Mr. Scarface: Greatest Hits (CD)

Scarface sold over five million records without consistent radio airplay, without a major label infrastructure, and largely without the coastal tastemaker approval that drove mainstream rap in the 1990s. He did it track by track, album by album, out of Houston's Fifth Ward, on J Prince's Rap-A-Lot Records. This 2002 compilation pulls from across his solo catalog: the cold menace of Mr. Scarface and Born Killer, the introspection of I See a Man Die, the crossover moments with 2Pac on Hand of the Dead Body and with Jay-Z on Look Into My Eyes. Kanye West produced the new track Love and Friendship. Eighteen tracks, no filler. The definitive single-disc Scarface entry point.
