The Essential Nas sports 30 songs from throughout his career, including the early favorites "One Love" and "The World Is Yours," the crossover hits "Street Dreams" and "Hate Me Now," and the comeback anthem "Made You Look." It's an exceptional compilation and the best Nas 101 collection on the market today.

Fourth studio album by the American rock band. 'Caravanserai' marked a major turning point in Carlos Santana's career as it was a departure from his critically acclaimed first three albums. In contrast with the earlier trademark sound fusion of salsa, rock, and jazz, the album concentrated mostly on jazz-like instrumental passages.

This single, a club and street classic almost from the moment it dropped, is exactly what he needed to reconnect with his fans and to show he could still throw down. Lyrically, it’s hardcore bragging 101, delivered with panache and numerous quotables that themselves would go on to be sampled. Key to it all, however, is that beat. Salaam Remi was no stranger to resurrections, having almost single-handedly turned The Fugees from forgettable also-rans to major-players. The beat here is deceptively simple, one of hundreds of records to chop up Incredible Bongo Band’s ‘Apache’ but doing so in a way that felt instantly fresh. Nearly 20 years later it still has the power to get a stationary crowd moving, an empty dancefloor to fill, a still head to nod.

Double vinyl LP pressing including digital download. In Concert/MTV Plugged is a 1992 concert video and 1993 live album by Bruce Springsteen. It is part of MTV's Unplugged series, recorded on September 22, 1992 at the Warner Hollywood Studios in Los Angeles near the start of Springsteen's tour for Human Touch and Lucky Town. Springsteen played one song, the previously unreleased "Red Headed Woman", solo on acoustic guitar, then he and his hired band used amplified instruments the rest of the show; hence, the concert was called MTV Plugged. The songs played on the show were relatively intense renditions, as highlighted by Springsteen's vocals and much of the instrumental accompaniment.

A very special concert experience on vinyl: "Leonard Cohen: Live In London" is the recording of his great 2008 stage comeback.

The Score showcases their acrobatic lyrical techniques and restless intelligence, and unlike much East Coast rap, The Score feels warm and intimate — partly because the instruments are live but also because the Fugees sound so relaxed and casual."
