Full review

First of all, this album is definately worth buying as long as you DON'T already own the 2 disc "Greatest Hits" album.

If you already own that album, there is only one track on here that is previously unreleased and so you would be better advised to avoid this.

Assuming you don't own the Greatest Hits already, this is a really great CD showing the diversity of 2Pac's work. 2Pac was very diverse in the topics he discusses and their styles.

The album includes examples of his early style, where he would discuss his routes a lot more. An example on this album is "Trapped", which is originally featured on his debut album "2Pacalypse Now".

We also get to experience his more sensitive side with tracks such as "I ain't mad at cha", in which Pac discusses the many friends he has lost due to the change in his life style.

Meanwhile, songs like "Changes" demonstrate 2Pac's political side and his interest in civil rights and social equality, and tracks like "All About U" show 2Pac at his most fun-loving and playful.

A really good album from perhaps the best rapper of all time.
