I’ll download. RAL is too shady to actually support most of the time.
Drake, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, that should really reflect the Rap-A-Lot legacy..
Why are they bringing on a bunch of faggots to cover hardcore music? Fans of those faggots obviously don’t like hardcore music anyway because they listen to those exact faggots therefore negating and possible chance of getting said fans to be interested in Rap A Lot’s extensive catalog. Strange…and it makes me not want to buy this because I sure as shit don’t want to support faggot music…I’m sure willy D will be psyched to hear faggot drake cover “I’m not a motherfuckin’ Gentleman…”
wtf is this. this not a good representation of what rap-a-lot stands for. wayne, drake, ross c’mon jeezy was’nt even on ral. scarface should smack the shit out of j. prince for this
J. Prince Promotions handles Cash Money/Young Money artist.
Drake bought J. Prince Jr. a 100k car!!!!!
this is a disgrace
SMH
FIRST OFF BUN B IS KING BUT RAP-A-LOT IS TRASH J PRINCE NEEDS TO GIVE IT YOU TAKE PIMP C MUSIC AND PLAY IT OUT THEN WONT PAY HIS WIFE YOU DONT HAVE ANYBODY WORTH A SHIT ON YOUR LABEL EXCEPT BUN B AND Z-RO AND MAYBE JUVENILE BUT NO NEW ACTS AND ALWAYS SUCKING CASH MONEY DICK AND NOW YOUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM AND YOU PUT A BUNCH OF LAME ASS PEOPLE WHO HAD BARLEY ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR COMPANY SUCCESS I WONT EVEN DOWNLOAD THIS SHIT CALL ME WHEN BUN B NEW ALBUM IS HERE
Typical RAL. Instead or re-releasing & remastering their massive catalog they decide to put out some half hearted nonsense. Poppa LQ, Mad CJ Mac, Seagram, 3-2 are some artists who has albums that needs to be put back in print.
since when is 2 discs and a dvd a “box set”? smdh.
my bad, 3 discs. my mind must’ve blocked out that list of rappers covering the old songs for my own sanity

What J-prince (Lil J for the true Heads) needed to do was reissue some underrated
classics from his RAL catolog. Imagine:
1. Willie Dee-Controversy
2. Too Much Trouble-Bringin Hell on Earth
3. Choice-The Payback
4.Gangsta Nip-South Park Psycho
5. 5th Ward Boys-Ghetto Dope
6. 2 Low-Funky Lil Nigga
7. Odd Squad-FADANUFAERRBODY
8. The Convicts
9. The Terrorists
10.Big Mello-Bone Hard Niggaz
Back on the market again??? Shiit, nigga!!
That’s a box set to treasure forever!
any co-signs?
Mo$t Definitely CO$IGN!!! TMT – (Too Much trouble) Player Choice ’93 CLASSIC SH!T
cosign
controversy was an incredible album. Their back catalog should be re-released, with bonus cuts, and whatever music video(s) that go with the album. Now that Rap-A Lot deals with Warner/Asylum for distribution, they shouldn’t run into the censorship problem that they had years ago with Geffen..
Damn man! U bringin’ back memories! Choice was the original Lil Kim, TMT was the shit to me back in the day, The Convicts (Big Mike & 3-2) is straight up classic Texas gangsta music. I see what Snoop and Dre stole from them. 5th Ward Boyz STILL gets played in the ride. Young niggaz always ask “Damn that shit is tight, who is that?” RIP Big Mello and Seagram. Like someone said, I’m surprised no Yukmouth songs were on there.
J. Prince Promotions handles Cash Money/Young Money artist.
Drake bought J. Prince Jr. a 100k car!!!!!.
J Prince Jr.’s dad couldn’t have bought the car? Just sayin’..
I hope that Drake doesn’t get caught up in any crazy stuff; he likes giving his middle-class credentials in interviews, but then he’s also rolling with all the self-proclaimed gangsta-thug/tru-killa crews.. Stay in your emo lane, drake, no need to catch gun/drug cases on a recurring basis like these other guys..
3. Mr. Scarface feat. Rick Ross
Only track i won’t listen to but some of the rest looks real good
Why are they bringing on a bunch of faggots to cover hardcore music? Fans of those faggots obviously don’t like hardcore music anyway because they listen to those exact faggots therefore negating and possible chance of getting said fans to be interested in Rap A Lot’s extensive catalog.

FACEMOB!!!
I bought this box set and it is really good to have in my archives…I have all the hits and I have the hits re-made by the hottest artists out right now with their own spin. I also love the re-make of the song Payback by the new artist..its all smokin’ hot to me.
U sound like J.Prince yourself
WOW PRINCE REALLY DIDN”T THROW YUKMOUTH ON THERE? THE UNITED GHETTOS AND THUGLORD ALBUMS WERE THOSE PICK ME UPS HIPHOP IS DEAD DEF JAM CAN”T PUSH RED,METH or TODD SMITH this shit is ass
so it is going to be re-released on december 26th?
everybody knows j prince has got the unleaked freestyle of FACE and PAC 7 mins or some shit -homies and thugs has got a 1.30 of it
to much wack rappers like: boosie, webbie, young fuck, T.I. the snitch and other wack faggots from the south.
i wanna see some old geto boys shit and scarface shit.
