Once again here is Fate of the Philadelphia Freestyle Connection bringing the latest
comments on what is going on with the music. I have noticed that more dedicated (solo artist) albums are being released. This is a good thing unless more than half of it ends up being trashstyle. Obviously, compliations seemed to get increasingly worse as the months since 1996 became years and soon, we'll hit the decade mark. We need to bring back the word "quality" into freestyle. This means that what is new should
not be edging to sound better than "that last CD". Instead, the mentality has to be to record something that can stand as a good representation of what good to excellent freestyle music should sound like. I know what the next question is. What makes a freestyle song great according to (whomever)??? You know the answer to that question!!! This situation will get to my point:

Five hundred years from now, we unearth the remains of the place where you once lived and only three freestyle recordings that once belonged to you were found. What are the three freestyle songs that you would want the future existence to find in your once bedroom, living room, or storage crate???
 
If I had to choose just three, I would take Cynthia's "Thinking About You" cd. I just think that stands as THE BEST freestyle release of all time! It's great because that was Cynthia at her pinnacle, after so many years to just be able to come back and still be able to tear it up and get the recognition she recieved is amazing. But it's also a little bit of a curse because it's like, can she top it? I would also take Lisette Melendez "Greatest Hits" cd and George LaMond "The Hits & More". Those were both excellent packages and each did more than just throw some singles together. Lisette had the d.j. mix, full bio, pictures with her peers, and hard to find or out of print material. George LaMond stepped his up a little and recorded 5 all new, exceptional tracks.

Most importantly, those 3 albums definitely represent freestyle in a positive & talented light.
