Advantages: Big name artists, DVD special edition

Disadvantages: Changes of genre to quickly (RnB to Hip Hop to Rap)

I just bought this album and it is amazing. it is better than any previous neptunes / NERD etc stuff.

If you like the neptunes stuff then it is for you. For you neptunes virgins out there, there stuff is usually basically Justin Timberlake on a more rnb edgey tip. (they produced some of the Justified album with NERD)

HOWEVER, on this album, they leave most of it up to there mates in the biz. IT is a PRESENTS... album, so its all stuff that they have produced.

The best track is by far is Frontin by Pharrell and freatuiring Jay Z. it is a class piece of RnB. Pharrell is really making a name for himself in the RnB world, and everyone is wanting a piece of the pie, much like Sean Paul's success.
Other wicked tunes on the CD include Busta Rhymes "Light You're A** On Fire", O.D.B. (now Dirt) "Pop Sh*t", and Nelly "If". Kelis/Nas "Popular Thug" is also an absolute tune

You also have many other colaborations with top notch artist, such as Nelly, Busta Rhymes, Pharrell, Ludacris, Jay Z, Vanessa Marquez, Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss, Nas, I-20, Clipse, Ab-Liva.

I think that of you are into the more relaxed RnB, such as Jay Z and nelly as opposed to the hardcore RnB then this is for you.

It is a very good compilation and if you are new to the RnB scene then this is certainly the CD to get you going.

I would say that there are prehaps one or two duff tracs, but out of 15 you cant say fairer than that. Its certainly one fro any respective RnB fan's collection, allong with the BADBOYS 2 soundtrack!!

The limited edition includes a bonus DVD. I think you mightn only be able to egt it from the states though cos i bought mine off the net

Rolling Stone magazine gave it 4 stars out of 5 saying that with appearances from most of the big-name rappers and wall-to-wall Neptunes beats, this should be the world's greatest hip-hop compilation--and much of the t
ime it is. Cant say fairer than that!
