Bootlegs & B-sides is a compilation studio album by American recording artist Ice Cube released on November 22, 1994, via Priority Records. It is a collection of b-sides and remixes compiled from various 12-inches, originally recorded between 1992 and 1994. It includes the remix of the hit single "Check Yo Self", originally on The Predator album, and its b-side "24 Wit' An L". Production-wise, much of the album is very similar to the Lethal Injection album.

"D'Voidofpopniggafiedmegamix" is a mix of several tracks taken from Ice Cube's first four albums. The title may be a reference to D'voidoffunk from the P-Funk mythology.

Many of the song versions were later included on later remastered proper Ice Cube albums.
