Customer Rating:      Summary: Hip Hope Hits 2007 (Chapter III)....alright, but it could've been better Comment: The Hip Hope Hits compilation continues with the 2007 edition. As with the previous releases, it features both old and new Christian artists. The few standouts are Grits with the thought-provoking song, "Changes", DJ Maj and Liquid with the slow-grooving, "Gotta Go Now", Liquid and new girl group MOC with "Crazy", about how men drive women crazy, MOC's jumping "Let It Go", the infectious "Money Song" by Gotee alum super rap group, LA Symphony, former Gotee labelmate Verbs with "Mutual" and new Gotee artist B. Reith with the funny "Go On". I'll give John Reuben and Relient K's Matt Thiessen's "Nuisance", Shonlock's "Lean" and KJ-52's "Plain White Rapper" (Kalimba Remix) the benefit of the doubt. As usual, Gotee CEO TobyMac is always "trying" to be down with the rap game. His contribution, "Hey Now", featuring Grits member, Stacy "Coffee" Jones, sounds better without TobyMac's vocals. The other garbage songs doesn't do the remainder of this release any justice. Like I put it in my title, it's alright, but it could've been better.
