Amazon.com

An indispensable and definitive collection showcasing the passionate genius of the late rapper. The album's nonchronological sequence highlights the contradictory impulses that made Tupac's music so commanding; the 21 well-loved "hits," some slightly reedited for legal reasons, are accompanied by four previously unheard songs. Of the new material, the raw-sounding "God Bless the Dead" has been the subject of the most speculation, owing to its subject matter: a eulogizing of the late Notorious B.I.G.--a mysterious feat, since Tupac was killed six months before Biggie. And, making its first proper appearance on a Tupac album, the B-side "Hit 'Em Up" stands as the most intense outburst of pure venomous rage ever captured on tape. Whether he's waxing political, philosophical, or just plain paranoid, Tupac's empathetic, charismatic style remains unmatched. --Charley Gothic

i like this cd.......2007-07-25

i like this cd i;ve been wanting it for ever and finally i got it love it!

good intro.......2007-04-24

if you don't have any 2pac albums, this is a perfect start. The songs are very close to what I would have picked for a greatest hits.
If you really like 2pac and rap, I would say skip this and buy each of his cd's instead. There still is some great material from him not on this CD

Every track is excellent, but there are some Missing.......2007-04-10

Bad things don't exist on this album, every trakc is Pac at his finest. However there are so many more that should be on here, like Pain (which was omitted from Above The Rim and can't be found anywhere), F*ck The World, Pour Out A Little Liquor, and tons more!!! But yes the music is all amazing with my favourite tracks being
Disc 1:
1. Keep Ya Head Up - Incredible way to start the album
2. God Bless The Dead - Whether its about Notorious B.I.G. or not the song is amazing with a very creepy beat
3. Me Against The World - Very introspective
4. So Many Tears - Pac's darkest song ever
5. Hit Em Up - All my god!!! Calling this a classic diss to me is an understatement, even those other dudes ripped Bad Boy. By far the greatest diss song ever

Disc 2:
1. Brenda's Got A Baby - Was this a true story? on the music video that was on my resurrection DVD it said "Based on a true story" but someone else say it was made up. Well its a great song anyway
2. I Ain't Mad At Cha - Amazing Daz production and lyrics
3. Changes - Another very introspective track with a fantastic piano beat
4. Dear Mama - My absolute favourite Pac song ever!!! As you know, one of the reasons why many consider Pac the best rapper ever is because no one else could make a song like this. Look at 21 Questions by 50 Cent for example, he just sounds corny, this song is genious
5. Heartz Of Men - Some prime Pac lyricism with an excellent DJ Quik beat

Peace and Rest in peace to

Tupac Amaru Shakur: 1971-1996 (We all miss ya)

2 Pac Forever.......2007-04-04

This CD has to be a part of your collection if you dare to call yourself a Tupac fan. Tupac Shakur is not easily dismissed when it comes to music of the century. Yeah I said music, not just "rap" music. Music is felt and moves the listener, putting it in a category is not what qualifies it. Nothin but Cali Love for my homie !!!!!!! For all you haters, listen and learn how its done on the real.

Pac's Life.......2007-02-07

Tupac Shakur 1971-1996 was one of the pioneers for West Coast Gangsta Rap in the 90's and despite being a fantastic MC he got just as much time in the spotlight for his lifestyle, cocky attitute, controvercial behavior, problems with the law and later his premature death. Many of his early songs were thugish gangsta anthems with explicit lyrics and at times it felt like Pac got trapped under that particular charachter, but that's only one side of the story. He portaited an ideal of a young stuggling black male with a troubled past that wouldn't get away from him. From time to time there were also songs that dealt with deeper subject like unwanted pregnancy of a young girl on "Brenda's Got a Baby" Friendship "If My Home Calls", Respect For Women on "Keep Ya Head Up" and premature deaths of homies on "Life Goes On". Tupac's versability and undpredictable behavior was fascinating and his sometimes very emotional sides aswell. He was far from the one-dimensional thug as the media wanted to make him. However, after two successful solo albums Tupac was sent to jail after sexual assault on a fan. While in Jail he started reflecting over his life and eventually his third album was penned, "Me Against the World" a very deep, serious and sincere album. Songs like, the title track, "If I Die 2 Nite", "Tempations", "So Many Tears" and ofcourse the touching tribute to his mother "Dear Mama". It debuted at #1 on the album charts making Tupac the first artist in Prison to top the charts. Perhaps it was also his greatest album too. Some fans however, didn't apreciate the changed Tupac and when his forth album "All Eyez On Me" was finally released it was a back 2 back album that mostly dealt with issues that made 2pac a star back in the day. It was a huge commercial success with hits like the westcoast anthem "California Love", "How Do You Want It" "I Ain't Mad At Cha" and "Heartz of Men". It was also the first ever double album in Hip Hop, making it an even bigger ambition. He also enjoyed great success with acting, other then starring against Janet Jackson in "Poetic Justice" in 1993, he was also making a few films later on. Sadly Tupac was shot to death in a drive by shooting in September 1996 and this ultimately led to an even bigger legacy of an Hip Hop soldier dying as an martyr, and rumours started popping up that he wasn't really dead, Considering there was and still is loads on unreleased material. And who killed Tupac, was it Suge Knight that was scared he would abandon his label? or was it a vendetta from East Coast Rappers?, or was it an old feud from somewhere else?. When Tupac died he was probably the greatest rapper alive, both enormously popular, controvercial and equally good writer and MC. He did use alot of samples to his music though and his lifestyle was a contributing factor to his legacy but he was a magnificient artist that sadly left us too soon. Like some people mentioned, this "Greeatest Hits" collection was released by Death Row and some minor hits weren't included, however you get most of the important hits and with 25 songs on this doubles album you shouldn't be dissapointed. Remember, 2pac was a very productive musician and released countless of singles and having them all included would make this album too long. Overall, Great Collection that captures his best moments. Rest In Peace.

