Album Reviews
Arriving in 1967, Greatest Hits does an excellent job of summarizing Dylan's best-known songs from his first seven albums. At just ten songs, it's a little brief, and the song selection may be a little predictable, but that's actually not a bad thing, since this provides a nice sampler for the curious and casual listener, as it boasts standards from "Blowin' in the Wind" to "Like a Rolling Stone." And, for collectors, the brilliant non-LP single "Positively Fourth Street" was added, which provided reason enough for anybody that already owned the original records to pick this up. This has since been supplanted by more exhaustive collections, but as a sampler of Dylan at his absolute peak, this is first-rate. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Dangerous Kardinal Offishall Feat. Akon |
| Hitmaking machine Akon has always been good at helping others. Both established and new talent have often queued for his helping hand. One of his latest and most successful collaborators has been Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, a former producer of emerging bands from Toronto's hip-hop scene, whose own records showed a hearty mix of reggae, rap and dancehall, showcasing the ongoing romance between North American hip-hop and the Caribbean ."Dangerous," a keyboard feast paying tribute to the female anatomy, benefits from Akon's Midas touch; so much that one could argue if Akon should have claimed the song for himself. But no one is complaining. It has been a huge summer hit stateside, reinforced with a powerful alternative version with extra muscle provided by Sean Paul and Twista; and it has paved the way for Offishall's imminent, star-studded breakthough album "Not 4 Sale", featuring all the usual suspects (Rihanna, Estelle, The-Dream, Clipse, etc.) of Today's R&B world. | |
