| | M C Hammer Back To Back Hits: MC Hammer/Vanilla Ice CD M C Hammer Discography of CDs
MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are a great pairing for a Back 2 Back Hits disc. Both artists were the personification of pop-rap in the late '80s/early '90s, and they unexpectedly became million-selling artists on the strength of just a handful of singles. MC Hammer's five songs do an excellent job of gathering his best material, as all of his biggest hits -- "U Can't Touch This," "Addams Groove," "2 Legit 2 Quit," "Pray," "Have You Seen Her" -- are included. Vanilla Ice's half, on the other hand, is imperfect, to say the least. "Ice Ice Baby" is here, of course, as is his minor final single, "Cool As Ice (Everybody Get Loose)," which featured Naomi Campbell. However, "Play That Funky Music" and "I Love You" are taken from his lame live album, not To the Extreme, which is where the original hit versions are. That alone makes the value of his five songs negligible, but the Hammer section is so good, this disc is still recommended to budget-minded pop-rap fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

I AM. SASHA FIERCE represents another change of pace for Beyoncé. Unlike the relatively streamlined, retro-soul inflected B'DAY, I AM... is a sprawling two-disc set designed to reflect two conflicting sides of Beyoncé's musical personality. The first disc sports reflective, sometimes moody ballads, while the second, attributed to Beyoncé's brash alter ego, Sasha Fierce, is loaded with propulsive dance-floor fillers. Except for this stylistic divide, I AM. pays ...

Luther Ingram is always going to be most famous for his huge 1972 hit "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right," and many listeners familiar with at least some of his work aren't aware that he'd been regularly releasing records since the mid-'60s. Pity for the Lonely has both sides of nine singles from 1966-1971, so it almost acts as a pre-"(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right" best-of of sorts. None of these tracks, of course, made nearly as big an impact as that 1972 monster, and some of them were flops. But they do include more than a half-dozen low-to-high charting R&B hits of the late '60s and early '70s, among them "My Honey and Me," "Ain't That Loving You (For More Reasons Than One)," "To the Other Man," and "Be Good to Me Baby." Fans of the more mainstream-inclined Memphis soul sound will enjoy this material, though Ingram was something of a middle-of-the-pack soulster who wasn't nearly as distinctive as, say, Johnnie Taylor or Sam & Dave, though some of these tracks bear mild similarities to those artists. On early cuts like "Since You Don't Want Me" and "Oh Baby, You Can Depend on Me," Sam Cooke stands out as a big influence as well. Some of the more obscure cuts have a somewhat grittier, bluesier, and funkier ...
