Amazon.com Compilations assembled to showcase record label rosters have become increasingly the norm. On Violator: The Album, the featured artists--including LL Cool J, Noreaga, the Beatnuts, and Busta Rhymes, are on different labels but have one thing in common--Chris Lighty's Violator Management company. "Vivrant Thing," Q-Tip's bouncy ode to women and the Flipmode Squad's playful "Whatcha Come Around Here For" foreshadow the album's up-tempo romp. Unfortunately, the majority of the remaining tracks are not the established artists' best work, but the compilation aptly exposes several up-and-comers. Nevertheless, names such as Mobb Deep, Fat Joe, and Big Pun--all of whom appear here--make Violator a management company with an extremely street savvy clientele. --Celine Wong Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsViolating good hip-hop E.J. Rupert | Milwaukee, WI | 03/19/2004 (2 out of 5 stars) "Various Artists - Violator: The Album (Violator, 1999)First off, half of these people aren't even on the Violator roster, like Eightball, Mysonne (who both appear on here more than once), and the Hot Boys. A&R's must have really wanted to promote Mysonne but where is he now? (Same question for Eightball.) Also, only Lil' Wayne and B.G. appear as the Hot Boys and they only do the chorus on "Who Can I Trust" (with Cormega). A&R's were just using the "it" people of 1999 to promote their album. Also, I remember seeing the poster for this album and Missy was on there. Where is she on the album? The other songs aren't that great either: "Busta's "Bus-a-Bus Remix", Noreaga's "I Wanna F*** You", and surprisingly Mobb Deep's "Nobody Likes Me". Check the chorus by Prodigy: "Nobody likes me/Everybody hates me/So I gotta grab my gun." This was the start of Mobb Deep's downfall. Saving graces are Noyd's "S**t That He Said", Q-Tip's "Vivrant Thing", Mase, Mysonne and Eightball's "Do What Playas Do", and Beatnuts' "Beatnuts Forever". -EJR" Okay E.J. Rupert | 05/02/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "interesting not amazing. many, many weak tracks" This CD is NOT as phat as it should have been. E.J. Rupert | 08/28/1999 (1 out of 5 stars) "Aside from Q-tip, this album falls way short of my expectations. Save your money and wait for Q-tips full solo album. There is not another track on here worth listening too."
