Rapmasters: From Tha Priority Vaults, Vol. 3

Rapmasters: From Tha Priority Vaults, Vol. 3 is the third of an eight volume budget Compilation series released on October 24, 1996 by Priority Records. Unlike the first two volumes, This volume [and the following volume] was issued in a fully uncut explicit version [as well as an edited version].

Critical response
Leo Stanley of Allmusic wrote: Rapmasters, Vol. 3 is an adequate collection of hardcore rap, featuring cuts by EPMD ("Get the Bozack"), Ice Cube ("Givin' Up the Nappy Dug-Out"), NWA ("3 the Hard Way"), WC and the Madd Circle ("Dress Code"), 415 ("Nu Niggaz on the Blokkk") and Ice-T ("I Ain't New Ta This"). Though many of these weren't even hits, it's still a good hardcore sampler for casual fans, even though it was thrown together haphazardly.