TRULY A GREAT COMPILATION .......2006-04-29

THIS ALBUM IS OFF THE HOOK!!!! I have to give it up for Bone Thugs and Tomica Wright (who is an executive producer on the album). A lot of people come out with trashy hits album, that are just thrown together for money. I may only be 16, but trust me I know. This is the exact opposite. It has 26 songs, and is a 2-disc. All real hardcore Bone Thugs fans, like me, must have this album. It has "Tha Crossroads", "Look Into My Eyes", "Thug Luv", and every song that has been a major hit for them. No song is missing. Bone Thugs are just so ORGINAL, TALENTED, and everything that rappers should be. It is worth every bit of your 13 or 14 dollars, or however much cds cost at your local music carrier stores. It's Bone Thugs, so you know you can't go wrong.

Bone Thugs the best in the game!!!!.......2006-04-03

Yo before I review this album, I only got to say one thing. BONE THUGS N HARMONY IS THE BEST RAP GROUP EVER TO BE IN THE GAME. I listened to them since I was 6 years old. I play all day, everyday, 24/7/365. They Thuggish Ruggish til' the day they die. Now back to the greatest hits, they have a lot of great collections of song on this album, the classic "Crossroads (from E. 1999) (sampled from Isley Brothers "Make Me Say It Again"), "Look Into My Eyez", "Foe The Love Of $", "1st of da Month", and etc. But my favorite song on that whole Greatest Hits is "Money, Money". This has been in my CD player since I first bought it. I can't wait till their new album come out in summer.

Dope.......2007-05-13

The best songs from one of the best hip-hop artists in history. F*cking Awesome!

greatest music .......2007-05-09

biggie is the best i enjoy this cd everyday ,biggie is awsome worth all its money i payed for it,

So-so, but worth a listen.......2007-05-07

This has a few songs I really like and some I had never heard of. I wouldn't really say it's ALL of Biggie's hits, but it's definitely worth checking out.

greatest hits to say the least.......2007-04-03

this was simply the perfect way to end the legacy. all the hits and no filler. i was even impressed with the new material which has been lacking in his posthumous deaths. a must buy for any biggie fan.

half-filler .......2007-04-02

An artist with as influential (and short) a career as Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G., is done a disservice by an album like "Greatest Hits," especially since it was conceived as a tribute to the Brooklyn rapper 10 years after his tragic death.

While half of the release lives up to its premise with choice cuts from B.I.G.'s brief but brilliant studio album output like "Juicy," "Hypnotize" and "One More Chance/Stay With Me," the other half is muddled with posthumously-released cuts that are more vehicles for guest artists like Nelly and Eminem than true Biggie classics.

Removing the layer of artist purity, one would expect radio hits like the massive tribute release "I'll Be Missing You" or duets like "Mo Money, Mo Problems" (with Diddy), especially since minor hits like Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Get Money" made the cut. But no, sadly, neither of the first two tracks are anywhere to be found, while the latter track and "Notorious Thugs" (with Bone Thgs-N-Harmony) made it onto the album.

This album is worth it if you're only passively interested in Notorious B.I.G.'s biggest radio hits (and don't mind paying for a lot of filler). Serious fans and B.I.G. beginners should seek out "Ready to Die: The Remaster" and "Life After Death" and call it a day.

