Product Description

Product Description

Rapper. Singer. Actor. Producer. Entrepreneur. Quite a CV for a girl from Newark, New Jersey. But all of these talents blossomed from Latifah's firm roots in her rhyming steez. Coming to the fore in Hip Hop's golden age in the late '80s, Latifah deftly blended hip hop, dancehall, and R&B with her powerful rhymes that took on the male-dominated, and at times misogynistic, hip hop world and 'punched it dead in its eye.' Hip-O. 2005.

2.0 out of 5 stars Coulda Been A Lot Better! Jun 2 2005
By Skech P - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I've been a Latifah fan since '88. Therefore I was very disappointed when I saw the tracks chosen on this collection. Where's "Dance For Me", her first video single or "Ladies First (the song that got her more acknowledgement). Also "Come Into My House", "Fly Girl", and "Can't Understand". Although I think Latifah is one of the greatest femcees to bless a mic, this lineup doesn't do her any justice. And to make matters worse, U.N.I.T.Y is edited. Most of the tracks are from "Black Reign," which I do think is her best album. But still her debut album, "All Hail the Queen" should've got more acknowledgement than just one track, especially when it came out during a time when females HAD to have mic skills to compete with the men (during 80's Golden Age, you had to be tight.) For every true old school QL fan, the best albums to get are Black Reign & All Hail the Queen. Nature of a Sister & Order in the Court are good as well, but not as great. Nonetheless, this album is definitely NOT the BEST of Queen Latifah.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good songs, Bad EDITED CD April 11 2005
By I'm hungry. feed me - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This cd is a decent collection of Queen Latifah's past hits. My main problem : The censoring. While I can understand the censoring on "R.O.U.G.H" And "Black Hand Side, The censoring on U.N.I.T.Y. is just plain wrong. Now, I can understand why some people would find the words "B!+(#" and "#o" wrong, the purpose behind the use of the words on the song have a stong message behind it : Women shouldn't tolerate name calling. Censoring U.N.I.T.Y. defeats the whole purpose of the song. The version on this cd is a remix and the new instrumental track to the song is pretty much the only plus to it. While this is a decent collection, it needs improvement

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs more songs Jun 1 2007
By DRS 1974 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
While the selection of songs is good, it does need more songs added. A couple of songs from the first two albums should have made it and the singles from the Sunset Park and NJ Drive soundtracks are some of her best work.
