De La Soul - Stakes Is High Era Rarities (1996-1998)

As far as I'm concerned, 1996-1998 is the best era for De La non-album cuts. There are upwards of 20 tracks on this two volume set that I thoroughly enjoy. My favorites include the Jay Dee and UK remixes for "Stakes Is High", the Native Tongue posse cut "How Ya Want It We Got It", the remixes for "The Bizness" and "The Love Song", the Rob-O track "Stay Away", and their collaboration with DJ Honda on "Trouble In The Water".
