Freestyle Greatest Hits: The Complete Collection, Vol. 9 (Freestyle Greatest Beats) Audio CD – CD, February 11, 1997

Awesome

Hello everyone! I grew up with freestyle along with the electonic/dance pop/industrial O' the day genres of music; but freestyle music held a profound, deep corner in my heart. I think it was it's unique sound and pensive lyrics that attracted it to me. Most of the songs dealt with wanting to party your ass off or when both sexes were tryin' to get their love lives staightened out. A characteristic of a freestyle song was that it made you feel emotion and that each song had that uniqueness(I'm talking about the earlier better freestyle/club songs that are showcased on these compilations).I just turned 32 y/o last Dec. 2004, so let's do the math; that I would've been around 14-15 y/o, when freestyle music was gaining attention(now don't you guys laugh). By the peak of freestyle('round 1991), I was a senior in highschool- 17 y/o,freestyle was standing on it's last limbs and so be very fortunate that you've stumbled upon a collection of the greatest freestyle dance classics; 'cause after 1992 freestyle officially died! I mean their was freesyle still but just not as good. The times were changing, people's tastes were changing- even with dance music or any type of music for that matter. I could go on & on about this; so I strongly recommend this-plus TOMMYBOY RECORDS took alot of time to put this together. I just noticed a volume #'s 9 and 10 which I plan on purchasing even though I have the majority of these songs in some shape/form or another(c.d. and/or vinyl). O.K. folks, I'm gonna leave you with my top 10 list of freestyle songs(from my personal top 100 list which I'll print out somewhere at a later date). I want to thank all freestyle writers/producers and artists for the impact you left on me and when listen to these songs I'm still moved and motivated to pursue my singing- again THANKS!peace- Love, JULIUS-ALLANJULIUS ALLAN's TOP 10 FREESTYLE DANCE SONGS10 PLEASE DON'T GO NAYOBE9 CHANGE ON ME CYNTHIA8 COME INTO MY ARMS JUDY TORRES7 I WON'T STOP LOVING YOU C-BANK feat.

This is by far the best collection out there with freestyle dance music. I have had it for years and it is the only thing that gets me up and running on my treadmill which at 32yrs old, is much needed. It is a great blast from the past - going to the clubs and dancin and partying all night in Philly. Reminds me of the good ole days!! If you get every volume there are only a few songs missing. Most are there and it will really take you back. Highly recommend for the early 90's East Coast clubbers!!

I haven't purchased this yet but after seeing the song titles and reading all the great comments, I've made up my mind!! The song titles flashed a wave of GREAT memories for me. I am a native South Floridian and a clubber back when these songs were out and I loved that time.I won't be able to make the Freestyle Explosion concert in Miami, FL on Oct 20 but buying this collection is the next best thing for me.I cannot wait to listen to all of it!!!!

A decent assortment of song's but not with any length.The earlier volume's in this series are a better choice. It takes time to find what to like because there are so many different choices.Be patient and read the reviews because we all do and try and reach out to help one another in explaining as best we could . Everyone has their own all time favorite's,lol.Happy Dancing.Bye

This disc is the ninth of a 10-disc series that is the definitive collection of Freestyle music. The series features a variety of songs from the most popular artists of the genre, including many hard-to-find classics. All discs include comprehensive liner notes charting the history of Freestyle music (except Volumes 8 through 10, which were later added to the series). A must-have collection for anyone interested in dance music from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s.Disc Nine Highlights: Volumes 1 through 7 were, for the most part, chronological in the listing of songs. Volume 9 offers a variety of hits that span Freestyle's popular period, including "Come Go With Me" by Exposé, "You're The One" by Sandeé, and "Remember" by Fascination. Also, Stevie B appears twice with "Party Your Body" and "Spring Love," two classic Freestyle hits.This volume also contains classics by Johnny O, Will To Power, Pajama Party, Cyn! thia, Connie, The Latin Rascals & Sa-Fire, and more.
