There's too many classics. You should probably do a 3 CD set. First CD should be 1992-1994, the second 1995-1997 and the last one 1998-2005.

Def Row had many artists and different vibes: r&b, rap gangsta so it'll be a hard task.
I wouldn't put much 2Pac in that best of in any case

Snoop doggy dogg - what's my name (long version preferably)
Dr Dre, Snoop - nuthin' but a g thang

These 2 jams are the foundation any way u look at it

Then there is the debate unreleased jams vs released; should your best of contain both of them
in such case u have 2nd 2 none album, Danny Boy songs (recently released) and many others.
Dj Quik (safe+sound album) could be considered Death Row aswell.

Damn, that's gonna be hard. Yes, the original version of Sam Sneed's album did leak and some of the original songs appeared on that WideAwake version.

Yeah homie I’d suggest going to Miteks YouTube page for all the unreleased gems.  Tracks like “Gin and Juice” are way too common so I wouldn’t want to make a disc for you like that.  So I will suggest a track list for you here of the most underrated Death Row cuts...

1.  “Me in Your World” Dogg Pound
2.  “Nothing But a Cavi” Dogg Pound Mack 10
3.  “Recognize” Sam Sneed
4.  “In California” Daz
5.  “Gang Bang Ass Criminals” Daz, LBC Crew
6.  “Who Got the Gangsta Shit” Dogg Pound LBC Crew
7.  “Soon As I Get Home” 2pac
8.  “One More Day” Nate Dogg
9.  “Beware of My Crew” LBC Crew
10. “The Shiznit” Snoop
11.  “Nigga Wit A Gun” Dre
12.  “Murder Was The Case” (Doggystyle album version)
13.  “I Don’t Like to Dream About Gettin Paid” Dogg Pound, Nate
14.  “Afro Puffs” Rage
15.  “Keep the Heads Ringing” Dre
16.  “Heaven Ain’t Hard to Find” 2pac
17.  “Hold Your Head” 2pac

Damn, how could I forget "Beware Of My Crew". I included that and "Just Doggin" in my last "The Best Of Death Row" mixtape i made. Death Row released too much dope shit. The original "Lady Heroin" is another song that I would definitely add to my mix and "Sho Shot" from Rage too.

Yeah, "Just Doggin" the version that is on the Sunset Park soundtrack is bangin!  That soundtrack came out right after Dre had made the announcement he was leaving Death Row.  And I was still only like 13 at that time, so I didn't know that songs were recorded like months or even years in advance of the release.  I was dumb and actually thought Nate was dissing Dre when he sung "...knew a nigga named Dr. Dre... now he's fuckin up the whole rap industry". 

Death Row did their thing on that album cause they also gave them Pac's "High Till I Die".  Can't remember off the top of my head which label that album was on but I'm curious how much they must've given Suge for such solid Death Row cuts.  That was a great album spring of 96', one of the better hip-hop albums of all time.  MC Lyte "Keep On" was a monster hit and they had good tracks from Ghostface, Mob Deep, Aliyah.

It came out on EastWest Records. It has one of the dopest Mobb Deep songs on it that isn't on any of their albums. I just bought the soundtrack not too long ago.

Yeah that was like my first exposure to Mob Deep cause I was mostly just fuccin wit Death Row and West Coast at the time.  But yeah, that joint is vintage Mob Deep
