MTV Party Go, Vol 2 review Part 1 of 2

While digging through some boxes, I came across a CD that my brother owned called MTV Party Go, Vol 2. Now, I pretty much hate everything that MTV shoves out of in the last ten years, MTV2, their movies, and most of their ‘reality shows’. They also release a lot Mix CDs. This was one of their early ones from the early 90s. I popped the CD in and listened to the music, so I figured I’d review all the songs on this crappy CD, enjoy. (Note: All the songs bleed into the next song.)

1 Sadness Part 1 Trance Mix by Enigma: Okay, I remember this song; it was mostly made up of chant and mixed in the some really bad trance computer beats. There is a female who whispers in some language, (French?), and she acts like she’s in the middle of a sexual act when she says her lines. This song has been in many bad movies during the 90s. Grade D-

2 Set Adrift On Memory Bliss by P.M. Dawn: Now this is more like. MIA P.M. Dawn created this laid back song and it blew up when it was released. Using some popular song from the 80’s as its backdrop, the actual music is very enjoyable to listen to. If you can, buy this song. PM Dawn, where have you disappeared? Grade B

3 Summertime by Will Smith: Uh, He was still Fresh Prince when he wrote and rapped this song. MTV decided to change history. Yes, this song is a classic, and probably one of the best Will Smith (uh, Fresh Prince) songs he’s ever had. The song is laid back and the lyrics are easy on the ears. This is a slightly modified version of the original song. Grade A

4 O.P.P. by Naughty By Nature: Yeah, this is one of the many Naughty By Nature’s many hits during the 90s. This song uses the Jackson 5’s hit ‘ABC’, and it works well. It should be noted that this is not the normal radio version of the song, because it’s extended and has more Jackson 5 parts remixed into the song. The original only uses a sample of Jackson’s voice, but this version has little Jackson singing “ABC”. Note: They also sample Flavor Flav’s voice in the song. So, are you down with OPP? Grade B-
