Nas & Ill Will Records Presents QB's Finest, commonly known as simply QB's Finest, is a 2000 compilation album and the second release from rapper Nas' new Ill Will Records imprint, distributed by Columbia Records. It featured Nas and a number of other rappers from the Queensbridge housing projects, including Mobb Deep, Nature, Nashawn, Littles, Bravehearts and Cormega, who had briefly reconciled a longtime feud with Nas.
The album also featured guest appearances from Queensbridge's hip hop legends Roxanne Shanté, MC Shan and Marley Marl, both of whom appeared on the lead single "Da Bridge 2001" (based on MC Shan's and Marley Marl's 1986 classic "The Bridge"). "Da Bridge 2001" also featured a response from Nas to Memphis Bleek, in which Nas calls out most of the Roc-A-Fella Records roster, including Memphis Bleek, Damon Dash, Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z. The album's biggest hit single was "Oochie Wally", a club anthem recorded by the Bravehearts.
Though numbered correctly in the liner notes, the original compact disc pressing erroneously combined tracks one and two during mastering, throwing off the count for the rest of the tracks by one number (i.e., "We Live This" is track two, "Real Niggas" is track three, and so on). Later, corrected masters feature the "Oochie Wally" remix (which features Nas in addition to the Bravehearts) in place of the original.
