it could have been better but i loved the fact that they used band of gypsies

well after listening to this CD a bunch of times, i like it better than I initially did. love the fact that they used band of gypsies on track 2 because i loved that original album with hendrix, buddy miles and band of gypsies with message of love, etc. also love kiss me and i'll kiss you back and give the man his props or whatever that song is called; i think it is track 9. the lyrics are pretty entertaining throughout the entire CD. great bass player. like it because it isn't too nasty and doesn't refer to women as bitches and ho's.

I dig it.

When choosing between this collection and their "Sex Packets" album, I went with this. I like "Sex Packets" alot, but half of that album is here, and half of this collection is that album. I also think the best of that really made it here too, not to mention the other seven tracks we get. I admit, a big plus with "Playwutchyalike" was getting "Kiss You Back". That track is awesome, and the rest here holds up as well. My only beef, like others have mentioned, is the edit of "Doowutchyalike". It fades out at around 4 minutes, when the full version is over twice that. That song had a great video too. Overall though, a good collection from one of the party/dance groups of rap.

Remember these tunes?

Worth having in your collection for The Humpty Dance and Doowutchyalike alone, which never fail to please audiences from 4 to 64 when played in the car or at parties. Not all the songs are up to that level, though. Sex Packets is probably the one to get; the short version of Doowutchyalike here really bugs me. October 12, 2005

The correct DU greatest hits album to buy

This collection of DU's greatest hits is complete with "We Got More" from their more recent release Future Rhythm. If you're looking for DU's greatest hits, go with this one. The remastered collection contains many remixes, not original cuts.

That said, there are some "blemishes" on this disc. The version of "Doowutchyalike" on this album is shortened (it ends at the radio fade). And "Same Song," "Underwater Rimes," and "Wussup Wit the Luv" are non-original cuts (see the track listing for details). However, if you're going for a greatest hits, these songs probably aren't what you're worried about.

Enjoy and doowutchyalike. September 14, 2005

Awesome album!

I never realized until now how great this 80's group is. Other than the awesome artwork on the cover, personally, the best songs on this cd are "Kiss you back" and "The Humpty Dance". I listen to it all the time! Great cd. September 14, 2005
