Editorial/Description:Amazon.com: The hip-hop entry in Rhino's Millennium Party compilation series doesn't so much capture the sound of the year 2000 as it does that of 1989. In the wake of "Walk This Way," Top 40 radio realized that its listeners would accept the Fresh Prince's tales of teen mock-woe, Tone Loc's Coasters-derived rockers, and Young MC's, er, tales of teen mock-woe. Up to and including Snoop's "What's My Name?" (the CD's newest cut, from '93), this excellent PG-rated set makes nearly flawless choices. Biggest exception: "Tennessee" by Arrested Development, whose leader Speech's nonstop self-righteous mumbling will drive everyone into the next room. --Rickey Wright

The only CD you'll ever need

This CD gets the party started and the party don't stop til you turn it off! It's (almost) more fun than Erich's mom putting on chaps after a few shots of tequila.
MHHP is the best CD ever compiled, and that is not an exaggeration.
Buy it. Cherish it. Love it. Share it.
Soundtrack to the glory days of rap and hip-hop!

I had been notorious at high school for scathing hostility towards current-day hip hop and rap of the late 1990s to the present but I never denied how much I loved the earlier years of this formerly wonderful and fun genre of music.
These 18 tracks while varying in enjoyable for me, showcase what I think were and remain staples of the glory years of hip-hop and that once, this now disgusting genre was at one time a genre of fun, dance and even witty.
The best songs for me are "Hip Hop Hooray", a popular basketball theme during games I played at a private school I attended in childhood, "Good Vibrations" arguably my favorite hip-hop classic of all time despite it's cheese factor rearing it's head, "Around The Way Girl" by LL Cool, and even "U Can't Touch This", all of which were anthems for my early childhood during their charting days. I enjoy the rest of the songs as well.
Even parents who despise or are concerned by questionable content in current day rap music would make a good move by buying this collection.
Bust it.

Much like the "Millennium Dance Party" disc, but not dance, this is simply full of great hip-hop, from what I would call the fun days of rap. I think anybody could come up with another disc of tracks that belong here, but still good stuff. I honestly dig it all, but favorites would be from Grandmaster Flash, Tone Loc, Young MC, and PM Dawn. Plus the biggest hits from Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre for some g-funk. I also went through a decent House Of Pain phase, so glad that's here. In short, if you're anywhere near 30 and need just one disc of old rap, this collection is the bomb!
Cool as heck!

If you're a fan of these tunes from the 90s, you'll love this disc. Yes, they omit a couple (Wild Thing by Tone Loc, Gonna Make Ya Sweat by CNC Music Factory), and they have a couple that are not "real" hits in my mind -- Tennessee by Arrested Development? Why did they put this song on here? Of course, though, that's personal preference. Overall, great mix.
