{"product_id":"ryde-or-die-compilation-volume-1","title":"Ryde Or Die Compilation Volume 1","description":"Amazon.com\n\nFollowing in the hip-hop tradition of Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, Dr. Dre, and the entire No Limit roster, DMX has used his nascent stardom to give something back to his crew, the Ruff Ryders. Ostensibly a showcase for the Lox and the unknowns of the family (Drag-On, Eve, Parle, Cross, and Infra-Red), Ryde or Die works even better as a calling card for producer Swizz Beatz, who gets plenty of shout-outs on the Cuban-flavored \"What Ya Want\" and DMX's \"Bugout.\" Swizz keeps the album bouncing with funky sounds and makes sure all the rappers--even the normally mush-mouthed Juvenile, just one of the plethora of guest stars (including Mase, Jermaine Dupri, Big Pun, and Jay-Z) here--sound crystal clear. There are a few tracks that don't make the cut at all--Parle's limp R\u0026amp;B anthem \"I'm a Ruff Ryder\" is the worst offender--and no breakout classics, but the tracks here are consistently fun to listen to. --Randy Silver\n\nProduct description\n\nRuff Ryders ~ Vol. 1-Ryde Or Die\n\nReview\n\nWhile most of the featured artists have superior skills, it's the sonic handiwork of super-producer Swizz Beatz ... that commands the most attention. -- Vibe\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000IFNQ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00000IFNQ.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ruff Ryders\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
