Near flawless re-release. Why remix perfection?, Jun 19 2007
By Todd Patrick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Champion Sound Deluxe Version (Audio CD)
I love most everything that comes out of Stones Throw, but this album is a breakaway standout classic. Two top performers at the height of their game collaborating like Monk and Trane, only you don't need to wait almost fifty years to hear them together (Discovery! doesn't count anymore since the Carnegie Hall concert; I digress). It's great to see this album get much-deserved respect in an extended package, complete with instrumentals and all new remixes from Madlib; at this price you can't afford not to pick this up.Now the bad news: "The Red" is different - radically different - from the beat to the incredible vocal chorus by Cris Williamson (from "Shine On Straight Arrow"). This new track isn't bad, but it's not the one I loved from the original release. "No Games" also has a new backing track, and this time I might call it an improvement. These differences are also reflected in the instrumentals on the second disc. The initial pressing had a minor track called "Ice" featuring Medaphoar which is not featured here in the original version or the extended (by one verse) version from the 12-inch vinyl of "Ice" b/w "Raw Addict," which thankfully was included. I hate to diss such a great collection, but most anyone picking this version up would want to know what they're missing.
Still, don't let that stop you from getting this incredible album from Jay Dee and Madlib. If you don't have it already, you're sleeping on a hall of fame release from the underground. Pick up the original "The Red" from the Stones Throw Ten Years compilation (also must-have), and "No Games" from P2P (after you BUY this album), and you're all caught up.
UPDATE: I just found the Stones Throw website lists these two tracks ("The Red," "No Games") as "Remix (Prev. Unreleased)" but this info isn't in the liner notes or here on Amazon. They should have moved these two remixes onto the bonus disc (it's only 66 minutes long), included "Ice" and left the original album intact. Much respect to PB Wolf, but there are enough missed opportunities here to call for a do-over. Oh, and I want a pony.

Another J Dilla CD to add to the collection, Dec 31 2011
By EddyB - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Champion Sound Deluxe Version (Audio CD)
Always mixed reviews from song to song, but overall the collaboration of Madlib an J Dilla is nothing short of unique and interesting. The CD sounds very "raw" (like a mixtape), which I like. I also like the story about how the album was made without the two of them being in the same room. My favorite songs are "The Red", "The Exclusive", and "Starz". I love J Dilla's sound and this is just another great CD to add to any collection for those who like great hip-hop producers. I also recommend this to whoever is a Pete Rock, DJ Premier, and 9th Wonder fan.

Best of both worlds, Feb 13 2011
By Fonzirelli one! - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Champion Sound Deluxe Version (Audio CD)
Jay Dilla (R.I.P) + Madlib = JAYLIB.Its the best of both worlds contained in one CD. It took me a while to actually buy this CD but I am definitely glad I bought it (Don't ask me why it took me a while 'cuz I don't even know why). Always been a fan of their work as sole artist but together it sounds like what it should: AMAZING!!!
Very progressive sound that not only contains some great samples mixed, but the verses both artists spit, are more mind blowing than your average mainstream rapper.
Definitely worth the buy for those who love and appreciate REAL MUSIC.
Listmania!
