Def Jam/Universal (Italy), 2002. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)... $14.99
The classic single! "X Gon' Give It To Ya" kicks of loudly but loose, a horns and a growly intro from DMX before falling into that steady beat and DMX balancing wild energy and on beat control. We paired with the equally huge "Party Up" (Up Here)" on the flip. (Hip Hop) 12-inch, Vinyl record

Pop culture baggage aside, this is some pretty mesmerizing stuff from Kanye West!

Def Jam, 1990. Very Good (pic cover)... $6.99
LL has always been just about the most reliable practitioner of the hip hop slow jam, and this classic from the tail end of the 80s/early dawn of the 90s is about as endearing as they get!

Stone classic LL Cool J!

Def Jam, 1991. Used ... $2.99
We're going to be honest here and tell you that Nikki D's rhymes are nothing special, but they don't insult us either.
