80's Freestyle! Can't get better than this!
This is the best collection of 80's Freestyle CD's! I like almost ALL the songs on these CDs and I'm pretty picky..

THIS IS AWESOME SET, I REMEMBER IN THE 80'S WHEN I USED TO GO TO THE BEST CLUB IN SOUTH BEACH IN MIAMI , ( CLUB 1235 ) OR IN BROWARD ( CLUB METRO ). I USED TO TAPE THOSE SONGS (EVEN SOME OF THEM DIDN'T KNOW THE SINGER . BUT NOW I DO. ALSO I WENT TO SEE THE FREESTYLE EXPLOSION CONCERT WHERE " EXPOSE, LISA LISA, COMPANY B, INFORMATION SOCIETY, AFRIKA BAMBAATA , CONNIE , DEBBIE DEBB , FREESTYLE , LIME (GREAT GROUP) , AND MANY OTHERS, AT AA ARENA, THAT WAS AWWWWEEEESSOOOMMEEEE. I HOPE I CAN SEE THEM AGAIN. THIS IS A GREAT HIT . THANK YOU FREESTYLE.

A Good Freestyle Starter Kit!
I confess. I am totally nostalgic. So even though I was a metalhead at the peak of Freestyle's hayday, I got into listening to it a few years after it was popular. Seeing that a LOT of the clubs and radio stations here in NY are playing it a lot I guess I have nothing to be ashamed of.
I bought this set FREESTYLE EXPLOSION (Volumes 1-5) for my husband's birthday. And who do you think plays it? Me!
This is a good "starter kit" featuring such freestyle artists like STEVIE B., CYNTHIA, THE COVER GIRLS, GEORGE LAMOND, NOEL, EXPOSE and CORO. There are a few things that stopped me from giving this set the perfect score of "5", instead of a "4".
1. Where is TKA? They were my favorite fresstyle act. Here, they are represented by ONE track: One Way Love! Where are Tears May Fall, Scars Of Love, Louder Than Love etc.?
2. They repeat tracks! I am a stickler for detail and work very hard on my personal mixes and repeating songs is a big no-no for me. Well, they play the song Let the Music Play by SHANNON and the song Facsinated by COMPANY B twice! It makes me mad cuz that is space they could have used for TKA tracks!
3. There are some acts on here that I'm not sure I would consider freestyle. NU SHOOZ was an 80s synthesizer group that had the hits I Can't Wait and Point Of No Return. I like NU SHOOZ but do I think they belong in the ranks with freestyle acts like NOCERA and NAYOBE? No. they would be more at home on a TOTALLY 80s compilation. Same can be said of PRETTY POSION and TAYLOR DANE.
But I am nit-picking. All in all the FREESTYLE EXPLOSION box set is a good party starter. There are also a FREESTYLE EXPLOSION Volume 6 and FREESTYLE EXPLOSION 7 for sale seperatley. May I also suggest the Tommy Boy collection FREESTYLE GREATEST BEATS Volumes 1 - 10 and TKA's GREATEST HITS. Now all ya need is a keg of beer and your party is complete!

Awesome Jr. High songs hits
I was just in Jr. High when I listened to these awesome hits! Awww..i remember going cruzin with my eighteen year old cousin and her dates. I was all into aqua net and eye liner and shinny shoes!! I can't belive I found these songs.Perfect. I thought i was supposed to look under "Old school". They are perfectly put together. I can't imagine a better compilation. It does bring back memories. Love this album. I highly reccomend.
