Rapmasters: From Tha Priority Vaults, Vol. 5 is the fifth volume of an eight volume budget compilation series released by Priority Records throughout 1996 and 1997. Unlike the previous two volumes, there is no fully uncut explicit version available and this and the remaining three volumes [as well as the first two volumes] are only available in mostly censored edited versions. The version of Brotha Lynch Hung's R.I.P. (Also known as Rest In Piss) that appears here is not the same version that is found on Season of da Siccness but is rather the clean remixed and re-recorded version that would also appear on a couple of Brotha Lynch's best of collections and on The Best Of Black Market Records. Also, This volume is the only volume that doesn't feature Ice Cube (Whether as a solo artist or as an N.W.A member).