Cool Cube.......2007-07-06

Ice Cube's Greatest Hits is solid, tho not great. He's not as catchy by himself as NWA was as a crew. Nevertheless, this is good rap, telling stories from the urban streets. Also, unlike NWA, there's not teh element of glamorizing gangsta stuff. Ice Cube just tells it like it is, with gritty realism, including acknowledging that the stuff is bad. Here are some notable raps on this disc:

Check Yoself - includes a cool line from the Grandmaster Flash tune "It's like a jungle sometimes it makes we wonder how I keep from goin' under."

Once Upon a Time in the Projects - descriptive, kinda humoress story about getting caught up in a bust when he visits his girlfriend in the projects

It Was a Good DAy - raps about how it was a good day, just cuz none of the usual bad stuff happens.

My Summer Vacation

Bop Gun - really energetic and bouncy

What Can I Do

Time For Remaster...Fans Can Do It At Home!.......2006-09-13

I agree with many of the reviewers here, and there are a ton of classics missing from 'Ice Cube's Greatest Hits'. This is a very good collection (with a new tracks & remixes!) to start off with if you simply want most of the popular hits, BUT there's room for at least 3 additional tracks, and I just HAD TO remaster the CD myself (sorry I can't wait for the record company to wake up!). If you have 'Ice Cube's Greatest Hits', consider adding the following classic joints as BONUS TRACKS -

18. 'No Vaseline' (fr.1991's 'Death Certificate')
19. 'Wicked' (fr.1992's 'The Predator')
20. 'How To Survive In South Central'
(fr.1991's 'Boys In The Hood' SDTK)

Overall, Ice Cube's 'Greatest Hits' CD falls a little short, BUT you can take it up a notch by adding these 3 tracks for a cool 20 track collection!!
Peace, SD

I think this isn't entertaining........2006-05-07

I think this album is boring. I think it doesnt do its job. I think ice cube is a wannabe. I think he needs to get a real job. I think this broke very soon after i got it. I think this won't play in most cd players. i think the cover looks stupid. i think it gave me the idea to put an ice cube in the microwave. i think art is stupid. I think i don't recommend this. I think ive said enough

westsieeeed.......2006-03-03

this cd is the bomb if you love pure old school from the west coast ice cube has an excellent flow. the best line is "I DID'NT
HAVE TO USE MY AK TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY" and if you love his recent material the best line is "WE BE CLUBBIN" this cd should be in your library of music.......................

It's about time. With eight albums to his credit and a reputation that stretches across the globe, someone had to pay tribute to Ice-T. But no one did, so he did it himself. From classics like "6 'N the Mornin" and "I'm Your Pusher" to the more commercial "New Jack Hustler" and "Colors," this compilation is the ultimate cross-section of Ice's hits and favorites. Sure, it may be 13 years worth of material on pimping, playing, and the drug game, but The Evidence demonstrates the strength of a hip-hop artist who's still doing it his way, even into his 40s. Production by Ice himself, Afrika Islam, and DJ Aladdin, among others, underscores the artist's often cinematic approach to hip-hop, with everything from break beats to live bass, ticking snares and guitar licks. If Ice-T is accused of being one of hip-hop's greatest then The Evidence makes him guilty as charged. --Kenji Jasper

Customer Reviews:

Ice is Nice.......2007-07-06

Good collection of Ice-Ts raps. Ice-T is kinda different from most rappers in that he doesn't rely on the beat and the flow so much. There's not so much instrumentation in his stuff, just a drum usually. Ice T relies on storytelling. His delivery is rough, but that works for his stuff. He conveys the no-nonsense business attitude [and sometimes teh menace] of the streets. Contrary to so many critics of rap, Ice doesn't do a lot of glamorizing. He's just gritty realism. Here's some good raps:

6 in the Morning

I'm YOur Pusher

High Rollers

Original Gangster

Colors - tune from the movie

I Ain't New to This

The Tower - song about going to prison and the scary life inside. Great line: "who's got the power, the whites, the blacks, or just the gun tower." Makes a listener really want to NOT go to prison.

Money, Power, Women - starts with Al Pacino's quote from Scarface. Cool.

