Nobody could have predicted the impact these scrawny young upstarts from sleepy Davis, California, would have on the hip-hop world. Their debut 12-inch in 1993 seemed novel, a track apiece by Blackalicious and Lyrics Born and an instrumental cut-and-paste symphony by DJ Shadow. It took the hip-hop community by storm, though, and the fledgling label was elevated to elite status when Latyrx (Lyrics Born and Lateef) and Shadow dropped their monumental mid-90s debuts. With their rare funk samples and heady, tongue-tying lyricism, Solesides helped jump-start the vaunted independent hip-hop revolution of the past decade. This release presents Solesides' growth and maturation and offers some of their rarest out-of-print and vinyl-only gems, a blistering new posse cut ("Blue Flames"), and a host of freestyles and demos. Other highlights include Blackalicious' "Count and Estimate" and selections from their Melodica EP. Though the core of Solesides record today under the Quannum moniker, Greatest Bumps chronicles a spirit, innocence, and freshness that resuscitated hip-hop. --Hua Hsu

 Keep This In Your Ride!!! December 17, 2006
This is such a great listen especially for being 2 discs long. Whether you grab one or the other you'll be receiving a funky, smooth, and dope listen with tight lyrics and chill production. Quality material-recommended for all to check out. Peace!
Good funky bumps. February 24, 2006
If you like funk, hip-hop, and good dance music, this is the album for you. Good stuff.

If you're anything like me, this CD is a MUST have. By the time I discovered the dopeness that is now known as Quannum, a lot of their earlier work was just impossible to find. So SOLESIDES GREATEST BUMPS give me an opportunity to check out tracks that I never would have been able to hear otherwise.
The one thing I learned from hearing this: these guys did not just become good with ENDTRODUCING and A2G. They've been awesome pretty much from the beginning. Gift of Gab and Lyrics Born are two of my favorite emcees period and hearing their earlier rhymes is just a lot of fun for me. Unfortunately, because I hold thowse two in such high esteem, Lateef often gets thrust into the mantle of "that third rapper" but it would be wrong for anyone to say that he isn't dope in his own right.
The beats are just SICK. That's another thing I love about this collection. DJ Shadow and Chief Xcel are just downright incredible behind the boards and on the 1s and 2s. This also shows that DJ Shadow IS a hip hop producer and not just some trip hop guy.
Ok, enough with my gushing. Just in case you don't get it, I really like this stuff.

Without a doubt two funktastic CD's of rarer tracks by all the right players, from Shadow on the beats to the rhymin' styles of Gift Of Gab, Lateef The Ill Truth Speaker, Lyrics Born, and others just as crazy. Each track continues to pound you with intensity and amaze you with simplistic complexity. It will take you on the perfect melodic journey that only the best hip hop can achieve. This stuff is REAL, and damn is it GOOD.If you want DJ Shadow beats, they're here, but don't expect Endtroducing. . .style songs - these are all from the early-mid 90's, when he was rolling with the Soleside Crew, including Blackalicous and Lateef. It's rapping so fast and on you won't believe your ears. Smooth and polished lyrics with that underground, indy-sounding production - unbeatable combo. For the price, you're getting ten times your money's worth. Buy it, check it, LOVE IT.
