If you like the work of just about any artist on the Definitive Jux labelthen, yes, you'll like this. The tracks are a pretty good mix betweenrelatively "regular" sounding hip-hop like the C-Rayz Walz and 4th Pyramidtracks, and the more left field styles of Carnage and El-P. As is oftenthe case with this label, the music mangaes to more often than not treadthe right line between being original and being listenable (or evendanceable at times...). Standouts for me include the El-P and Camu Taocollaboration and the Aesop Rock tracks. I was never particually keen onAesop before, but the tracks on this compilation work well.After just afew listens I would have to say there are no tracks that stand out asbeing as impressive as some on the earlier "Definitive Jux Presents" volsone and two (Stepfather Factory, for instance), but this is by no means adissapointing collection. This is particually true when one considers thefact that you get a bonus DVD this time around. The videos are a bit hitand miss in terms of quality, but are entertaining nonetheless and make aninteresting enough edition to the Def Jux catalogue. Not as immediate asthe previous volumes, perhaps, but for the money it costs, there's reallyno reason not to buy this if you are a fan of interesting hip-hop.

I expected so much more. previously as far as label mix albums go, i had a few eastern conference albums, the two previous def jux albums, and "FAREWELL FONDLE 'EM" which is still my fav, eastern conference seem to hold most of the talent ie.. copywrite, cage, mighty mi, camu tao..... but dont get me wrong, i'm an avid fan of RJD2, and El-P's work on cannibal ox's "The cold vien" is incredible. which brings me back to "FAREWELL FONDLE 'EM" which is almost a collaboration of both labels. i can only dream of the potential a merger would have ummmm... definitive conference anyone??

3.5 Stars... Very Good Compilation!

Some of the reviews have said this isnt a very impressive compilation. I would have to disagree. I have followed Def Jux for a long time, and I think this album is quite good. Yes, there are some lackluster tracks on here.. such as: Make News, Homesickness, Aquatic and Jello. Unfortunately these few that I have mentioned are practically unlistenable. But in contrast to these few poor tracks... both Aesop Rock tracks are nice, Rob Sonic's track is nice too. El-p's tracks are dope, Oxycontin 2 is a great concept track. Hangar 18 came off amazing on both songs. For the most part this album is not only good, it is great, but due to the 4 poor songs, I had to give it only 3.5 stars.

The Aesop Rock and RJD2 tracks are really exceptional. I didn't like everything else, but that's really why I bought the album, to find out about good artists. If you're buying this for the same reason, or if you're completely new to the underground, I reccomend the Anticon label sampler as well.

the latest installment of the definitive jux roster is back, and in some regards better than ever. this one is easily better than djxp2...better beats and lyrics. contrary to other reviews...i think el-p did a nice job with his lyrics and beats...but i feel aesop rock has fallen off a bit with his wordplay; although i sense it more in his voice and delivery. gems of the album for myself are tracks 7-9...homesickness is just absolutely ill, with devil in the hole's hook very catchy and nice. i would have given this album a 5 but without cannibal ox i just can't.