Looking at my list, it's pretty long. I think I have to say this album is a strong 4 stars, almost 5. If I were more of a serious rap fan, maybe I'd feel it was a 5. Whatever, this a solid CD with serious rap, good storytelling.
You Played Yourself

Old school gangsta rapper with something to say.......2007-06-18

Here it is, The Evidence from one of the first and best. This CD is so awesome, I love it because it makes you think about things long after the music has stopped.
The first half of this album is remarkable, so many great beats with smart lyrics. I can't really pick a favorite, but I really love the message of track 2, I'm Your Pusher. He tells the self-destructive drug users "You don't know what time it is". Instead of pushin' the rock he's pushin the music. It might sound foolish or silly to some, but I like that positive message about keeping a strong mind.
Then there's track 4, You Played Yourself. It's genius, basically saying stay real to yourself. He preaches "stupid, ignorant--don't even talk to me. In school you dropped math, science, and history. Then you get on the mike and try to act smart. Let me tell you one thing, you got heart". Brilliant. Or he mentions "you thought you could do dope and still stay cool? Fool...you played yourself.
Then on track 6, Original Gangster, he paints a vivid picture of the chaos that surrounds South Central L.A. If you listen to the lyrics, you'll get caught up in the sad violent whirlwind that is constantly spinning. He exclaims "I'd be a true sucker if I act like I didn't care".
And of course there's New Jack Hustler. Nuff said.
There are so many other masterful tracks, like 6 'N The Mornin', High Rollers, Colors, Power, The Tower...man, I better stop.
This album is simply a must own. Once again, nuff said.

All Of The OG's Best In One Place.......2005-07-01

Ice-T is known as the first true "gangster rap" artist. He earned this title not by using excessive violent and vulgar language, but because he told true stories about the life of people in the streets. Tales of husters,pimps,gangsters and prisoners are all told, as well as a few true stories from Ice-T's own life. Every song on this compilation is a classic. If you want to hear real rap music and not crunk pop garbage such as Lil John and Chingy, go to the nearest record store and purchase this collection.

Well I guess that's it.......2004-02-13

With Ice-T making bad movies and silly TV shows, his singing days are over. He probably did this to get out of his contract and be fully available to star in the 'Facts of Life' Reunion tour. I hear he's going to play Mrs. Garret's long lost pimp.

THE ICEMAN COMETH........2003-11-05

This is a well put together compilation from probably the best rapper out today.It contains many of his classic hits and is very well put together.I wish there were more rappers of the same calibre of ice t today.He is a very real person unlike many rappers of today who are simply about image and the pursuit of money.GET THIS CD TODAY.

Average customer rating: Very Good needs to be 2, or even 3 discs If you are contemplating getting this you should... Ok, but could have been much better. Project Pat song is sick!!!!

Very Good.......2006-11-11

I'm not exactly the Three 6 expert. I worked in reverse order as far as they are concerned, starting with "Most Known Unknowns" and working back, and quickly found myself intimidated by about ten different albums. I did not know exactly what to do, and I was looking for some sort of "best of" collection that would take all of their good stuff and put in into one easy to manage package. This CD fills that void perfectly.

Okay, now on to the actual music. There is a lot worth listening to in this one. Their lyrics are formulaic, but they are executed with an attention to detail not often seen in lyrics such as these. Their crunk heavy hooks are extremely catchy. All that being said, their production is amazing. I would even go so far as to say that they and Organized Noise might be southern rap's best producers ever. Their high-hat heavy drum patterns combined with a heavy 808 and eerie additional sound effects make for a very unique sound, not just rapwise but really for all music.

There were a bunch of specific songs that definitely jumped off the proverbial page at me. "Sippin' on Some Syrup" with UGK and Project Pat has an otherworldly feel that could only happen with a drug song. "Tear Da Club Up '97" is one of if not the greatest crunk song ever, outstripping most if not all of Lil' Jon's work. "Ridin' Spinners" is bouncy and has an excellent verse from Lil' Flip. "2 Way Freak" has a nice beat, catchy hook and funny lyrics. "Put Ya Signs" is another eerie club song, and "Hypnotize Cash Money" with the Cash Money crew is solid. There are a few missteps. "Slop on my Nob" is disgusting in every sense of the word, and "Late Night Tip" is annoying.

Apart from a couple missteps, this is an extremely worthwhile purchase for any rap fan. Lil' Jon maybe the King of Crunk, but Three 6 Mafia are definitely the founding fathers of this sub-genre.

needs to be 2, or even 3 discs.......2006-08-07

for the past few months I've been getting into three 6 mafia, buying any of their cds I can find. I would definitely say they're top 10 of all time in hip-hop groups, but as with most greatest hits cds, this one doesn't cut it.

now, I'll give it 5 stars because it's the three 6 and all of these songs are bangers, the only real way to get into three 6 mafia is to buy their best cds, or at least buy the best from each disc off of itunes (which is fine, since three 6 has a few filler tracks on each album). "rainbow colors", "stomp", "live by yo rep" and many more classic three 6 songs are missing from their "greatest hits". it seems as if this wasn't meant to be a true collection of their greatest hits, but rather a compilation of their most accessible mainstream songs to complement the release of their latest cd.

all of these songs are good, but there are many more good ones, and if you really want to listen to some three 6 mafia go buy their entire collection and skip on this album.

