A greatest hits album, sometimes called a "best of" album or a catalog album, is a compilation of songs by a particular artist or band. Most often the track list contains previously released recordings with a high degree of notability. However, to increase the appeal, especially to people who already own the original release, it is common to include remixes and/or alternate takes of popular songs; even new material (previously unreleased). At times a greatest hits compilation is the original release for songs that have themselves been released as a single and charted successfully.
Madonna's The Immaculate Collection is the best selling greatest hits compilation by a solo artist; all of the songs on it are presented in different versions than the original hit versions. The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) is the best selling greatest hits compilation by a group and also one of the ten best selling albums in history. Greatest hits albums are typically produced after an artist has had enough successful songs to fill out an album release. Some artists, such as Mariah Carey, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Kenny Rogers, Aerosmith, Kiss, U2, Dolly Parton, Journey, Los Tigres del Norte, Queen, Kylie Minogue and Billy Joel, have released multiple greatest hits albums through their long careers. Some greatest hits albums are released only at the end of the artist or group's career. For example, My Chemical Romance released a greatest hits album after they disbanded. Other artists, like Eminem have released hits albums in the center of their success. He released Curtain Call: The Hits in 2005 and then Shady XV as a compilation album in 2014.
Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (born September 18, 1974), better known by his alias Xzibit (pronounced "exhibit"), is an American rapper, actor, television host and record producer. He is known as the host of the MTV show Pimp My Ride, which brought him mainstream success. Before hosting the show, he achieved fame in the West Coast hip-hop scene as a rapper, debuting with his acclaimed At the Speed of Life and gathering chart success with his follow-up albums Restless, Man vs. Machine and Weapons of Mass Destruction, working with high-profile artists such as Eminem, Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Knoc-turn'al, Timbaland, Limp Bizkit, Alice Cooper, Game, 50 Cent and Within Temptation, as well as being one of the first rappers to work internationally, collaborating with overseas acts such as Russian rapper Timati, Raptile from Germany, Bliss N Eso from Australia and Adil Omar from Pakistan.
Born as Alvin Nathaniel Joiner on September 18, 1974 in Detroit, Michigan, Xzibit grew up with a single mother. His father left the family early to pursue a career as a preacher, forcing his mother to raise a young Alvin and his four siblings (an older sister and brother as well as a little brother and younger sister) alone. After her death he had to move in with his father. His father remarried and relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Joiner lived in Albuquerque from age 10 to 17, and began writing rhymes. However, he had numerous run-ins with the law and ultimately ended up moving to California to live with his sister. It was here where he first began to rap and pursue a music career. He later reconciled with his father, who can be heard on his second studio album.
Xzibit o X To The Z, all'anagrafe Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (Detroit, 18 settembre 1974) è un rapper, attore e personaggio televisivo statunitense, conosciuto anche per la trasmissione di MTV Pimp My Ride. Napalm, risulta un album godibile, pur non eccelso. La carica di X è rimasta immutata, come se i sei anni passati lontano dai microfoni dall' ultimo lavoro ''Full circle'' fossero passati in un lampo, scrostando l'inevitabile ruggine. Fin dalla track iniziale, State of Hip Hop vs. Xzibit, si scorge immediatamente l'energia che l'artista cerca di trasmettere. Curioso l'esperimento pseudo rock della traccia che dà il titolo all'album, un singolo potente che risveglia l'attenzione per il progetto. X si districa abilmente tra testi più autocelebrativi (Everything o Gangsta Gangsta) ad altri più...

My world, your world, angry, happy
Downward spiral, system breakdown
Nauseous, panic, bring on havoc
So reach out with patience
And hold me while I hold you
I can't solve your problems today, oh no
But you can lean on me now
Distance grows fonder, sincere I wonder
Lover or ally, cleanse me, don't try
Torture, cave in, bruise me 'til I say when
'Cuz I've got no patience
So hold me while I hold you
I can't solve your problems today, oh no
But you can lean on me now
I can't solve your problems today, oh no
But you can lean on me now
I don't ever wanna see you cry no more, no more
I don't ever wanna see you cry no more, no more
I don't ever wanna see you cry no more, no more
I don't ever wanna see you cry no more, no more
No more, no more
(See you cry no more)
No more, no more
(See you cry no more)
I can't solve your problems today, oh no
But you can lean on me now
I can't solve your problems today, oh no
But you can lean on me now
