I've been a Latifah fan since '88. Therefore I was very disappointed when I saw the tracks chosen on this collection. Where's "Dance For Me", her first video single or "Ladies First (the song that got her more acknowledgement). Also "Come Into My House", "Fly Girl", and "Can't Understand". Although I think Latifah is one of the greatest femcees to bless a mic, this lineup doesn't do her any justice. And to make matters worse, U.N.I.T.Y is edited. Most of the tracks are from "Black Reign," which I do think is her best album. But still her debut album, "All Hail the Queen" should've got more acknowledgement than just one track, especially when it came out during a time when females HAD to have mic skills to compete with the men (during 80's Golden Age, you had to be tight.) For every true old school QL fan, the best albums to get are Black Reign & All Hail the Queen. Nature of a Sister & Order in the Court are good as well, but not as great. Nonetheless, this album is definitely NOT the BEST of Queen Latifah.

This cd is a decent collection of Queen Latifah's past hits. My main problem : The censoring. While I can understand the censoring on "R.O.U.G.H" And "

, The censoring on

is just plain wrong. Now, I can understand why some people would find the words "B!+(#" and "#o" wrong, the purpose behind the use of the words on the song have a stong message behind it : Women shouldn't tolerate name calling. Censoring

defeats the whole purpose of the song. The version on this cd is a remix and the new instrumental track to the song is pretty much the only plus to it. While this is a decent collection, it needs improvement

While the selection of songs is good, it does need more songs added. A couple of songs from the first two albums should have made it and the singles from the Sunset Park and NJ Drive soundtracks are some of her best work.
