How you gonna have Plies and not have Kid Frost's classic "No sunshine" from the American Me soundtrack?

Kid Frost - No Sunshine
Ice T - The Tower
Nas - One Love*
Tupac - 16 on Deathrow
Beanie Sigel - What ya life like
Nas - Last words
Tupac - Traped
AZ - Fan Mail
The New York Times - "Lloyd Banks may have stealthily become the most important rapper in New York".

First one that comes to mind, there's two parts with Senim Silla and One Be Lo (known as One Man Army at the time)

Great song and gives a background to Binary Star's life before making music and may be the reason as to why they took conscious route in their music, even though they may seem preach at times.

16 on Deathrow is dope, i completely forgot about that track.

Informer - Snow

Some of you might laugh their ass off, but I bumped the shit out of this track back in the days. Probably the first song I really loved in my life.
