Greatest Hits is the first compilation album by American rapper Scarface. It was released on October 22, 2002 via Rap-A-Lot/Virgin Records. Composed of 17 previously released songs from his solo albums and a new song, it was produced by Scarface himself, N.O. Joe, Mike Dean, Tone Capone, John Bido, Kanye West, Leslie Brathwaite, Mr. Lee, and J Prince, who also served as executive producer. It features guest appearances from Devin the Dude, 2Pac, Beanie Sigel, Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Johnny P., Master P, Tela and Too $hort.

In the United States, the album peaked at number 40 on the Billboard 200 and number 10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Later the same year, a chopped and screwed remix version of the album was released entitled Greatest Hits Chopped Up, with slightly different track listing, edited by DJ Michael "5000" Watts.

In 2010, Rhapsody called it one of the best "coke rap" albums of all time. [4]
