| Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files, including the video for Dr. Dre's "Nothin' But A G Thang." | | Producers include: Dr. Dre, Dat Nigga Daz, Sir Jinx, 2Pac, D.J. Quik. | | Engineers include: Tony Pizarro, Dave Aron, Tom Daugherty. | | Includes liner notes by Suge Knight. | | All tracks have been digitally remastered. | | This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. | | All tracks have been digitally remastered. | | This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. | | More than any other label, Death Row defined gangsta rap and hip-hop in the early '90s, and the double-disc Death Row Greatest Hits captures nearly all of the label's biggest hits from artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and 2Pac. Although the disc bends some rules by including cuts that weren't released on Death Row and containing an abundance of previously unreleased songs, the compilation sums up the feeling of the early and mid-'90s. A single disc would have provided more consistent thrills -- and it would have eliminated the annoying remixes on disc two -- but the sprawl is also indicative of the self-indulgence of gangsta rap, which is essential to understanding the genre. And Death Row Greatest Hits has a string of great songs -- "Let Me Ride," "What's My Name," "Gin and Juice," "Nothin' but a G Thang" (but no "California Love") -- making it an excellent summation of gangsta rap's glory days. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine | | The Death Row musical empire delivers yet another first--the first greatest-hits album by a West Coast rap label. DEATH ROW GREATEST HITS compiles the hottest tracks by a roster that includes Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg and 2Pac, three of the most important artists in hip-hop history. | | After 2Pac's death and Dr. Dre's departure from the label, fans needed to be reminded of the influence that Death Row has had on hip-hop. Two discs deep, the album mostly highlights the careers of Snoop and 2Pac, but doesn't fail to recognize the contributions of Dr. Dre, who is credited with most of the album's production. |
