I never really listened to any of his stuff when he first came out.....I really like Warren G's remix of "Behind bars" though.

First off, this is one of the greatest albums ever:

Listen to it and you'll see how it was sample to death.

The two albums that followed were not all the great since he rushed to record them before going to jail.  His comeback after getting out, The Art Of Storytelling is very good.

If you want individual tracks, check out:

"La Di Da Di"
"Children's Story"
"Mona Lisa"
"The Ruler's Back"
"Sittin' In My Car"
"Street Talkin'"
"Frozen"

Hell ya.  It's no classic but a solid 8/10.  He's got some good collabos on that with Raekwon, Nas, Big Boi & more.
