Quite easily, actually. Resurrection is the soundtrack to the movie of the same name, so it does not feature slapped together re-mixes with producers that flaunt below-average beat portfolios. The album does have its share of sketchy moments, starting with the five-second 'Intro,' which has Tupac mumbling '…now this is the next level with this new album.' The idea of stitching together castaway Tupac vocal snippets is nothing new to his estate, and this collection contains four previously unreleased tracks, two amply re-tooled by Eminem ('Ghost,' 'One Day ...

He also named Hyphy, the San Francisco Bay Area movement Rolling Stone has anointed as the 'hot new scene.' With each of his most recent seven albums having reached the R&B/Hip-Hop Top 10, the acclaimed platinum-selling rapmaster now teams with executive producer Lil Jon for My Ghetto Report Card-and Hyphy goes to the head of the class. :Riding on the popularity of the song/video 'Tell Me When To Go,' E-40's latest album also doubles as an introduction of the Bay Area's burgeoning 'Hyphy' movement to a national ...
Buy Now	Stomp the Yard (more) »rank: 11006 by: Original Soundtrack :Album Description:'Stepping,' or 'step-dancing,' is a high-energy, wildly entertaining African-American dance style that's been blazing across traditionally black fraternities and sororities for decades. STOMP THE YARD is a film featuring acclaimed singers NE-YO and CHRIS BROWN that pivots on a national stepping competition. Rivalry and brotherhood drive the action, but music is what makes this story move. That music is captured on STOMP THE YARD: ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK. The disc boasts music not only from NE-YO ('Sign Me Up') and Chris Brown ('Poppin''), but also THE ROOTS FEATURING MALIK B. AND PORN ('In the Music'); GHOSTFACE KILLAH ('The Champ'); ROBERT RANDOLPH AND ...	Buy Now	Quality Control (more) »rank: 15782 by: Jurassic 5 : 's Best of 2000:The thrill of invention never stops on this first full-length album from Jurassic 5. Coming out of L.A.'s kinetic hip-hop underground, the multitalented combo whips up an irresistible flow of charisma and keeps the fun at a high-voltage level. J5 can pivot on a dime from one style to the next--street-corner barbershop, turntable friction, or kick-ass swing. But the constant focus is on the essentials of the art: Quality Control fuses fantastic wordplay and MC skills with a killer grab bag of beats. It's the achievement of J5 to look back in a way so fresh it shines a light ...
Buy Now	No One Can Do It Better (more) »rank: 62589 by: The D.O.C. : :Long before Snoop Dogg, Eminem, or Xzibit came into the picture, Dr. Dre had already found the perfect MC in the D.O.C., a Texas transplant to Los Angeles. Before he tragically lost his vocal chords in an auto accident, the D.O.C. was easily one of the fiercest lyricists that the West Coast had ever witnessed--a combination of Ice Cube's scowling aggressiveness but balanced with a sophistication that would have rivaled KRS-One at his best. With a ragga-tinged flow, he could drop lyrical bombs with fury on 'It's Funky Enough' or sublimely style for 'The Formula.' Dre supported the D.O.C. with a bevy of ...	Buy Now	Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. (more) »rank: 24416 by: 2Pac : :The late Tupac Shakur's second album recalls the densely sampled sonic strengths of Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet, except here the bass lines are cranked and the sly samples tend to the gentler touches of Motown and Curtis Mayfield than James Brown. This contrast between hard and soft is appropriate because Shakur is as likely to sweetly honor black sisters ('Keep Ya Head Up') as he is to get angry in your face. Consequently, even with guest spots including the Ices Cube and T., 2Pac's strong raps remain this joint's real shining star. --David Cantwell
