This is an amazing cd. Its got all the great geto boy tracks from over the years. Its got a good combination of old school and new school tracks by the geto boys. Its well worth the money. And if the cd wasn't good enough you also get a dvd with it that includes all the geto boy videos and loads of concert footage. Its a must but for any true rap fans.

If you thought OutKast were the best South Coast group, wait till you hear Geto Boys! Geto Boys are, without a doubt, the best South Coast album ever and one of the best rap groups ever to be made. Originally formed in 1989, they didn't release an album until 1990 with 'MAKING TROUBLE'. From then on, Geto Boys have been releasing classic albums, like their 3 most anticipated ones- WE CAN'T BE STOPPED, GRIP IT ON THAT OTHER LEVEL and GETO BOYS. Their 'GREATEST HITS' is a collection of their many classics that the duo have done throughout the years. Though experiencing hard and rough times, the boys managed to get through it and still create some of rap's finest songs today. I don't know many South Coast artists, I only enjoy Geto Boys and OutKast music from the southside but the Geto Boys have really put the south on the map. I love this album to bits because it brings back such great memories I had. With their #1 classic MIND PLAYIN' TRICKS, their introduction to SCARFACE, the dark CHUCKIE, the incredible song that I reckon was a rap classic 'DAMN IT FEELS GOOD 2 BE A GANGSTA', mad song called LET A HOE BE A HOE, outstanding WORLD IS A GETO to loved by the many, CROOKED OFFICER, you will never get sick of this.

Instead of buying crap from wannabe rappers like Nelly, get this. It's DEFINATELY well worth your money and is the perfect choice if you've just become a rap fan.

After a dozen or so years in the rap game, Rap-A-Lot releases some of the finer songs the Geto Boys have put out on 1 album. With 16 songs, you get some of their finer moments all on 1 album, and I think they probably could have put together a 2 disc hits album and still made it a 4.5 or 5 star album. Of the 16 songs, you get the lead man, Scarface, on 13 of the 16, Bushwick Bill is on 10, Willie D is on 8, and Big Mike is on 3 (he was only in the group for a short period of time when Willie D left, then came back a few years later). Of the 16 songs, 1 is a classic, 2 are ok, and the other 13 are good or real good songs. Production is great and no credits are given but mostly handled by Mike Dean, N.O. Joe, and John Bido. A must have album from one of raps greatest groups, if you don't have all the other albums.
