Greatest Hits is the second compilation album by American hip hop group Run-D.M.C. It was released on September 10, 2002 by Arista Records. While it was argued that hits such as "The Ave.", "Pause" and "Ooh, What'cha Gonna Do?" should have found a place in this release, Run speculated during a Marie Claire interview in 2003 that the album was simply showcasing the group's better known earlier work:

   "I want kids to pick up this album and go '..So that's what hip hop sounded like in 1984, cool'. It's not because I dislike any of those [later] records."

After Jam Master Jay's death, the group retired - however for not meeting their contractual obligations with Arista Records, this left Run-D.M.C.'s entire catalog open for exploitation. Since the release of this record, Arista Records has released several other greatest hits albums of Run-D.M.C.'s material.

Fans consider this release as the 'official' greatest hits collection, because it was the last official Run-D.M.C. release before the death of Jam Master Jay.
