2Pac - Greatest Hits

Sales Rank:2051
List Price: $24.98
Lowest New Price: $16.00
Lowest Used Price: $12.45
Artist(s):

2Pac

Tracks:

An indispensable and definitive collection showcasing the passionate genius of the late rapper. The album's nonchronological sequence highlights the contradictory impulses that made Tupac's music so commanding; the 21 well-loved "hits," some slightly reedited for legal reasons, are accompanied by four previously unheard songs. Of the new material, the raw-sounding "God Bless the Dead" has been the subject of the most speculation, owing to its subject matter: a eulogizing of the late Notorious B.I.G.--a mysterious feat, since Tupac was killed six months before Biggie. And, making its first proper appearance on a Tupac album, the B-side "Hit 'Em Up" stands as the most intense outburst of pure venomous rage ever captured on tape. Whether he's waxing political, philosophical, or just plain paranoid, Tupac's empathetic, charismatic style remains unmatched. --Charley Gothic

Nas is back and more controversial than ever on his new untitled Def Jam release. On this, his 9th studio album, Nas studies and lyrically dissects some of the our most divisive issues: race, inequality, poverty, and power. And who better to stir up debate than the man most consider one of the top five emcees in the history of the game? From his brilliant 1994 debut Illmatic, to his mainstream success with It Was Written, to anthems like "Hate Me Now" and "One Mic" and his venomous lyricism on "Ether," Nas' ability to tell stories, educate, make you dance--and make you look--is the stuff of rap legend. The outspoken Queensbridge rapper has sold over 15 million albums worldwide over the course of his storied career. Nas' Def Jam debut, Hip-Hop Is Dead, was released in December 2006 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with over 350,000 copies sold in its first week. Preparing now for the 2nd Def Jam release, Nas is ready to release his untitled album on July 15th.

Leave It All Behind

Four years after the release of their critically acclaimed debut "Connected," The Foreign Exchange returns with their sophomore set, "Leave It All Behind."

Consisting of singer/songwriter Phonte and producer Nicolay, The Foreign Exchange came together via the online hip-hop community Okayplayer.com in 2002. After trading files through Instant Messenger for over a year, Nicolay (living in his native Holland at the time) and Phonte (a Raleigh, NC resident) completed their debut album before they ever met each other in person. The album, "Connected," was released in 2004 to positive reviews, and was praised by legendary DJ's such as Jazzy Jeff, King Britt, and DJ Spinna for its inventive mix of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica.

"Leave It All Behind" finds The Foreign Exchange much closer in geography (Nicolay has since become a resident of Wilmington, NC), but located much further from their hip-hop origins. The duo's second full-length is a dark, multilayered affair that features Phonte showcasing his abilities as an exceptional lead and harmony vocalist, while Nicolay extends his musical palette to include sprinklings of jazz, downtempo, and house. The lush, Darien Brockington-assisted "Take Off the Blues" picks up where Connected's sleeper hit "Come Around" left off, while the complex polyrhythms and dreamy synthesizers of "Sweeter Than You" are described by Phonte as "swing jazz for the next century." Marc Mac (of legendary UK production team 4hero), also contributes a string arrangement to the duo's glorious cover of Stevie Wonder's oft-forgotten 1991 gem, "If She Breaks Your Heart."

In addition to appearances from longtime FE affiliates Darien Brockington and Yahzarah, the album also features guest shots from producer/keyboardist Zo! and vocalist Muhsinah.

A Very Special Christmas - Vol. 5

Sales Rank:1756
List Price: $9.98
Lowest New Price: $5.43
Lowest Used Price: $5.00
Artist(s):

Tracks:

This Christmas (Hang All the Mistletoe) - Macy Gray
Little Drummer Boy/Hot Hot Hot - Wyclef Jean
Noel! Noel! - Eve 6
Blue Christmas - Jon Bon Jovi
Merry Christmas Baby - Stevie Wonder & Wyclef Jean
O Come All Ye Faithful - City High
Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You - SR-71
Christmas Day - Dido
Run Rudolph Run - Sheryl Crow
Back Door Santa - B.B. King & John Popper
Little Red Rooster - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Christmas Don't Be Late (Chipmunk Song) - Powder
Silent Night - Stevie Nicks
I Love You More - Stevie Wonder & Kimberly Brewer
White Christmas - Darlene Love

