It's about time a collection of De La joints was released. Although the classic remix of Buddy is available here, I was disappointed that Itsoweezee from the Stakes Is High CD was not included. If this truly were a singles collection, that joint would be in the mix. (It was a legitimate single with a video and everything). And for the sake of arguing, joints like 4 More and The Bizness were not singles as far as I know. I won't front on The Bizness too much though, because it is a gem featuring Common right as he dropped the Sense from his name and was discovering his experimental hip-hop self. But if 4 More can be on this disc, why not Eye Know, which was a much better song and also got video play. ...Overall, without the pickiness, this is a worthwhile collection for the uninitiated De La folks. True heads know to cop the complete CDs (especially the first four).

I'm happy to see that De La is getting props. I loved the songs, but "Eye Know" and "Hey No Go" has to be included with their greatest hits. Actually, any song from "3 Feet High and Rising" could be considered a greatest hit. This CD is a good starting point for newbies to the De La scene, but what we badly need from this group is an anthology. They have too many tight tracks over their career to be held on only one CD!!!

I grew up on these Cats&it's cool to see them getting a Greatest Hits Package that goes back to a time period when in Rap/Hip-Hop you had to be creative&have your own voicing.these Cats Brought there own Perspective to the Rap/Hip-Hop Game&these Songs reflect a time period.Production was cool&the flow was right on.

The CD itself was in good shape and I received the item as described. HOWEVER, in the future, I suggest that the seller CLEAN the cd case. It was disgusting and had stains on it.
