Say what you will about The Game, but apart from maybe Canibus, not many would attempt and pull off a track like '300 Bars'. As with another mixtape from The Game, 'Stop Snitchin Stop Lyin', this CD is packed with disses toward G-Unit and Co, over well known beats. One of Game's biggest strengths in his time in hip hop has been choosing good beats, and many classics are picked throughout '300 Bars' and this mixtape. It's a mixed bag though as the album loses some heat in the middle, and there are also snippets of tracks like 'Where I'm From' and 'Playa's Only' and others that make this feel a bit like a compilation going back to it years later. Best Tracks: 300 Bars & Runnin', I'm a King, Dreams

This kicks off well with the boppy 'We're Almost There' and 'Take Me Back', with the latter being one of the strongest tunes. Following those is 'One Day in Your Life' that remains one of my favourite songs from MJ and my favourite pre Off the Wall song. It has 13x the plays of pretty much every other song on this album on Spotify. Amazing vocals! From there it's all nice, enjoyable music, without reaching any amazing heights, but not being too far away in a number of cases. 'Dapper Dan' is the only thing I skip. If you like Michael's voice you should find a number of songs to enjoy on here that showcase it perfectly. We're Almost There ★★★★ Take Me Back ★★★★ One Day in Your Life ★★★★★ Cinderella Stay Awhile ★★★☆ We've Got Forever ★★★★ Just a Little Bit of You ★★★★ You Are There ★★★★ Dapper Dan ★★★ Dear Michael ★★★★ I'll Come Home to You ★★★★ Best Tracks: Take Me Back, One Day in Your Life, Dear Michael, I'll Come Home to You, We've Got Forever

Call me crazy, but I've never gotten the fascination with this man. I think that it's partly due to the format of albums like Donuts and this with the short tracks that make it worse, where songs are over before they begin, and it is easier to make something sound good for one minute as opposed to four. It's very soulful, largely due to being sample heavy, and there's some originality, but as I've said, little grabs me. I see this as being background music, or to be put on while playing a video game or something, but I would never sit at my computer or boom box and chuck this on. Best Tracks: Reality Check, I Told Y'all, Pay Day, Big City

When I heard this remix album was in the works, this is not really what I expected. A lot of these tracks do not differ from their originals very much at all. So, while this isn't necessarily a bad thing as MJ has one of the better catalogues of music you are going to find, if you grew up on the guy, this is a difficult album to recommend shelling out any cash for. The remixes on 'Blood on the Dance Floor' offer something more unique, and with the plethora of MJ best of compilations, as I mentioned, this is hard to recommend. Apart from the music there is also some brief dialogue from MJ thrown in to apparently go along with the plot to the Cirque du Soleil show all this was from.

I'd love an actual official release of the stuff that didn't make his albums (i'm sure eventually it will come). I think I read that for Dangerous about 100 tracks were written. When this was leaked some people thought it was his long awaited album, but it's just mainly outtakes from past albums and some featurings with 3T.
