One of the best Freestyle CDs!!!
If you are someone that loves to dance, then this CD is for you. It includes everything from "Let The Music Play" by shannon to "One Way Love" by TKA. There are so many great songs on this CD. My favorite song on the whole CD is "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz.

This CD is hot!
I love this CD. It has so many of my favorites on it. This whole collection is good, but this is my favorite. A must have!

GET READY TO SHAKE IT!
This is in deed the best type of music ever! It reminds me ofbeautiful times in my life and I feel that I live them all over again!...I got my sisters hooked on this too, and they are in CT.!

Get ready to dance...
80's freestyle dance music at its best. The late 80's mega-huge dance hits DIAMOND GIRL, CATCH ME I'M FALLING, LET THE MUSIC PLAY, TAKE IT WHILE IT'S HOT and POINT OF NO RETURN alone are worth the price of the album, but you also get I CAN'T WAIT, LOVE LETTER, ONE WAY LOVE, SENDING ALL MY LOVE, FASCINATED, and FOR TONIGHT. The other songs are not very good, but so what. Be sure to check out Volumes 2, 3, and 4. ... Read more

Classic Freesytle
One of the best freestyle compilations available. If you make this purchase you will not be disappointed.

Freestyle's Best
If the price of collecting all ten volumes of the excellent "Freestyle's Greatest Beats" is cost-prohibitive, then this is an excellent alternative. Paired with "Freestyle's Greatest Hits Volume 2", this CD covers a majority of the best artists of the genre, and indeed contains some of the biggest hits. It includes Sweet Sensation ("Sincerely Yours"), Shannon ("Give Me Tonight"), Company B ("Fascinated") and Nice N Wild ("Diamond Girl"). In addition, it also includes harder-to-find classics like Tiana ("First True Love"), Pajama Party ("Over and Over"), Sandee ("You're the One") and Safire ("Don't Break My Heart"). For the price, this collection can't be beat. Get both volumes, and for an added bonus, check out the "Best of Freestyle" CD which contains additional classic jams. With these three CDs, you'll cover a great deal of the greatest hits of freestyle! ... Read more

Dig a little deeper
So-so effort of late 80's 'rolling' music. Some gems. Some not-so-great cuts. Buy it if you can't find certain songs elsewhere. ... Read more

Expanded to 10 volumes from the original 7, Timber Records head Joey Gardner's Freestyle's Greatest Beats is a roughly chronological history of the music. Volume 1 scores with freestyle fundamentals from heavy hitters such as TKA, Cover Girls, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, and Exposé. This disc is heavy on the classics and features cuts that aren't played as much anymore. Jellybean's "The Mexican," in its original form, blurs the line between dance music and rock; England's Information Society brings some Euro-cool to the Latin hip-hop; and Nayobe's hyperemotional "Please Don't Go" hits the head as hard as the hips. --John Sanchez ...

Freestyle classics all the way!
In the late 80s, early 90s I grew up on this stuff in NYC, clubbing at the likes of The Tunnel, The Underground, Heartthrob, 1018, The World ... (I'm sure all you people not from New York, or from Long Island *grin*, had your own clubs) ... I can guarantee this Freestyle Greatest Beats series is jammed packed with classics. I needn't rehash the contents, since you can easily see the list of songs here on Amazon. But all these artists - Noel, Will to Power, Judy Torres, Cynthia, TKA, Latin Rascals, etc. - bring me right back to the days. I finally found songs I'd wanted for more than 10 years now. What more can I say. You'd better make sure you have thick walls and nobody's home when you play these CDs, because you're going to be pumping it up and swaying to the beats right there in your living room. (I know I do).

DANCE TILL YOU CAN'T DANCE NO MORE!
If you enjoyed those unforgettable 80s when freestyle dance music ruled, then don't miss the memories this CD brings back to you.

Crusin on Laurel Cyn. 1986-1991
This really takes me back to the crusin in my 1988 Prelude on Laurel Cyn here in San Fernando, CA. If you want flash backs this is one of the CD"S to buy.

