I really enjoyed the remixed versions of Jennifer's past singles. So, I decided to buy this CD and I was very pleased. J to tha L-O is awesome. Revamped versions of "love don't cost a thing" "ain't it funny" and "I'm real" are great. It gives the CD a hip-hop/R&B feel. Actually almost all of the tracks have the hip-hop treatment."I'm gonna be alright" and "feelin' so good" are also infused with hip-hop beats. To me, these remix versions sound better than the originals. Besides the hip-hip/R&B stuff, J to tha L-O's got some great dance numbers. I really liked the disco/dance/latin feel of the "walking on sunshine" remix. "Let's get loud" on the other hand could've been better.
The best remix on this CD has got to be the hex hector remix of "waiting for tonight." The pulsating sonic sound is awesome. It's still one of my faves. As a whole, this CD is very upbeat, fun, and great to play anytime.
This cd combines Jennifer's two previous albums into a must have album. All the best songs of both On The Six and J. Lo are on the album. They are remixed into better songs. This album also includes Ain't It FUnny and I'm Real!!!Love Don't Cost A Thing (RJ Schoolyard Mix feat. Fat Joe)-This is not one of the better remixes. Besides adding some rapping from Fat Joe and a little beat it is like the original version-7/10
Ain't it Funny (Murder remix feat. Ja Rule)-If you haven't heard this song have you ever listened to the radio? This #1 smash always makes me wanna sing a long when I hear it. This is also the remix of the remmix which features Cadillac Tah-10/10
I'm Gonna Be Alright(Track Masters Remix)-This is a fair song on her J. Lo album but with the remix it makes it much more danceable and pleasant to listen to-8/10
I'm Real (Murder Remix feat Ja Rule)-Another one of my favorites. Sounds similair to Ain't It Funny but better in my opinion-10/10
Walking On Sunshine(Metro Remix)-This remix has nothing special except an addition of bets to the background-8/10
If You Had My Love (Dark Child Master Mix)-As always the Dark Child remix is very good. Although no one additional sings in it but it is a whole lot better than the original song-10/10
Feeling So Good (Bad Boy Remix feat P. Diddy and G. Dep-The original version of Feelin So Good wasn't that good but adding P. Diddy and G. Dep and some extra beats etc. makes this a lot better-9/10
Lets Get Loud (Pablo Flores Remix)-This is a fun song. The remix sounds different but is good-8/10
Play (Sack International Remix)-Play is one of my fav songs but the remix is nothing special-8/10
Waiting For Tonight (Hex's Momentous Radio Mix)-This is another one of my fav remixs.It sounds cool in this version-10/10
Alive-The only non-remix song on the album. It is off the soundtrack of her movie Enough. I actually enjoyed this slow song-9/10
Instead of purchasing her other albums I would suggest this remix album because it offers an excellent combination of the two! I also like the album art it is all scenes from her music videos.
...Anyway this CD kicks ... it ROCKS a good percent of the remixes are HIP-HOP only 3 Dance/Club traxks and 1 Ballad, the rest are Hip-Hop. All songs are good and breath new life into J.Lo's songs. The tracks are as fallows:*****************************************************************

Ok, now like I said this CD Kicks ... all song are good party songs but some of the remixes are named wrong. The remix for "Let's Get Loud" is titaled "Pablo Flores Remix" its not a Pablo Flores Remix it is the "Kung Pow Castle Hill Club Mix" found on the single for the song. And onother one is the remix for "if you had my love" it states "Dark Child Master Mix" sounds just like the plain "Dark Child remix" found on the single for the song. The other songs are great, the best mix is "walking On Sunshine" it has a great club beat to it my other Fav. is the Murder Remix for "Ain't it Funny" ya'll have heard it B4...
