Nas PLAYLIST: THE VERY BEST OF NAS [EXPLICIT

Liner Note Author: Andre Torres.
Both Playlist: The Very Best of Nas and Columbia's 2007 compilation Greatest Hits contain 14 songs each, 10 of which overlap. This is an improvement, as it contains "Halftime" and "The World Is Yours," both of which were inexplicably left off Greatest Hits. Beyond that, the differences are insignificant for the casual fan. This contains one to four cuts from each of Nas' seven proper Columbia albums, from 1994's Illmatic through 2004's Street's Disciple, with the debut appropriately the most heavily represented. All seven of the MC's Top 20 R&B/Hip-Hop singles are here, along with other representative cuts. ~ Andy Kellman
