Great Compilation

Scott D. Gribble | Baltimore MD | 04/13/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great funk/soul cd. One thing I can promise you is that you don't recognize half the stuff on here by the titles or artist names. However you might recognize these tunes after listening. Many of these songs have been used in samples for classic hip-hop songs, others have not.
I had never herd of any of these songs before purchasing and i highly reccomend it. It's great that these songs have been unearthed by Darge and Pete Rock for us. Of the two halfs i actually perfer Pete Rock's picks. If you're a fan of Funk and good classic music, but you're looking for stuff that's new to you, this is definatly the place to look."

Best of the bbe series (of what I have heard)...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"an excellent variety of soul and funk tunes, keb darge can be somewhat monolithic on his own and is much assisted in bringing it on this one by pete rock.
personal favorites: "let me down easy" a haunting tune, ms. lavette's vocals will bring tears to your eyes..."hey joyce" a rousing proclamation of emotional ownership...if "dont give a damn" doesnt give you at least a slight twitch in your stride, youre a walking corpse...many others...
...more than worth the relatively paltry amount requested."