If you are contemplating getting this you should..........2006-03-18

I think this Album was conveiniently made for the new Three 6 fans, that came after Stay Fly hit radio airways hit hard, and made them household names... Sure it doesna have alot of there best stuff, and to be honest your best bet for just one song slob on my knob is Dl'ing it on Limewire, I hate to say that, but then you can get both versions in one.
Baisically seasoned Three 6 fans wont wanna buy this cause it has a bunch of songs they already have with only 2 new ones, but for people who are new to three 6 this is the best way to introduce yourself to them, and unlike most of there old albums it doesnt have absolutely horrid album art. ( Thank god by Da unbreakables they learned form there mistakes ) And the songs on here dont have the rugged raw, and sometimes scary lyrics of Mystic Styles, so newbiez wont be scared off. This is there more commericial stuff, so it is nice
Thease are in my opinion best songs on this CD in no particular order...

Tear da club up '97 ( Baisically invented crunk music )
Ridin Spinnas
Sippen on some syrup
Slob on my knob
Ass an tites
J-Lo Bootys
Late Nite Tip ( Relaxed different an tight )
Tounge Ring ( Tight ass hook )
Testin my gangsta

I have one question... Why is Wolf Wolf not on here? That song is very commercial an nice for the new Three 6 fan, and it just simply owns...
Other than that this is a very nice mix, and a smart one by the record company that out it out, cause now people who hered Stay Fly, bought the CD will here this, and then in turn want all there stuff. This is good for Three 6, and they deserve it after 15 years of hustling, to make it to the top...

RECCOMEND THIS REVEIW PLEASE!
Sippen on some syrup

Ok, but could have been much better........2006-03-03

This album had tracks like "Tear Da Club Up", "Late Night Tip", "Sippin' On Some Syrup", "Slob On My Knob" and "Baby Mama" which are all necessary because of their popularity, but that doesn't make this album a collection of Three 6's best work. "Who Run It" and "Ridin' Spinners" are also up there in terms of notoriety. How could you do an H.C.P. (Hypnotize Camp Posse) "Most Known Hits" album without "Chickenhead" and "Don't Save Her" which made Project Pat platinum? I would like to have seen more of their Prophet Posse cuts like "Motivated" from the album "World Domination" in 1997 and either "Da Summa" from "Mystic Styles" in 1995 or "Da Summa" (Remix) from "The Kings Of Memphis" released in 2000. This album must not have been thought through very well.

I am a big Three 6 fan and have all of their group and affiliate albums, but this one is a little under the bar. It might be ok for new listeners, but not for those who have listened to Three 6 for a while.

I wouldn't by it because I have all of these songs except for the two new ones, but if you are new to H.C.P. you might give it a try.

Project Pat song is sick!!!!.......2006-02-28

This is a pretty good CD with a lot of songs that will get you hyped up when you're krunk, but the last song on the CD, the Project Pat song is hard as f*ck!! The lyrics are bad ass and the beat on the 2nd verse is sick.

Geto Boys - Greatest Hits .......2007-01-21

The Geto Boys "Greatest Hits" (2002) is an album I would recommend for any Rap collection. The Houston group was formed over two decades ago (1986) and today consists of Scarface (A.K.A. Brad Jordan), Willie D (A.K.A. Willie James Dennis) & Bushwick Bill (A.K.A. Richard Shaw). Three of the original members of the group moved on (DJ Ready Red, Jukebox and Prince Johnny C) very early in the groups career, while MC Big Mike served shortly as a temporary replacement when Willie D pursued a solo career. All three members of the group would pursue solo careers, with Scarface's being the most successful. They would split and reunite on two occasions, getting back together in 2005 for the "The Foundation". Track's on that release are not included on this release - noteable among those are the excellent "G Gode" and "Yes, Yes, Y'All". Collectively the trio delivered classic music which should not be slept on.

My favourite track's on this release are:

"Mind Playin' Trick's" - The Geto's Boys most successful single from the album "We Can't Be Stopped" (1991) - an outstanding story about the way one's thoughts get twisted when someones trying to kill them, praying to god and looking for an exit out of the game. The track samples Isaac Hayes "Hung Up On My Baby".

"Six Feet Deep" - Geto Boys created the ultimate R.I.P. track with this exceptional dedication to good friends who have died in the game. This track which was the lead single "Till Death Do Us Part" (1993) samples the Commodore's "Easy". Scarface, Big Mike & Bushwick Bill shine on this release while taking their audience through a funeral, reflecting on a good friends life, and the consequences of the choices we make.

"Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" - Backed by some upbeat production the Geto Boys delivered another classic with this cut, full of outstanding lyrics. Scarface, Willie D & Bushwick Bill shine on this 1999 cut which was featured on "Office Space: The Motion Picture Soundtrack".

The Only Hardcore Gangster Rap Album You Well Ever Need.......2006-08-10

I have not a bad thing to say about this greatest hits package. Its one of the best I have herd, all the the classics are hear plus one bonus track(The Answer To Baby Mary 2). You got Mind Playin' Tricks, Crooked Officer, Scarface, and so many more i dont have the time to mention on one disk. This disk is a great iroduction to people that are not familler with the Geto Boys, and for the people who are, you have most of the great songs on one. It Also Comes With a DVD with all there music videos



Key Songs
-Mind Playin' Tricks
-Damn It Feels Good 2 Be A Gangsta
-Mind Of A Lunatic

good stuff.......2006-01-03

This is what real hip/hop is all about and it really can't get much better. Great compilation.

Where's Do It Like A G.O........2005-04-22

How you gonna have a greatest hits CD and you don't include their first hit that put the GETO BOYS on the map? That's straight retarded. However, the rest of the lp is dope and I loved they put "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangster" on the joint as well as a lot of the songs with Big Mike in the group. Willie D, though is hardcore as they come, can't touch Big Mike's jockstrap when it comes to skills on a mic. If you're looking to get Geto Boys music without having to buy all the Lp's this is a perfect start.

Straight Gangstaism.......2004-03-15

What else can i say...Its the Geto boys finest. The whole cd is really hot. Mind Playin' tricks is by far the best song on the whole album, but their are some other killer songs such as, Six Feet Deep and Damn it feels good to be a gangster. Thier is a song on this cd called "Chuckie" that is straight up holorious. I recamend you try and get the Cd with the limited edition dvd because the have have some classic videos such as mind playin tricks and others. Kop dis

Marion "Suge" Knight's controversial Death Row records have had an undeniable impact on hip-hop culture. With its often-imitated, seldom duplicated George Clinton-sampling G-Funk sound, the label almost single-handedly built the West Coast gangsta genre, propagated via artists like Dr Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube, Tupac, and Tha Dogg Pound. Death Row's Greatest Hits features an impressive dosage of funkdafied classics. Significantly, many of the tracks are taken from two of the best LPs ever released by the label, namely Dre's The Chronic (on which Snoop made his debut appearance) and Snoop's Doggystyle. Cuts like "Lil Ghetto Boy," "Nuthin' But a G Thang," "Gin 'n' Juice," "Doggy Dogg World," and "Lodi Dodi" all sound as fresh today as they did several years ago. We also get Dre and Cube's "Natural Born Killaz," Dre's "Keep Their Heads Ringin'," and some classic--and sentimental--Tupac material like "Dear Mama," "Keep Ya Head Up," and "Me Against the World." The second CD features a glut of rare and unreleased remixes as well as some original tracks, though hardly any of these stand out. They illustrate how thoroughly dependent the label's sound is on the potent G-Funk factor it patented. --Paul Sullivan

Where Is .......2005-11-30

The song by Sam Sneed???? U betta wreckognize where is it, Obviously it aint on this but anyway I would have given this 5 stars if it was.

Death Row is Still Tight.......2004-10-19

I have a lot to say! First of all, all of your reviews have been talking about why All eyez On Me, Doggfather, and Makaveli songs aren't on here. You have to understand that in this compilation was made in 1996, and all of those albums yall have been talking about were made in 1996. Most times, greatest hits albums do not include songs that were JUST released. That's why the songs weren't on there. Second of all, Deep Cover wouldn't be on here becuase that was made a few months before Death Row (the deep cover soundtrack was not on Death Row).


But anyway, the album was tight with good hits on the first disc(i don't have to indentify them you.) But there ARE some missing hits. First of all, in THE CHRONIC, where is the orignal version of Dre Day and Let Me Ride? Those were good tracks, and besides, the remixes SUCK. In DOGGYSTYLE, were is the original made Murder was the case? It was better than the remix. And where is Serial Killa, the D.O.C, Snoop Dogg, RBX, and Dogg Pound collaboration? In ABOVE THE RIM, where is Regulate, and Big Pimpin'? Those where good tracks. In MURDER WAS THE CASE, U Better Recognize, Dollaz and Sense, and 21 Jump Street are missing (21 JUmp Street is obviously a boring and ordinary track to everybody else, but I like the beat and tune.)IN DOGG FOOD, there are no tracks. WHAT THE HECK! Dogg Food was tight! They should have put Cyco- Lic-No, Smooth, Let's Play House, and New York, New York on there. And California Love, the orginal version should have been there, because that was made in 1995, which is not too close to the Death Row's GH release date. So if all the songs I said that should have been added were added, there would have been no space for stupid remixes, and tupac songs that were not under DEath Row. But overally, I in my mind ganve it a 3.5, but now I think it should deserve a four.

