From the title of this review, I guess you understand what I am trying to say. The lyrics to this album were made in 96, it was released in 2003 and has gone platinum multiple time. 2Pac was a head of his time.
This is a updated verison of the review as i recieved complaints about my old one as it lacked information.
A little bit about 2Pac-
"Tupac had a troubled child hood and was moved from city to city, he never had a stable up bringing and his mum was addicted to crack. He managed to survive through this period of his life.
In 94 he was shot 5 times on his way to a recording studio. He survived this and then went to jail.
On his release through jail (Parole), he signed to deathrow records. In September 96, he was shot twice and died 7 days later in hospital.
He was a respected artist and has release more albums after he died than when he was actually breathing."
The lyrics are amazing. It never ceases to amaze me how this one person can produce so many songs and never produce a bad one. This album is a prime example of how 2Pac Shakur is the best rapper who has ever lived.
I guess that you already own most of 2Pac's albums, so you are probably thinking why do I want another one? Well this is just as good if not better than his other ones. It's a double CD so it means you get allot of songs for your money and its not a usual double CD where 3/4 of the songs are rubbish. All the songs on this album are good.
The one song which I believe is not as good is the others and that is better dayz as it seems that 2Pac got as bit lazy when doing the chorus as he only says better dayz twice and then starts a new verse (Well that lazy in my terms but ill let him off this time)
The song quality is very good, it has obviously been re mastered and the beats are not the original ones, I believe that this was done so that it would have more commercial success which is understandable.
It’s an Amuru release and not a Deathrow release, which could upset some people but not me as long as these songs get released.
Expect more albums to get released soon as I have heard that Deathrow are going to drop a new album in a few months.
The track list is as follows ( I have put a * next to the best songs on the album):
CD #1 1. Intro 2. Still Ballin (featuring Trick Daddy) 3. When We Rid on Our Enemies * 4. Changed Man (featuring Jazze Pha) * 5. Fuck Em All (featuring the Outlawz) * 6. Never B Peace (featuring EDI & Kastro) 7. Mamas Just a Little Girl ** 8. Street Fame * 9. Whatcha Gonna Do (featuring Kastro & Young Noble) 10. Fair Xchange Jazze Pha remix (featuring *Jazze Pha) 11. Late Night (from chronic 2000 Still Smokin) 12. Ghetto Star (featuring Nuttso) * 13. Thugz Mansion-acoustic (NAS) *
CD #2 1. My Block-remix * 2. Thugz Mansion (featuring Anthony Hamilton) * 3. Never Call u Bitch Again (featuring Tyrese) * 4. Better Dayz (featuring Mr. Biggs) 5. U Can Call (featuring Jazze Pha) 6. Military Minds (from the One Nation Album, featuring CoCo Brothers) * 7. Fame (featuring Outlawz) * 8. Fair Xchange-remix (featuring Mya) * 9. Catchin Feelins (featuring Young Noble) * 10. There U Go (featuring Outlawz & Big Syke) * 11. This Life I Lead (featuring Outlawz) * 12. Who Do U Believe In (from the Chronic 2000 Still Smokin, featuring Kadafi) 13. They Don't Give a Fuck About Us (featuring Outlawz) * Outro
If you listen the outro, you might be shocked by what you hear. Im not going to spoil it for you but if you buy the album you will find out what I mean.
Anyway if you want more information, leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sorry about the low rating, but I've not heard any 2pac and I don't feel I know anything about him or his music after reading your review. You might find it helpful to read some music reviews to get an idea of the sort of thing that will get you better ratings - Soho_Black and Andy_Mack both write very good ops in this category. Let me know if you decide to edit; leave a message in my guest book and I'll gladly take another look for you. Don't worry - my first reviews weren't very good, but you'll soon get the hang of it. All the best - Cate
