| | Def Jamaica CD (2003)
Tell Me The Riddim
$12.65 
This compilation highlights a musical form that has been a shot in the arm for the ailing U.S. hip-hop collective. Beset by warmed-over gangsta-style imagery and threadbare production values, the industry came up with a winning formula in the combination of hip-hop and Jamaican dancehall, a perky amalgam of bossa-nova beats, reggae, and old-school toasting that had been popular almost everywhere but the U.S. since the mid-1980s.
DEF JAMAICA features established American artists such as Cam'ron, Shawnna, and Juelz Santana on infectious cuts spiced up with insistent ubiquitous dancehall beats. On the triumphant (and wildly popular) "Dude," Ms. Thing gets sultry in Indian style with Shawnna, assisted ...

| | Sizzla Up In Fire CD (2002)
Tell Me The Riddim
$29.09 
Sizzla offers up the perfect audio text for women's studies classes; one can almost hear future generations of cultural anthropologists rubbing their hands together with glee before diving into this treasure trove. In fact, entire dissertations have been written with flimsier evidence than what the DJ provides on this album.
In quick succession, Sizzla runs across the spectrum of male attitudes towards females, kicking off with the romantic "We've Been Together," filled with adoration and adulation for the woman he loves. Admiration is also evident later in the set with the equally laudatory "Black Woman Showoff." But respect soon turns to distaste when presented with the archetypal, deceptive Jezebel of "Beautiful Eyes," a lovely number that sets the stage for the chauvinism implicit in Sizzla's attitude towards women, as he consigns this particular flirt to the flames.
There are no such strictures on his own behavior, as the DJ turns from "Beautiful Eyes" to the doe-eyed, and demands, "Gimme all the girls." It's title "Mek Lot a Doe" is clever, as is the irresistible bounce of the supporting rhythm; a dancehall anthem in the making. "Oh Yes Baby," he's got them all, and the graphic sexual demands he makes on this number could conceivably make even Lil' Kim blush.
Pure pornography completes the gamut of male-female relationships, but then a further boon for the women's studies students, "Baby," is immediately followed by the alpha male posturing of "Can't Touch Mi Turf." A professor couldn't invent a better example of the close ties between aggressive sexuality and power politics.
There again, the alpha must keep close ...

Also available in a 3-pack with GREATEST HITS, VOL. 2 and LOVE STORY.
This succinct package is for anyone and everyone who wants to put a little hope and inspiration in their lives. It culls the most popular works from the vast number of recordings made by Andy Williams, a smooth and soft balladeer of old time favorites and contemporary hits. Of these tunes there is little to take away as great songs tend to attract top-notch singers.
From the film BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S comes the smash hit "Moon River," which Williams has made his own. It's easy to see the affinity twixt singer and song when the qualities of one are best illuminated by the qualities of the other. The simple melodic formula of "The Hawaiian Wedding ...