Five volumes in 14 years would probably qualify these all-star benefit albums (Special Olympics) as a holiday tradition by now, even if all five have been hit-and-miss affairs. Still, the 2001 edition has a few more highlights than a quick glance at its offerings might indicate. Jon Bon Jovi tries to imitate Elvis on "Blue Christmas," and Darlene Love--surely as important a voice in the genre as Bing Crosby--falls short in her attempt to recreate her superior 1963 Phil Spector version of "White Christmas." Genuinely cool, though, are Macy Gray's jazzy "This Christmas," Eve 6's pop-metallic "Noel! Noel!," City High's hip-hop Christmas hybrid, and SR71's goofy take on Billy Squier's already goofy "Time to Say I Love You." Things get downright steamy--and Santa-sized--when John Popper meets up with B.B. King for the bluesy "Back Door Santa." --Bill Holdship

Everything Is Borrowed

Sales Rank:5055
List Price: $14.98
Lowest New Price: $9.88
Lowest Used Price: $4.69
Artist(s):

The Streets

Tracks:

Everything Is Borrowed
Heaven For The Weather
I Love You More (Than You Like Me)
The Way Of The Dodo
On The Flip Of A Coin
On The Edge Of A Cliff
Never Give In
The Sherry End
Alleged Legends
The Strongest Person I Know
The Escapist

The first time people heard The Streets' debut "Original Pirate Material", they couldn't figure out whether the artist was black or white, from London or the Midlands, deadly serious or a total joker. We now know who Mike Skinner is, so for him to have come up with a record that surprises and delights is an even more impressive achievement. "Everything Is Borrowed" finds Mike not only rediscovering his irrepressible buoyancy, but sailing away on that trademark stop-start lyrical flow to waters no one else has visited.

One Day As A Lion

One Day As A Lion is the creation of musical comrades Zack De La Rocha & Jon Theodore. This is music about space - the space between friends and collaborators where ideas form; the space in a song where the tension builds waiting for the next wave of sound; the space in the corners of the recording studio (Sinatra's old room at Ocean Way) where the sound gathers to fade and die. One Day As A Lion worked hard to capture that space on tape, unadulterated, unmolested, from heart to hand to skins to mics to tape to speaker to ear. The result, someone said, sounds like Led Zep meets Dr. Dre.

Radio Disney: Move It

Sales Rank:1981
List Price: $12.98
Lowest New Price: $7.86
Lowest Used Price: $6.86
Artist(s):

Disney

Tracks:

We Will Rock You - Disney, May, B.
Move It Like This - Disney, Hollander, S.
Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) - Disney, Clivilles, R.
Le Freak - Disney, Rogers, Nile
Cha Cha Slide - Disney, Perry, W.
Macarena - Disney, DeYarza, C.
U Can't Touch This - Disney, Burrell, K.
I Got You (I Feel Good) - Disney, Brown, J.
BYou - Disney, Churchwell, R.
Get Ready for This - Disney, DeWilde, F.
Kung Fu Fighting - Disney, Douglas, C.
Limbo Rock Remix - Disney, Strange, B.
Who Let the Dogs Out - Disney, Douglas, A.
Y.M.C.A. - Disney, Belolo, H.
Shout - Disney, Isley, O.

Picking a primary gripe about Disney's Move It is easy: In the post-Madagascar landscape of 2005, the infectious dance tune "I Like to Move It," first popularized by K.K. Project in 2002, is conspicuously, disappointingly absent. However, birthday-party booty-shakers will have forgotten their allegiance to K.K. Project's song; when Baha Men instruct them in their watered-down way to "Move It Like This." Standbys "Macarana," "U Can't Touch This," "Le Freak," "Kung Fu Fighting," and "I Got You (I Feel Good)" supply Mom ample cause to move it, too. --Tammy La Gorce

Time To Get Ill

The joke of Licensed to Ill's cover--that the Beasties could crash their jet into the side of a mountain and keep on tickin'--serves as a good metaphor for a career that even some of their 1986 admirers thought might be over after the one-time-only shock of this full-length debut. That thousands of funk-junkie wannabes have since failed at re-creating its groove, breaking-the-law vibe, and ear-splitting mix of rock and rap is an even better joke. And funniest of all is the record itself, which packs dexterous boasts, aural puns, and lots and lots of yelling into a disc that can still be listened to with as much pleasure as it gave in '86. --Rickey Wright
