 (4 Customer Reviews)
Ultimate Aaliyah was released in the U.K., but it has a lot to offer U.S. fans of any degree, especially if they have a region-free DVD player. Between the two audio discs in the set -- the first is a greatest hits, the second is a helpful grab-bag set -- all but three of Aaliyah's chart entries are included ("Age Ain't Nothing But a Number," "I Refuse," and "Come Over" are missing), and a DVD contains an hour-long documentary that features interviews and promo clips. Disc two contains the remainder of her tracks from the Romeo Must Die soundtrack as well as material from the Timbaland and Timbaland & Magoo albums she guested on. As of 2005, this was the most thorough Aaliyah best-of available, since 2002's I Care 4 U was split between past hits and new material. From the delightful "Back and Forth" through the all-too-sobering "Miss You," Ultimate Aaliyah adequately represents the shortened career of a tremendous talent who benefited from some of the best songwriting and production work by Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and R. Kelly. Casual fans will get most of the hits; collectors will be pleased to plug some gaps and get the documentary as a bonus. ~ Andy Kellman

| | Jurassic 5 Feedback CD (2006) Edited
Ultimate Aaliyah album
$10.15
As one of hip-hop's most unique and charismatic contemporary crews, Jurassic 5 have been laying down positive lyrics with true-school influenced rhyme schemes since they first appeared on the original LYRICIST LOUNGE compilation. Album three is more of the same from the tight-knit quintet of MCs, but that's certainly no complaint. With solid production from DJ Numark, Salaam Remi, and Scott Storch, the J5 prove themselves to be the masters of feel-good, backpack rap.
While some hip-hop purists may be quick to point out the crossover feel of this record (which includes two guest spots from Dave Matthews Band), Jurassic 5 manage to stay true to the original sound, making the off-beat collaborations work and putting down some of the most consistently clever flows of hip-hop's third decade. FEEDBACK also includes a few departure tracks like "Brown Girl," the crew's fresh spin on crunk, and the Latin guitar-laced instrumental "Canto De Ossanha."
Leading up to the release of Feedback, Jurassic 5 rapper Soup distanced his group from the rap underground that had embraced his music, but apparently had not paid enough of his bills. "It's a step up for us because we have been basically known as an underground group....We've been known as a backpacker group." Indeed, after years of bringing their live show to thousands of scattered festival-goers (Lollapalooza, Warped, Bonnaroo, Reading), the group reached for the same type of commercialized sweet spot that had made Black Eyed Peas one of the hottest things in rap during the early 2000s. That doesn't mean more sex, but it does mean more anthems, more featured appearances, and more sounds from the contemporary rap charts. With producer Cut Chemist gone for a solo production career, the group focused heavily on their other in-house source, DJ Nu-Mark, who contributes an opener in "Back 4 U" that makes it sound as though nothing has changed in the Jurassic camp. His pair of Sugar Hill tributes later in the album ("Radio," "In the House") end up being highlights of the album, not because they're stellar, but because the outside producers ...
