-09

Funkmaster Flex's first mix tape is much better than his later ones. The beats are great. Method Man, Redman, Fugees, Mobb Deep, you name it some of the biggest hip hop groups are featured on here. The beats on this album are excellent. This is definetly a must have for any fan of Flex or rap.

go flex!.......2000-04-13

The highlight of this cd is worth buying the whole thing for, and that is the acapella Shook Ones blended with "WuTangClan aint Nothin to F**k With" The rest is pretty good. Like the funk flex show with cussing allowed. The freestyles by busta rhymes, +Fat Joe and Big Pun ("you make me sick to my stomach, you dont really want it, riffin like you sniffin coke to scare me but you barely blunted") are also great. (give me a helpful review, dammit!)
