The Source Hip Hop Music Awards 1999 is a music compilation album contributed by The Source magazine. Released on August 17 and distributed by Def Jam Recordings, [2] Hip Hop Music Awards 1999 is the first annual album produced by the magazine to focus on its nominees of the now-defunct award show, owing to the success of its Hip Hop Hits series. It features eighteen hip hop hits. It went to number 53 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and peaked at number 45 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Three songs reached the number one position on the Hot Rap Tracks chart: "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)," "It Ain't My Fault, Part 2" and "Superthug". The original, unedited version of Eminem's "My Name Is" was accidentally included.
