- The O.G. collection.
It's almost as dope as 16 tracks of "Ice-T" could be. Everything here is good, and I only miss a few songs. It would be nice to have "Drama" on here, as well as "Ziplock", but thank God it has "Colors", from the movie of the same name. That is truly one of the very first "gangsta" raps. He could have thrown on a track from "Body Count", lord knows "Cop Killer" would have sold some more copies of this, but I can see why he didn't. Overall this is a great collection from the pimp himself, and if you don't get it, you better have "O.G. Original Gangster".

- At long last !!! The OG's Greatest Hits !!!!!!!!!
What can I say ,Ice T is one of the all-time greats in the rap game ,and this greatest hits retrospective is long overdue !! From early classic hits like '6 N Tha Morning' ,to genre-making cuts like 'OG' ,right up until more recent stuff,Ice shows why he is still around making hits (& headlines) today ,unlike many of his contemporaries who haven't had the staying power that he has. The compilation also includes songs from movie soundtracks,viz. 'New Jack Hustla' from the movie 'New Jack City' and the popular 'Colors' from the movie of the same name. I would definitely recommend this cd to anyone ; this will be a great listen for all Ice T / Hip-Hop fans out there ,and for the un-itiated it would be a cool introduction to one of LA's finest ! Go buy it now !!!!!!!!!!

- Ice-T's greatest hits. Should I have to say anything more?
To put it simply, Ice-T is the best MC that ever lived. To most he will always be rembered as one of the most controversial figures in music history. If you think you are a true hardcore rap fan then The Evidence is ESSENTIAL to your collection. It has all his original hits, such as "6 N The Mornin'", "Colors", "New Jack Hustler", "OG Original Gangster", the list goes on and on. My only querie in an otherwise stellar album is that Ice should have included some of his other hits, "Mind Over Matter", "Iceberg", "Lethal Weapon", "Lifestyles Of The Rich And Infamous" are some that immediately spring to mind, but other than that this greatest hits album is essentialy flawless. I recommend you buy this album whether you like hip hop or not, just to see the best of a truly remarkable artist. This is a very impressive album and one of the most important rap albums ever. Cop it now!!
- old skool west koast
i don't listen to alot of new rap but this is a cd that is timeless to me. eveything he is rapping about on the album is still happening now a days so it has a contemporary feel to it.

- ice-t at his best
This is the music that made ice-t. with all the hype about the body count stuff everybody forgot about the great rap albums that made ice-t the superstar that he is , and this cd has the best of his early works. If you like rap you have to own this cd. I grew up listening to this it is still great today. I think this is the best collection of ice-t out there. Every rap fan should have this one.
