Which artists Greatest Hits are looking most foward too

i think nas, jay, and x have all had unofficial GHs out; i'm waiting for official ones. D12 needs to put out 1 or 2 more cds.
i think GHs of course need to have all the singles, and also some cult favorites or underground hits. i also think that ones that include new verses or drastically changed lyrics need to be included rather than the album versions (such as "Just a moment" or "One mic", the latter which i like better than the album version). also, to get people who already have all the songs to buy it, put a few new/unreleased tracks on there, such as soundtrack, compilation, or guests appearances.
one that i think NEEDS to be included on DMX's is the dirty version of "slippin".

i don't really see the point in greatest hits albums, to be honest. i mean, its a good introduction to an artist/group if you are a new fan, but if you are a true fan of a said artist/group, then you probably already own all the material that would be on a GH compilation anyway, minus maybe a couple of unreleased or new tracks. it's just an easy way to cash in and make a few bucks.
And as for Sandeep, D12 for a GH album? would that really make sense? they only have 2 albums, neither of which sold platinum (i may be wrong on that, correct me if i am) and their success was made off of one member in the group who already had success (not a knock on D12 by the way, i own both albums). i dont thik they merit a greatest hits release anytime soon

True, but the nice thing about GH albums is for the casual fan they dont have to buy anything else of that artist. For example, I own such GH as Steve Miller Band and The Doors. And, I know that I dont really care for listening/owning every single one of their albums.
What i personally do if i think i would like an artist, is buy their GH then if i LOVE it i might look into getting a few of their regular albums. But if i dont like their GH, then obviously it stops there (and the GH goes on ebay).