Death Row's "Greatest" is a bit of a mixed bag!.......2004-07-12

This two-disc compilation of Death Row's best hit records is actually somewhat of a mixed bag as outside of its early hits from the first two solo releases (Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" and Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Doggystyle"), it takes weird directions in its choices. There is the Ice Cube classic, "No Vasoline" which disses N.W.A. and was recorded before Death Row was even a label. Only two of the seven 2Pac tracks that are included here were actually recorded during his Death Row days. The rest are actually early Pac recordings from his Interscope days (though "Pour Out A Little Liquor" was released on Death Row's "Above The Rim" soundtrack.) A good portion of disc 2 is dedicated to remixes of classic Death Row songs that are included on disc 1. Only the "Let Me Ride" remix seems to be worth the space. The original "Let Me Ride" is nowhere to be found nor is the original "Dre Day". The remix of the latter features vocals from Jewell over the old beat with none of Dre or Snoop's original lyrics. In fact, neither contributed to it at all. The never-before-released "Who Been There, Done That" by J. Flexx is the first of many disses that Death Row would release attacking former producer, Dr. Dre. They would have been better off leaving it off of a "greatest hits" album as its inclusion seems innappropriate. The other brand new song, Daz's "Me In Your World" is a pretty good addition though it doesn't make up for the lack of Dogg Pound classics that didn't make the cut. There are no songs from "Dogg Food" or "All Eyez On Me" to be found here. "Greatest Hits" is a must-buy for the die-hard Death Row fans but it would have been good if they included more of their classics ("Regulate", "Deep Cover") as well as lost songs and rare B-sides such as 2Pac's "Pain", Dogg Pound's "Just Doggin", and the Dr. Dre B-side "Sippin' On Tanqueray and Puffin' On Blunts" as opposed to a number of well-known hits that their label didn't even produce. The inclusion of "Keep Their Heads Ringin" and "Hit Em' Up" were pretty good selections but for the most part, if you own their first few releases, you probably won't find anything worth buying in this Death Row "best of" collection.

Good compilation.......2004-10-10

I really am just writing this to clarify that the song titled "Whatcha Gonna Do?" (#12) that is listed as DMX is NOT DMX... any hip hop fan can tell you that this is Jayo Felony. How that got confused, I have no idea. That being said, this is a good compilation for starting with late 90's hip hop.

Top Hits of '98!.......2001-02-19

This compilation features hip hop hits that climbed the charts in 1998. This album starts you off with a Latino hit called "Still Not a Player" by Big Punisher (R.I.P.). Which was everyone's jam. "Money Ain't a Thing" by Jermaine Dupri feat. Jay-Z which is featured on both JD's & Jay-Z's album. Next there's the L.O.X.'s best song they ever made called "Money, Power, Respect" featuring DMX & Lil' Kim, tight beat. "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" by Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz has gotten so much airplay. Maybe it's their best song too. Track 5 is 2Pac's "love song" called "Do For Love". E-40 has A LOT of slow songs and "Hope I Don't Go Back" is one of them. But it's a nice joint. The next track will get you pumped-up from those last 2 songs, it's called "Party ain't a Party" by Queen Pen w/ Markell Riley, Mr. Cheeks, Nutta Butta, & Freaky Tah. Busta Rhymes will make you "Turn it up" on the next track. "Get At Me Dog" is DMX's first single with a tight beat. (which feature's Sheek of The L.O.X.) I'm not hatin', but Snoog Dogg sounds weak on this good song called "Still a G Thing"; a sequel to "Nuttin but a G Thing". The 2nd verse of the hook in "It's Alright are not for lil' kids ears. "It's NOT Alright" Ya heard? Then there's the most pumped-up song on the compilation called "Watcha Gonna Do". This song is tight! You'll be boppin' heads to this one. Tracks 13-18 are the weak tracks except #14; it's "N.O.R.E." by Noreaga, which should'eve been put with the good tracks (#1-12). Overall, I gave this CD 4 stars cause of tracks 13, 15-18. If you loved the rap music of '98, this one's for you.

