I can't remember exactly why I bought this compilation back in the day, but it was probably because of 'Ignition (Remix)' that is one of, if not his biggest song. From there, who knew that R. Kelly would become one of my top few favourite artists? The classics are fairly well chosen. Songs like 'Down Low', 'You Remind Me of Something' and 'She's Got That Vibe' are brilliant songs and offer variety. I have the 2 disc version with remixes, and often with Kelly, his remixes are better than the original. Such an example is the 'Old School Mix' of 'Bump N' Grind' that to me is even better than the original. "My mind's telling me no!!!!" Of the three previously unreleased songs, 'Thoia Thoing' feels a little like part two of the Ignition remix with it's upbeat, almost hip hop feel to it. I love the production change-up into the second verse. 'Touched a Dream' is a dope romantic tune. 'Ghetto Religion' is decent but the worst track on here. A great compilation and a worthwhile starting point for R. Kelly or R&B in general. His alleged non-musical related escapades have sadly overshadowed his rare talent, vastly underrated discography and his influence on R&B for decades. I normally list the best tracks on reviews but it's most of them.
