Da-na-na-na-nah. It's the one and only D. R. E. with Snoop Dogg over the instantly recognizable David McCallum sample. Smoke everyday. . .

Beats by Jay Dee. B-side by Nikki Giovanni.

The album that catapulted Jurassic 5 from the underground! Quality Control is one of the great hip hop albums, a record that's filled with great tracks, yet flows along as the ultimate headphones experience. The rhymes by Zaakir, Chali 2na, Akil, and Marc 7even are top notch in group dynamics and the solo shots, and the record has some of the best production Cut Chemist & Nu-Mark ever put down. Tracks include "How We Get Along", "Contact", "Quality Control", "World Of Entertainment (Woe Is Me)", "The Influence", "Monkey Bars", "Quality Control", "Twelve", "Contribution", "The Game", "Improvise", "Swing Set", "Jurass Finish First", and more.

As you might guess, this is as much a remake of the Michael Jackson hit as it is a new version of the Blackstreet hit, or at least a couple of the remixes are.

Different mix with a slower, sparer beat than the LP version of this huge hit.

Featuring Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Xzibit, Hittman, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and more. 22 tracks counting interludes, including "Still DRE", "Xxplosive", 'What's The Difference", 'The Next Episode", "Let's Get High" and more. . .

A batch of some of the best and/or biggest hits from one of the most singular talents in the history of hip hop – love him or loathe him! Most of our favorite Shady tracks either pre-date many of the ones here or were buried on the LPs (such is the case with most greatest hits packages) but it's still worth picking up if you don't have all the LPs, particularly the lesser later couple! It includes a few new tracks, to boot. 17 tracks on 2LPs (including the intro): "Fack", "The Way I Am", "My Name Is", "Stan" (main version plus live bonus version feat Elton John), "Lose Yourself", "Without Me", "Like Toy Soldiers", "The Real Slim Shady", "Mocking Bird", "Guilty Conscience" feat Dr Dre, "Just Lose It" and more.

Em's fourth album hits many of the same notes as its predecessor, signaling a bit of a comfort zone for the former Slim Shady. The beats largely fall on the darker-toned lilt of the now instantly identifiable sound. Tracks include "Just Lose It", "Mosh", "Evil Deeds", "Never Enough" with Nate Dogg & 50 Cent, "Yellow Brick Road", "Like Toy Soldiers", "Puke", "My 1st Single", "Big Weenie", "Ass Like That", "Spend Some Time" with Obie Trice, Stat Quo & 50, "Mockingbird", "One Shot 2 Shot" with D-12 and "Encore" featuring Dr. Dre.

The full length debut for Michael Kiwanuka – a record that stands out brilliantly, not only for it's strength and depth – but also because almost no one is making airy, often acoustic soul music on a major label in 2012! The record has been compared to Terry Callier's work with producer Charles Stepney in the early 70s – and that's not off base at all, but Kiwanuka has a sound and a voice of his own. The songs are engaging and immediate, his voice confident and assured – and the instrumentation is pretty amazing for a contemporary soul album! We're talking sax, trumpets, shakers, flutes, bells, blocks and more. A wonderful surprise! Includes "Tell Me A Tale", "I'm Getting Ready", "I'll Get Along", "Rest", "Home Again", "Bones", "Always Waiting", "I Won't Lie", "Any Day Will Do Fine", "Worry Walks Beside Me" and "Lasan".

Timbaland goes straight for the mainstream on this disc full of pop crossover numbers, though his signature percolating beats keep the whole affair bubbling. 17 tracks in all, with more than a few you'll be hearing al over the radio, including "Oh Timbaland", "Give It To Me", "Release", "The Way I Are", "Bounce", "Come & Get Me", "Kill Yourself", "Board Meeting", "Miscommunication", "Bombay", "Throw ItOn Me", "One & Only" and "2 Man Show".

Includes "Funkorama" by Redman, "Beez Like That (Sometimes)" by Jamal & Calif, "It's That Hit" by Keith Murray, "Ferar" by Tommy Gunn "Up Jump The Boogie" by the Wixtons and "Reign" by Erick Sermon. 11 tracks plus 2 interludes.

The breakout album for singer Frank Ocean – the featured voice and name attached to some stellar material by other acts leading up to this career-making set for Interscope! Simply put, Channel ORANGE is the hella rare pop phenomenon that not only lives up to the pre-release hype, it actually transcends it! Ocean has a unique and distinct voice and style, and we hope he's here to stay. Includes "Thinkin' About You", "Sierra Leone", "Sweet Life", "Super Rich Kids", "Pilot Jones", "Crack Rock", "Pyramids", "Lost", "Bad Religion", "Pink Matter" and more.

Bad Meets Evil is Eminem and Royce the 5-9. Eminem's verses here are as good as the rhymes on his long out of print ep, and Royce's are just about as nice. Reef's production on both tracks is probably better than most of the production on Eminem's Aftermath/Interscope LPs.
