phenomenal.......2006-09-21

I have owned this album sinced shortly after it came out, and I still LOVE IT!!!
Old school rap and heavy metal are two of my top musical genres, and this is a tremendous compilation... highest reccomendation for anyone who is a fan of the original hip hop tracks that are expertly covered on this album. Also highly reccomended for anyone who is a fan of any of the bands featured on this album. From Sevendust to the Kottonmouth Kings, this CD is solid, start to finsh. Can I give it 6 stars?

3.5 Stars - It's okay, not bad. But only a few noteables.......2005-04-10

Since this album has been out a while, this review is probably an utter waste of time as either you all probably own it or will never know about it. However, my thoughts are as follows...

It starts strong. Staind does good, no whining like their newer songs, and Mister Durst is about as odd as ever (odd meaning childish but fun at the same time). Sevendust's song is alright; I've never heard the original song that they covered, but from the sounds of things its written like a fifteen-year-old did it. From there, things dwindle and fade into background noise.
Then comes Nonpoint. This song starts good, gets you interested. After a little bit you notice it keeps getting heavier and weirder and doesn't relent. You may not like it. But, mark my words, it will soon grow on you. In time, you'll be owning their first album and loving that too. Then you'll get their second album and puke but that's another review...

So, if you've just now strayed onto this page and are looking at buying this cd of yesterday, I hope I have helped your decision-making. I would overall recommend it, but only for a few standout songs. The rest is just sub-par. Then again, I am not much of a rap fan but a rap/metal with emphasis on metal fan. So, decide for your own tastes. I do not think you will be overly disappointed at all.

Tha Tribute..........2003-02-13

This album, rare for alot of tribute albums, is actually pretty dope. I downloaded the track "Staind featuring Fred Durst and DJ Lethal of Limp Bizkit - Bring The Noise(Public Enemy/Anthrax cover)" and instantly I wanted this album. That song was only a part of this amazing CD. Dynamite Hack's Eazy-E cover of "Boyz-N-The Hood" is astounding. Its not heavy and loud, but has a nice acoustic guitar throughout the whole song. I guess you could call this a parody, but its my favorite track on the album. Insane Clown Posse(although a rap group) even appears. They do a cover of Sir-Mix-A-Lot's "Posse On Broadway". I'm a huge ICP fan and I think this track is alright but a little out of place on this album. Its still classic though. KMK, also known as the Kotton Mouth Kings, do a cover of the Getto Boys' classic, "Mind Playin' Tricks On Me". This song is awesome and is a great introduction to future KMK fans. Mindless Self Indulgence do a cover of Method Man's "Bring The Pain". This song is totally awesome if you like M.S.I. Factory 81, a band who I've never heard before, does the Cypress Hill hit, "Insane in the Brain". This song is okay, I like the screams but I don't think he has a good rap voice. =)> All in all, this album is awesome. I recommend it to the extreme rap/metal fans and even heavy metal fans. This is a great compilation...

Why is the Emphasis on type of music?.......2003-01-22

I would have to claim this album to be one of the absolute best albums of all time!! I am about as all around in terms of music as you can get. I grew up on classic rock, rap, metal, classical, regea, oldies, country and even pop. This album is a great taster of some of the little known bands. The thought of taking some of the most classic rap songs and redoing them by these high potential up-and-coming groups is ingenious. This CD was my first experience with MSI, nonpoint, and factory 81. I have since fallen in love with the untapped greatness of each band. I even enjoyed the Staind song on the album and personally don't have much interest in the band. Dynamite Hack pulled off a miracle with Boyz, I didn't think that the song could ever be pulled off by anyone other than a rap group however they did it beautifully. Lets not forget the Clown's, KMKings, and even a little touch from the Jerky Boys, to round out this high quality CD.
I am very happy with the fact that this is a tribute by new rock musicians dedicated to old school rap. This album is proof that good new musicians will always find ways to press out from between the wastefulness of sellouts like Limp Bizkit and PapaRoach.
In finishing I would like to tell each and every one of you who are reading this review that you can't go wrong by buying this CD, you have gotten far enough to see my review you might as well buy it and see for yourself what a great album really sounds like. Since I bought this CD back in early 2001 I have passed it out successfully to more than a dozen friends with no complaints what so ever!! Very few CD's deserve 5 stars and in my opinion this deserves 5.5, but enough talk click buy, or at least find a friend who owns it.

Everyone Wants To Be A Hustler.......2002-07-11

This is a good CD. You don't have to like hip hop/rap to enjoy the remakes of these classic songs. Worth the purchase price? Yes, because Dope does a killer version of New Jack Hustler that will blow your mind.
