Although it doesn't follow any chronological order and doesn't always gel musically,
Def Jam Greatest Hits is a good cross section of the pioneering hip-hop label's biggest hits, featuring such classics as
Onyx's "Slam,"
the Beastie Boys' "Brass Monkey,"
L.L. Cool J's "Around the Way Girl,"
3rd Bass's "Gas Face,"
Domino's "Getto Jam,"
Slick Rick's "Children's Story," and
Warren G's "Regulate."
