What we have right here is a collection of 110 tracks from early on in Mr. You can blame DJ Scratch if you'd like (ha!). On a side note, I'm saddened to say that I didn't manage to get every instrumental from Reasonable Doubt. Rhude's mix contains a gang of exclusive Jay joints you literally will not find anywhere else. (Before the roC) mixtape which I've included here as Disc Three in this eight disc set. One previously-released compilation which I must give credit to is DJ Rhude's B.C. Shit, I've even got a song performed by Bugs Bunny off the Space Jam OST (in case you're wondering, it's because Jay-Z wrote the lyrics - I kid you not). I've got rarities, I've got b-sides, remixes, collaborations, acapellas, instrumentals, clean versions. Not to toot my own horn, but none of them compare to this right here. Now if you thought The Illmatic Archives or The Purple Archives were a goldmine, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Over the years I've seen some early Jay-Z compilations that were poorly assembled and boasted some pretty hilarious titles (does Prehistoric Hov ring a bell for anyone?). And since we've already got the album, I figured I could dig some more. Call it elitist, American golden era exceptionalism. Reasonable Doubt is and always will be my favorite Jay-Z album. The Jay-Z line I've quoted above gave me the inspiration to put this new compilation together.
