incredible workout music

Turn down that CHEESY music on your exercise DVD and make your OWN mix. Even if the beats per minute are off after a while you can STILL GET INTO IT (in your own home you can do it your way you know)! February 23, 2008

Eh

I was interested in this product, when it arrived, for about ... 2 seconds. After that, I rarely listened to half the tracks. 4 My People is a great song, but the remix, while many love it, is awful. I like the original, and the remix just doesn't flow with the rest of the hits. I am also very disappointed that One-Minute Man does NOT include Trina, as the video does. She adds so much more to the song, while this version gets annoying after Ludacris' rap ends. I would recommend the original albums over this compilation, or buying individual tracks on iTunes.

Respect M.E.

Really like this album, it is a good choice of her songs and it is great up beat listening, a really good buy! May 7, 2007

I can't get enough of this release! 5+ stars. Worth every cent.

Whether you've been a Missy Elliott since back in the day and have most of her releases or maybe became a casual fan when she released "So Addicted," this CD is a must buy as it has a generous helping of Missy best (17 songs clocking in at 70 minutes) at and a few killer remixes to boot. Currently only available as an import, but the price is not cost prohibitive.

While I have most of Missy's releases, some of them are hit or miss when taking into account every single song, so the beauty here is that you have a collection of her best songs in one CD. There is not a dud in sight.

I had given Missy a rest for a while and for whatever reason this release has made me an even bigger fan if that is possible as it has feel of a party mix but you'll find yourself surprised, at least I did, that they are all Missy and not different artists. While she of course has guest stars in most of her recordings, they are not on just for sales purposes as they bring strong value added to their respective songs.

In a nutshell, if you are not a fan, nothing here will change that. If you are a casual fan it's a must. If you have all her releases and are really short on money, you can make your own mix. While it won't have the remixes, you'll still have a massive collection of songs that will make you want to sing, dance, rule the world. This release easily earns its 5 stars from this fan! While totally irrelevant to my rating, I love the cover of this CD. Missy looks darn GOOD!
