Greatest Hits is a compilation album by rapper Nas released through Columbia Records on November 6 2007. It features twelve of Nas' singles from his Columbia releases from Illmatic to Street's Disciple and two new tracks. Nas' 2006 studio album Hip Hop Is Dead was overlooked because it was released by Def Jam and not Columbia. Nastradamus and The Lost Tapes were also left out. The collaboration made with Cee-Lo for the Rush Hour 3 soundtrack is also included on the album.

  • Greatest Hits is a compilation album by rapper Nas released through Columbia Records on November 6 2007. It features twelve of Nas' singles from his Columbia releases from Illmatic to Street's Disciple and two new tracks. Nas' 2006 studio album Hip Hop Is Dead was overlooked because it was released by Def Jam and not Columbia. Nastradamus and The Lost Tapes were also left out. The collaboration made with Cee-Lo for the Rush Hour 3 soundtrack is also included on the album. Greatest Hits debuted at #124 on the Billboard 200, selling about 6,800 copies, and #20 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. As of August 2008 the compilation has sold over 20,000 copies in the U.S. The cover features lyrics from his hit single "If I Ruled the World which appears on the compilation. Many of Nas' fans were disappointed with the tracklisting because it didn't feature some of Nas' greatest songs like "Ether", "The World Is Yours", "I Gave You Power", "Just a Moment", "Affirmative Action", "The Message", the original version of "Street Dreams" and even Nas' famous record debut "Live at the BBQ". Early tracklistings of the compilation included "Oochie Wally" as track 13 but "I Can" made the cut instead. (en)

  • The Best of Nas ist ein Japan-Import von Nas größten Hits aus dem Zeitraum von 1994 bis 1999. Es sind Songs von seinen ersten vier Alben Illmatic, It Was Written, I Am… und Nastradamus enthalten, sowie einige B-Seiten wie "Life's A Bitch ". Die ersten acht Tracks sind alle aus dem Jahr 1994. Die Remixe dazu stammen auch alle von damals und wurden wenige Monate nach Veröffentlichung von Illmatic von Q-Tip und Large Professor gemixt, da die normalen Album Versionen nicht in ihrer ursprünglichen Form im Fernsehen gesendet wurden. Auf dem "One Love (LG Main Remix)" und "Life's A Bitch " wollte Nas den beiden Queensbridge Bewohnern Def Jef und Ken Staton bei ihrer musikalischen Karriere verhelfen und ließ dazu den Remix produzieren und Ken Staton eine Hook singen. Die restlichen zehn Tracks sind alle in ihrer Grundversion geblieben. Es fehlen viele wichtige Songs, wie z.B. "N.Y. State of Mind" und "Memory Lane" weil dafür einfach kein Platz mehr auf der CD zur Verfügung stand. (de)
