This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
This best-of set from Philadelphia’s high-flying hip-hop label is like a classic K-Tel collection: Original hits, original stars.
More or less from start to finish, this is a solid-gold set: Cypress Hill classics like How I Could Just Kill A Man and Insane In The Brain, Fugees tracks like Killing Me Softly With His Song, solo tunes from Wyclef Jean (Gone Till November) and even Lauryn Hill’s hit Doo Wop (That Thing). But along with the good, you’ve gotta take the bad: Backwards-clad teen rappers Kris Kross (Jump). If only somebody would kill them with their song — and it wouldn’t have to be softly.
