Content

Mass Appeal: Best of Gang Starr differs from the group's first greatest hits compilation, Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr , because it contains a bonus disc of music videos and tracks from the group's sixth studio album, The Ownerz . The limited-edition version of this album contains two bonus tracks on the first disc and a bonus disc with 11 music videos in DVD format. The tracks on disc one are not arranged in chronological order but are taken from every Gang Starr album released up until their breakup. The music videos are arranged in chronological order and taken from all Gang Starr albums excluding No More Mr. Nice Guy and One of the Best Yet . There are no previously unreleased tracks on Mass Appeal, but there are two bonus tracks which previously appeared on the Japanese version of The Ownerz .
