Comment "Normally the resurrected verses are not my thing," said
Lil' Shawn, Shade 45's music director, "but Clinton Sparks pieced
together 'Suicidal Thoughts' and an old Bob Marley track and made a
classic from a classic."
The playlist also features two tracks from 50: "Hustler's Ambition"
and "Window Shopper," of which Shawn notes "You can't deny 50,
especially when he's goin' at his so-called competition. 'Ja you a
window shopper.'"
Kanye makes an appearance with "Gone," featuring Cam'ron and
Consequence, a track that Shawn calls "crazy from the sample, the
beat and the verses."
Also featured on the playlist are tracks by Ghostface Killah, Smif N
Wessun, Slum Village and Dilated Peoples.
