A rap legend

"The first Spice 1 "Hits" seemed to leave out some of Spice's best songs to date. Luckily, Vol.2 manages to include most of Spice's best work to date. For some reason, Spice left out the 3 best tracks from "AmeriKKKa's Nightmare" on the first Hits cd, but they're all here- "Strap on the Side", "Doncha Runaway", and the classic "Face of a Desperate Man". Another reason to buy this album is the hard to find "I Got 5 On it" Remix, featuring the Bay area's finest- Spice, E-40, Luniz, Richie Rich, Dru Down, and Digital Underground. I don't know of any other CD with this track on it, although I've heard that it was on some BET anniversary album. The high point of the CD comes on track 8, "Dusted & Disgusted", which is from E-40's CD "In a Major Way". On this track, E-40, Spice 1, Mac Mall, and 2Pac spin off of each other in what was one of the best rap songs of the 90's. In the end, Spice would have been better served to only put out 1 Greatest Hits Cd- some of the tracks, on both CDs, are far from being great. But the "Hits Vol. 2" is still a good purchase for any rap fan, and it's better than the 1st Spice "Hits" cd."
