Album Notes: An essential purchase for the hardcore Tupac Shakur fan, this deluxe box set contains a variety of informed journalistic commentary as well as interviews with the rap icon on his hardscrabble upbringing and his views on his stardom and his notoriety..
Advantages: 4CD's, 2Pac. Disadvantages: CD's should maybe be released seperately over a longer perod of time.
...I just wanted to say I can't wait for Death Row Records to release the 4CD Box set of 2Pac's remaining unreleased material under Death Row. The album entitled "Clearing Out the Vaults" is set to be released at the fall of this year, and I for one can't wait. I just hope it isn't over-priced. It's gonna be a must have for any 2Pac fan. 2Pac is the best rapper that ever lived in my opinion, and he will be for a long time. This album should hopefully compliment 2Pac. Just one thing I can't understand is that why doesn't Death Row release the CD's seperately and make alot more money out of them? This 4 CD set is good for the fans, but it has it's down sides. It means that 2Pac CD's will run out as Death Row won't have any more material, and Amaru Records, run by his mother, won't have all that much. But that can't be changed and I can't wait...

With his highly successful two-disk album All Eyez on Me going multiple-times platinum, the man was rolling in money... and controversy. At the same time, his beef with east-coast rapper Notorious B.I.G. was beginning to ignite and enlargen from just simple disses to some acts of street violence. For his fifth studio album, 2pac decides to take a twist into darkness, adopting his alter ego of Makaveli, the Don Killuminati, on the microphone. The name derives from a long-dead Italian War Strategist named Nichollo Machiavelli, who wrote philosophical literature about the secrets to winning wars and faking your own death. It was because...