A Full Clip Of BCC {4 Stars}.......2007-03-03

There really isn't much to say here. For those that don't know, as far as artists go, BCC consists of Heltah Skeltah, OGC, Black Moon, Smif N Wessun, The Representativz, Illa Noyz, and a few other fringe artists (like Rustee Juxx, for example). What we have here is basically a greatest hits compilation. If you're a fan of the BCC, then this is pretty much a no brainer. If not, then this isn't necessarily a bad place to start your path toward Boot Camp enlightenment. You have classics like "Leflaur Leflaur Eshkoshka", "Who Got The Props?", "Bucktown", and "Headz R Reddee, Pt. 2". I mean, come on. You can't front on the bangers on this album. Chances are, if you weren't familiar with BCC, you were still nodding to one of their gems in the 90's.

My only beef is that there are tracks that were hits that were left off --like Heltah Skeltah's "Therapy" for example.

Boot Camp Clik's Greatest Hits: Basic Training is pretty much a must have for anyone that doesn't have these songs already. If you own most of the BCC catalog, then there really isn't much reason to get this and that's why I only gave it 4 stars. Don't let that mislead you though. The material is definitely 5 star all the way. I recommend grabbing it if you don't already have this material.

Standout Tracks: No Fear (OGC), How Many Emcee's (Black Moon), Leflaur Leflaur Eshkoshka (Heltah Skeltah & OGC aka The Fab 5), Headz R Reddee, Pt. 2, I Ain't Havin' That (Healtah Skeltah feat. Starang) (My Favorite), Bucktown (Smif N' Wessun), Who Got The Props? (Black Moon), and Black Trump (Cocoa Brovaz feat. Raekwon)

Gotcha open.......2005-07-03

This greatest hits is second only to Ganggstars full clip. If your new to the boot camp pick this up. If you think Meth's voice is ill way to you hear Heltah Skelta. To all my old skool cats you probably already got this cause you know real hip-hop.

Boot camp clik.......2005-02-14

This is a tigth cd with some dope tracks by Black moon, Smif N wessun, OGC, Cocoa Brovaz, heltah Skeltah and some others. The best tracks are "Sound Bwoy Burriel" "Who Got Da props" "Bucktown" and "I aint havin that" overall this is sick and you should get it

What it says- This album is Basic Training in tha Boot Camp .......2005-01-26

This is a good hip-hop greatest hits album made by one of the best crews ever to rip the mic. If you are just discovering the BCC (Boot Camp Click), this album is what the title says: "Basic Training" for ya. If you are familiar with the BCC and don't have most of the solo albums, this is a good compilation to give you 13 bangin' tracks to nod ya head to. The BCC groups on this album are: Black Moon-(Buckshot & Evil Dee), Smif-n-Wessun aka Cocoa Brovaz-(Tek & Steele), the now defunct Heltah Skeltah-(Ruck & Rock), and O.G.C.-(Starang Wondah, Louieville Sluggah, & Top Dog). The 4 Black Moon tracks are classic, and the "I Got Cha Opin [Remix]" isn't on their album. The 3 Heltah Skeltah tracks are also incredible, "Leflaur Leflaur Eshkoshka" is my fav. on the CD. Smif-n-Wessun has 3 tracks, "Sound Bwoy Bureill" being my 2nd fav. on the CD. "Black Trump" f/ Raekwon is also a sick song. O.G.C. throws in 2 tracks, 1 from each of their albums, with each song having a different style. I like them both. Finally "Headz Are Reddee, Pt. 2" includes almost the whole click, and is a masterpiece. Good introduction album for newbies, and solid comp. for those without all the solo albums.

WHY ISN'T THERE BEST SONG ON THIS ALBUM??!!.......2001-11-28

I don't understand why Black Moon does not release their spectacular track "Reality (Killing Every...)" on their compilations. In my mind, this is their best work and I think this is my favorite track that they ever made and it is too, too bad it was only released on the "I got cha opin" 12" inch single. What a smooth beat, what nice rhymes. It makes me go crazy everytime they drop a compilation that this song is not on the album and it hasn't gotten too much exposure either or else people would be feeling what I'm feeling. IF BUCKSHOT SHORTY OR ANYONE FROM BLACK MOON IS OUT THERE AND READING THIS, PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU: GO TO NERVOUS RECORDS AND DEMAND THEM TO RELEASE THIS ON THE NEXT COMPILATION ALBUM BECAUSE YOU KNOW AND I KNOW THIS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE TRACKS. I tried contacting Nervous, but they gave me the corporate run around. If you haven't heard this track, I HIGHLY advise that you seek it out and do, download it or buy the 12" inch if you can find it until God wakes Nervous and Black Moon's attention to this. By the way, I'm not taking anything away from the other tracks on this album because it's a powerful compilation, but it's missing a major link...God save us!
