Title: Ice Cube - The Essentials (in stores September 16th)
Post by: woof on August 14, 2008, 08:23:24 AM: Ice Cube – The Essentials will be released on September 16 by Priority Records. This collection overlaps 2001’s Greatest Hits with only three songs, making the set worthy of pickup. This set spans 28 years and is a complementary addition for Ice Cube fans.

Yup - hence the tagline

Post by: Laconic on August 14, 2008, 05:17:41 PM: This is a Capitol/EMI album I believe. Priority folded under the Capitol umbrella.

EMI is behind Raw Footage so Cold Places and the Why We Thugs placement seem right.

Raw Footage is what I call a bullshit project. The Essentials at least has great music on it ;)
