Why it is called a best of album I don't know, since at the time of its release he only put out one 8 song CD. It still is a good album. A lot of tracks are off Mobb Deep albums and a few off Cormega, Infamous Mobb, and other Big Noyd albums. A few of the songs are just Big Noyd's verses off of songs he was on, but a few rare songs are on here as well such as:

Downfall, Facts of Life, That's Me, Where Do We Go (off a J Love mixtape from '97), Armed & Dangerous, Shit That He Said (off "Violator" album), Don't Get Blow, the classic "Grimy Way" (off "Lyricist Lounge Vol. 2"), Hoodlum (off "Hoodlum soundtrack"), The Professional (off DJ Clue's "The Professional"), and Claim To Be.

It is a 27 song 80 minute album so fans of Noyd or QB rap should definitely get a copy, J Love does ad-libs over the songs on a few of them and it gets a little annoying but still a must have album