Great for reminiscing!!!
All of the Freestyle CDs are worth buying. The comeback of dance music has arrived, thanks to local radio stations such as 103.5, KTU (New York). "I Won't Stop Loving You" by C-Bank is the epitome of what freestyle is all about! When I listen to these CD's, it brings me back to the summers of the late 80's and early 90's. Great to listen to while driving on a sunny day with the sunroof open or the top down with the radio blasting! ... Read more

The Best Mix Tape on CD
If you haven't purchased this CD then your missing a great Freestyle Mix CD. This is how the Mixtress tears up those three turntables. The song selections are great and the mixes are terrific. Track 14 will blow you away.....This is the kind of CD that you put in your car CD player and hit the replay button....Strider

Freestyle 'obsessionist' from South San Francisco
Wassup to all freestyle fans...You know how when you first get a CD and you skip through the first 10 seconds of each track to see if the songs are good? Well as soon as I started playin this one, I never stopped it...bottom line, best freestyle mix CD I got without a doubt. Buy it! ... Read more

Real Quality Freestyle, ..............Take Notes
This is the intro CD of one the best freestyle labels ever, period. You can see that hard work and dedication went into this CD because it is real quality freestyle. This is what freestyle is supposed to be like, great production, awesome vocals, clear quality sound. Willie Valentin really saved freestyle for a while with his creation of the Artistik label, and is most likely still working on more great freestyle under that label. If you want to buy a great quality freestyle CD, and for some reason don't have this yet, buy it, along with every other Artistik freestyle CD you can find. Peace, Keep Freestylin'. ... Read more

A CLASSIC FREESTYLE MIX
I have this mix in my collection and is one of my favorites.I like the way that the DJ mixxed one hit with the others.The songs "right on time" and "the night we shared" are my favorites.

BRAVO
Great CD! I HOPE THAT THEY PUT TOGETHER A GROUP OF GREAT SINGERS LIKE THIS ONCE AGAIN. FOR ALL THOSE FREESTYLE FANS OUT THERE "PLEASE DONT MISS OUT ON THIS" ;)

Classic Freestyle!
This is a great CD if you're into freestyle. Metropolitan released some of the greatest freestyle recordings to ever be released. These two megamixes contain all of their first freestyle releases (some of which are very hard to get your hands on now). Jeff Romanawski does an excellent job on mixing all the tracks together. Get this one before it's too late...

Good , But Could Be Better

Metropolitan Records
I think this cd is awesome. I think they put a lot of effort into making this cd. All of the songs on here are worth listening to. I didn't have to skip over any because I didn't like it. I highly recommend this cd to anyone who likes dance/house music. ... Read more

Great Old School Freestyle!
This CD not only sounds great, but offers some hard to find selections that were even hard to find when the songs were released. Selections are from '83 to '91, and offer a nice mix of both New York and Miami Freestyle. If you're a fan of good Freestyle, then this is a must have for any collector.

Old Skool Junkie
If you like OLD SCHOOL freestyle, pick this one up. It has a three great songs that you won't find in the "Greatest Beats" or "Explosion" collections - Security, I Need You, and Give Me Back My Heart. If you've never listened to post-1991 Freestyle, pick up a NEW SCHOOL mix CD also, such as DMA's Freestyle Flava, Freestyle Forever, or Freestyle Boom.

gets to the heart of old school freestyle at it's best!!!
wher else can can you find Debbie Deb's tune which is like a roller skating classic. Corina is the bomb and the rest of the cd rips. perfect for partys or to just cleaning the house and singing all the songs out loud. ... Read more

It takes some getting use to....
I like this CD, it was good. I just didnt like one song and I am not goig to say which one. However, the songs are very personal I think the lisener has to sit down and really lisen.

Slippin, Fallin', Can't get up.....
What happened to the sound and energy that made this label so awesome. Its seems as though no one really cared on this one. Like it was just another to add to the bunch. Pure Pleazure, Denine, and Sammy C carry this cd and keep it from sinking..... ... Read more

I love the lyrics to all of these songs. However, sometimes her voice tends to be annoying

HOT NEW ARTIST ANDREA- NEW FREESTYLE/DANCE ARTIST!
This is a great CD thats profiling a HOT new artist Andrea. ON this CD you can find her as (Andrea, Amrose, Kristina, Intrepid and by a spelling mistake Andre). The re-makes of Show Me and Never Again are classic freestyle songs with some updated HOT music and vocals. The freestyle re-make of "Genie in a Bottle" is not Andreas most powerful vocal song but still sounds great and has a phat beat. Intrepid feat Andrea- "Eternal Love", "Tell Me Why" and "Please Don't Go" are all great jams with a variety of talented freestyle producers. I highly reccomend this CD. Also great songs by Tolga and Ray Guell. The other 2 or 3 male vocal songs are hideous! There are 18 songs. If you have any questions please e-mail: MikeC5426@aol.com ... Read more
