Mass Appeal: Best of Gang Starr is a greatest hits album by hip hop duo Gang Starr released by Virgin Strategic Marketing on December 26, 2006. It is the first release after the group's departure from Virgin and is named after the popular Gang Starr song, "Mass Appeal" which is one of the eighteen tracks on this album. The limited edition version of this album contains two bonus tracks on the first disc and a bonus disc with 11 music videos in DVD format. The music videos range are taken from all Gang Starr albums excluding No More Mr. Nice Guy and are arranged in chronological order. The tracks on disc one are not arranged in chronological order, but are taken from every Gang Starr album. Mass Appeal: Best of Gang Starr differs from Gang Starr's first greatest hits compilation, Full Clip: A Decade of Gang Starr, because it contains a bonus disc of music videos and it contains tracks from The Ownerz. Also, there are no previously unreleased tracks on Mass Appeal excluding the two bonus tracks.
