We’ve been hinting this the last few days; and I’m glad it was released now. Perfect soundscape for my workout tonight. Mr. Peter Parker links up with Ice Cube for a mix that showcases the very best of Cube’s 20 year career. 20 fucking years people!

In the same light as Growth & Patience: Best of Royce Da 5′9″ v.1; Trackstar the DJ & The Smoking Section have got together again to release Pride & Paranoia: Best of Joe Budden for youse out there to download and put on your iPod Zune. Dumb Out, Dear Diary, Broken Wing, If I Die Tomorrow, etc. They are all here but of course there will be some disagreements from people on the final tracklist (I’m one of those people btw) but they did a pretty good job at getting together a good collection.

It looks like me and the boy Nation got more in common than just bloggin’ and writin’ as he also grabbed this over the weekend but didn’t post until tonight. Thanks for the reminder dude. DJ Ill Will, DJ Rockstar & DJ Rampage bring you the best of Drizzy. Speaking of common factors between Shake and Nation… I also agree on the fact that DJ Wristpect should still go forward in putting together his own Best Of Drake mixtape. Wristpect has crazy talent and let’s his hands do the talking. The way a real DJ should do it. No offense to Ill Will. That’s my dude. I’m just saying. Also… while I was out in L.A. I was told that Drake and his crew don’t think he has a fan base out West. I’m not even sure if dude checks the site but let him know that’s far from the truth!

As promised a few days ago, Shake & Meka will be dedicating most of the posts today to the late great Christopher Wallace. Last year, I got together with DJ Slimm to put together this best of tribute. The outcome is dope, Slimm’s a talented dude and did Biggie justice. So download, sit back and chill…

Speaking of 2pac, here are the two previously unreleased tracks that will be featured on the upcoming Best of 2pac album(s). Two discs, sold seperatly … way to milk the man for ALL that he’s worth. Dopefiend’s Diner is an interpolation of Suzanne Vega’s Tom’s Diner while Resist the Temptation is a remix (which is better than the original, a rare case in 2pac mixes).
