Greatest Hits - Nate Dogg

Advantages: Classic album shocasing the best of 2pac
Disadvantages: A few weak tracks, which should not have been included

...Greatest hits albums are usually not considered as classics nor generally do they define the pinnacle of an artist's career. However when it comes to 2pac's greatest hits there is an exception. Why is there an exception, well it can be put down to 2 major reasons. Firstly he was in the mid 90's the most famous rapper. Although his fame did not reach the heights as the likes of Eminem or Jay-Z today, he was still nevertheless reasonably famous and an exceptionally talented rapper. Secondly and perhaps most importantly though was the tragic fact that he had died just shortly before the release of this album. 2pac had been shot dead in a murder case that is still unresolved till this day and has been the subject of many conspiracy theories. However sad this event was it can not hide the fact that it catapulted 2pac into a famous... Read review

Advantages: Charismatic and Humorous Lines, Some Solid Production, Some Good Guests
Disadvantages: Terrible Lyricism, Constant Filler, Poor No Limit Guests, Commercial, Cliche Subject Matter

...'s greatest emcees back together to join the Doggfather on this incredible crew joint. N.W.A. alumni MC Ren and Ice Cube pop in, along with former Death Row Records employees Kurupt, Ice Cube, and Nate Dogg. Of course, as you may have figured, Nate hits us with another one of his haunting hooks, but this time extends it a bit since Cube is set to do the chorus. Snoop drops lyrics in his typical laid-back style, and Lady of Rage and Kurupt come off angry and violent. MC Ren does the best job in my opinion, showing that after all these years, he still has not fallen off. "It's that black n*gga Ren, duck when I bust, Make Jada get on these nuts, make Will, love to cuss, You wanna f*ck with us? Man, I wouldn't do it, Ask this n*gga here, his a**, we ran right through it". Skipping past the terrible "Stacey Adams", we head to one of the better... Read review

Advantages: All of his great hits, none left out
Disadvantages: Some bad orders

...underated track which is pure G-Funk, great 2Pac raps with Nate Dogg melodies which make it perfect. This is one that I love to keep to myself as a favourite track, simply because it is too funky for people to know about so it will be watered-down by others. This was a must have because not many had hea tis one before and they were missing out. By putting it on a 'Greatest Hits' compilation it will get more hears and so will not be missed by many because it is highly likely that people will go out and buy this rather than a regular single or album. "To Live & Die in LA" **Four Stars** Under his new alias of Makaveli, 2Pac gives a calming track to end off the compilation. This is what the purpose of bringing all of these together is, to show the world what is like in LA, the mixture of cultures from the middle-class, whites... Read review
