CD Reviews

Excellent JB collection and hiphop history!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This 2 CD set contains the 24 most sampled James Brown tracks. The liner notes list each song and the somgs that have sampled them. For such hits like Funky Drummer, the list is very, very long. A lot of research and effort went into making this compilation.



Although I found many of the tracks started to sound the same after a while, this is still an excellent collection of most of James Brown's greateset hits.



If you're looking for an interesting hiphop history lesson or just some great funk/soul, this CD set is a must. Have fun recognizing your favorite samples and breaks!"
