  Amazon.com: Definitive Jux Presents II: Music: Various Artists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Definitive Jux Presents II is the rarest of artifacts: a label showcase album that's consistent, cohesive, and utterly exciting.
2001's Def Jux Presents was notable for the brilliant last recordings of the legendary Company Flow and their mastermind MC, El-P, who incidentally owns the Def Jux label.
One of these, "Stepfather Factory," is the epitome of the Def Jux style: a dense, fierce fuzz with lyrics whose sci-fi turns of phrase never weaken their emotional punch.

 RA: Resident Advisor - Various Artists - Definitive Jux Presents 3 - CD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Definitive Jux 3 is the third in the series of artist showcases from the label (obviously) following on from previously successful releases such as 2 and the Revenge Of The Robots DVD.
There are definitely some songs in here that really impress but they are coupled with tracks that fail to make an impression on these ears.
Definitive Jux Presents 3 is not only volume 3 of their label showcase series but it highlights three of the four elements of hip hop - MCing, DJing and b-boying.

Three other labels are doing similar things, but Jux is the only one that enables consumers to buy “physical product as well as the digital songs (i.e., a song & a sweatshirt or a dvd & hat, etc.),” according to publicist Ben Fasman.
Definitive Jux plans on releasing digital-only titles and eventually opening the service up to other labels and artists.
This forward thinking move by this indie hip hop trailblazer is another phase of Definitive Jux's charter to cater to the fans who are the lifeblood of the label's continued success.

In today's music, Definitive Jux is possibly the most prolific underground hip-hop label.
In 2001, Definitive Jux released its first compilation sampler with a handful of songs featuring the core of the Jux roster.
Even with a few missteps, Definitive Jux Presents 3 is an extremely robust and hardwearing compilation filled with exciting and stimulating material.

 dOc DVD Review: Definitive Jux Presents: The Revenge of the Robots DVD (2003)
Def Jux, as it came to be known, allowed for purer musical expression, phat beats meant to tell the truth, not just to sell records.
This well-produced travelogue, slickly edited to a thumping hip hop beat, is entertaining even for Def Jux newcomers, if only because its subjects are intelligent, funny guys with worthwhile things to say about life on the fringes of the recording industry.
The primary bonus is the so-called "documentary" on Def Jux records (34 min.), an seemingly random assemblage of footage of various artists on the label philosophizing about American culture and the current state of hip hop music.

Def Jux's third album showcasing new and established artists on their roster features raw hip-hop from the likes of Company Flow, Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, Mr.
Def Jux's ingredients of smart but not gangsta result in 16 pieces of tight production and heavy lyrics, hip-hop of the urban grime variety, MCs with that jaded air of passivity in their voices but nothing but effort seeping from the tracks.
Def Jux's continued attempts to showcase new and established artists on their roster is admirable but I'd much prefer it if they stopped doing so in this way.

 KLUDGE MAGAZINE - Review - Definitive Jux: Presents II
Def Jux's first compilation received high critical acclaim and now Presents II is here, with another great consistent production thanks in part to EL-P himself, who produced half the album.
Electronic beats and turntable trickery are predominant in some of these track's beats, banging from beginning to end with outrageous things never done before in hip hop.
Best of all, the Def Jux artists lay low when it comes to proclaiming the greatness of being underground.

 various artists :: Definitive Jux Presents III :: Definitive Jux
Then big money and lawyers got involved, and it was decided that Def Jux was just a little too close in name to Def Jam for their own good.
Their willingness to eschew the expected and forge ahead in new territory has attracted some of the scene's best and brightest to their fold, and "Definitive Jux Presents III" showcases this talent.
Truly if there is a more "definitive" compilation of rap's best and brightest artists in 2004 who refuse to limit themselves in topic matter, flow style, beat choices and emotional range, this reviewer is hard-pressed to think of it.

This is another solid example of the lineup that Jux has at its disposal and there seems to be no slowing down.

Most of what is here has been previously or recently released as the A-side of a Definitive Jux single.
Aesop Rock's "Dead Pan" is too clunky, and RJD2 has done more interesting work than "I really Like Your Def Jux Baby Tee." Newcomers to the label don't introduce themselves particularly well either.
In the end, Def Jux effectively shooting themselves in the foot with this compilation, by attracting sales away from many singles that were easily dope enough to stand on their own.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Various Artists: Definitive Jux Presents, Vol. 3
This disc arrives in the midst of scattered speculation that the Def Jux empire is losing some of its relevancy.
If Def Jux does indeed need an explosive declaration of dominance, though, the third installment in their compilation series isn't it.
From the rambling history-of-rap spoken intro onward, too much of this disc is boring and blatantly half-assed.

Def Jux co-owner Amaechi Uzoigwe says the label was motivated to open its own download store as it watched its payments from iTunes grow each month.
Uzoigwe admits that, with exclusive content going straight to the Def Jux Web store, the label's physical distribution partners "hate it." But Uzoigwe believes the site will position Def Jux to be at the forefront of a new business model.
