Unfortunately, there are also a few things, such as Snow's "Girl, I've Been Hurt" and Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There It Is)," that could have been left off, especially since artists like Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, 2Pac, and Dr. Dre are all left out (and even if the record's creators are sticking to East Coast rap, there's no reason why Public Enemy, Kool Moe Dee, and N.W.A. shouldn't be on there). Ultimate 16: Best of Hip Hop is definitely incomplete, and a misnomer at that, but, given the price and the level of pickiness/attentiveness of the consumer, it might satiate a fleeting hip-hop need. ~ Marisa Brown   Technical Info Release Date : 04/25/2006 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 11422 Label : Madacy Distribution Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00628261142224
