| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com An indispensable and definitive collection showcasing the passionate genius of the late rapper. The album's nonchronological sequence highlights the contradictory impulses that made Tupac's music so commanding; the 21 well-loved "hits," some slightly reedited for legal reasons, are accompanied by four previously unheard songs. Of the new material, the raw-sounding "God Bless the Dead" has been the subject of the most speculation, owing to its subject matter: a eulogizing of the late Notorious B.I.G.--a mysterious feat, since Tupac was killed six months before Biggie. And, making its first proper appearance on a Tupac album, the B-side "Hit 'Em Up" stands as the most intense outburst of pure venomous rage ever captured on tape. Whether he's waxing political, philosophical, or just plain paranoid, Tupac's empathetic, charismatic style remains unmatched. --Charley Gothic

A perfect compilation July 12, 2007 2Pac's 1998 "Greatest Hits" release is a very special collection. I really think that regardless of motives and their shady business practice, Death Row did an especially good job chronicling the career of one of hip hop's greatest characters. It was smart to make it a two-disc set, because to accurately cover his greatest hits, I think that's what was needed. This album really covers all the bases. All of the albums released during his lifetime are accurately represented, and you also get a taste of a few of his side projects like Thug Life and some previously unreleased tracks. Over 25 songs, a new listener can get a great taste of really what an incredible artist Tupac Shakur was. They can see the sociopolitical advocacy of his early recordings, the spirituality of some of his later ones, and the chilling way he philosophized about life and death. In between, there are some of his most appealing singles, well-produced club tracks, and west coast anthems from the 1990s. I think Death Row really did a nice job here, and this is the purchase to make for a casual fan or a new listener, because it could definitely get you interested and knowledgeable enough to make more purchases. I highly recommend 2Pac's "Greatest Hits" package.
2pac-Greatest Hits Edited January 18, 2007 Bought this version for my pre-teen. Although mostly edited, a few words were left on by mistake. Consider this when purchasing.
Classic August 13, 2004 As many of you may know, 2Pac is one of the best MC's/rappers of all time. Not only is he true and comes from the streets and knows the struggle, but his lyrics are filled with the truth and it can give me a good perception of his life. About this cd, the songs are just great and they simply as a collection capture what 2Pac was about and the mark he made on the rap industry and he won't be forgotten.

IF u dont have this ur wack July 16, 2003 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
this album portrays the greatest rapper or artists songs. If you look through any tupac album review you will notice no one gives it lower then a 4. And most give it a five. If you see any one give it a 3,2,1 it just means theyre wack. So what we are witnessing when we listen to this album is the best of the best. This album makes any other rap artist ( with the exception of big pun, biggie small, big L, KRS-1, DMX)look like a pop star. THere isnt a weak track in this whole album. I couldnt pick a favourite song. All the hits of the tupac are in here you would be wack not to buy this album. I did the review for the edited album just to show that any infant who wants to listen to this album will greatly appreciate it. It has positive songs such as: keep your head up, dear mama, unconditional love, life goes on, to live and die in L.A. An also its negative songs with hitemup standing out. I think there are other great songs that should be put in this album such as wonder if heaven got a ghetto, friends, my block (remix) but the fact is you cannot fit all his greatest hits into one album. This guy IS the rap game.
