Greatest Hits is a compilation album by rapper Nas, released through Columbia Records on November 6, 2007. It features twelve singles from Nas' Columbia releases, from Illmatic to Street's Disciple, along with two new tracks. Nas' 2006 studio album Hip Hop Is Dead was overlooked, as it was released by Def Jam rather than Columbia. Nastradamus and The Lost Tapes were also left out. Nas' collaboration with Cee-Lo for the Rush Hour 3 soundtrack was also included on the album. Greatest Hits debuted at number 124 on the Billboard 200, with approximately 6,800 copies sold, and number 20 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. As of August 2008, the compilation has sold over 20,000 copies in the United States.
The cover features lyrics from his hit single "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)", which appears on the compilation.
