Greatest Hits
2Pac
Greatest Hits is a double‑disc compilation of 2Pac’s most significant work, originally released on November 24, 1998 by Death Row Records and Interscope, two years after his death. Spanning material from 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, Thug Life: Volume 1, Me Against the World, All Eyez On Me, The Don Killuminati (as Makaveli), and key singles like “How Do You Want It,” it runs 25 tracks over nearly two hours and is often recommended as the best entry point for listeners new to 2Pac. It became one of the best‑selling rap compilations ever, eventually certified multi‑platinum in the US, and has remained in print through various reissues, including a 4LP vinyl set.
The set balances commercial hits with socially conscious and emotionally resonant deep cuts. Disc One moves from “Keep Ya Head Up,” “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” and “Temptations” through “Hail Mary,” “Me Against the World,” “How Do U Want It,” and “Life Goes On,” capturing the mix of empathy, swagger, paranoia, and vulnerability that defined his mid‑1990s peak. Disc Two highlights earlier and later material—“Brenda’s Got a Baby,” “Trapped,” “I Get Around,” “California Love (Original Version),” “Picture Me Rollin’,” “How Long Will They Mourn Me?,” “Toss It Up,” “Dear Mama,” “To Live & Die in L.A.,” and “Heartz of Men”—presenting a chronological arc from raw, politically charged beginnings to smoother, G‑funk‑driven outlaw anthems.
