Greatest Hits is a double disc greatest hits album for the late rapper 2Pac, released by Death Row Records in 1998. The album's nonchronological sequence highlights 2Pac's music; the 21 popular hits, some slightly re-edited for legal reasons, are accompanied by four previously unreleased songs: "God Bless the Dead" (Dedicated to a "Biggie Smalls", thought by many to be about the late Notorious B.I.G.), "Unconditional Love", "Troublesome '96," and "Changes" which has since become one of Shakur's best known songs.
[edit] Chart performance
The album peaked at #1 for the Billboard 200 chart [1]. However, like other greatest hits albums, many of the singles were chart-toppers of their own.
According to Billboard Soundscan it has sold 9 million copies in the United States, making it one of the highest selling of its genre.
