Fellowship Of The Great, The (Death Row Records Presents) [Digipak] - Various Artists

Advantages: Excellent lyrical content and interesting subject matter
Disadvantages: Poor Remixes

...Death Row was the greatest hip-hop label throughout the 1900s before the abrupt takeover of Bad Boy Entertainment after the death of lead rapper Tupac Shakur and the imprisonment of CEO Suge Knight. Over the past 6 month’s Death Row has started to re-emerge as a powerful label and the release of the greatest hits album shows their desire to retain their dominance of the hip hop mainstream scene. Death Row Greatest Hits is an album intended to remind once Death Row fans of their greatness and possibly tear them away from now dominating record labels such as So So Def and Bad Boy Entertainment. Anyone that is serious about West Coast gangster rap, I would not recommend this album to because they will probably have most if not all the songs present on it anyway.

Advantages: All of the hits
Disadvantages: Lots of the tracks are already on Death Row's other album

...& Lady Of Rage **Two Stars** This is, judging by the title, one playing on the name of their record label of 'Death Row' to produce a track about what life is like for those who know that the onl major event which will happen in their life is their inevitable death, however this is not the case. This is about all of the artist on the label giving an introdition o us about what they are all about. It isn't really one which I enjoyed because there isn't much need in having it at all because we ge to know the arist by listening to their music, we don't need to be told. 8. Day The N***** Took Over - Dr. Dre & RBX/Snoop Doggy Dogg/ Daz **Two Stars** This is one which doesn't rally stand to be one of the good ones on the album as it is one which came off a great album but it was one of the weak links then and so it isn't very...
