Review

At one point in the rap/hip-hop world, Dre was simply unstoppable. His productions would skyrocket to the top of the charts and establish a legion of new talent that owed their success to his signature sound. This Death Row-issued compilation is an obvious attempt to cash in on back catalog, but it is a fairly comprehensive look at Dre's productions while serving as ringleader of the controversial label. All of the massive chart hits are here, along with a few lesser-known ones to balance things out. It's the most comprehensive look at his productions and their evolution during this critical time in the rap world, and it's also an amazing blueprint/textbook that aspiring producers are still learning from to this day. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
