...the lack of love for D'Angelo's Brown Sugar. It's not rap by any definition, but it sure is good. As for Ice-T, I'd maintain that OG (1991) is his best album all the way through, although Power has the better moments. I think he's now rather underrated, which is due to a) his TV career and b) the fact that his rapping style seems ever further from what rap has become. Finally, can I suggest that this compliation has strange lack of Tone Loc? - Mark M
