Comment:

There are far too many radio dial regulars in the following Deep Cuts to classify them as mere fan favorites, from total Top 40 touchstones like "Big Poppa," "Regulate," and "All About the Benjamins" to singles that are caught in a comfortable spot between the mainstream and underground. We're talkin' two crucial [i]Illmatic[/i] cuts (check Jay-Z's own "The City Is Mine" for a reminder of Nas' public feud with Jigga Man); the slam poetry and simple, speaker-rattling loops of "Mass Appeal"; and the continued crossover campaign of OutKast, the soul, funk, and rock-inspired hip-hop duo that's been on their own plane since the beginning.
