2pac (or 6pac shakur as i like to cal him as he is/was always showing off his chest ha) broke onto the rap scene back in the day, but his hostile background, which also fueled his lyrics, ended up being his downfall when he was shot dead in 1996. Most people ask me, he can't really be dead he's released lik 7 albums since he supposedly died! Well the answer to this lies with those who produce the albums, they basically cut and stick his lyrics from his old tapes (2pac practically lived in the record studio), add background beats and add current artist either in the background or in conjunction. Therefore the better the producer the better the album essentially. This is the same with notorius BIG and other dead releasing artists. Eminem Produces 13 of the tracks on this album and contrary to popular belief that this would essentially ruin 2pac it has further enhanced his reputation 10 years after his death.

Most believed eminem would ruin the album simply because his flow is so totally different from 2pac's but he managed to pull it togeather and i am glad!!!
The artists that eminem get to join on the album NATE DOGG(Finally!!!!), G-Unit, dido (not a fan of her but she is tremendous in the chorus on "Don't you trust me") and obi trice (although he is wack makes a good entrance).
I would totally buy this album if i was reviewers i have put and asterix (*) next to all the tracks that i believe are hottt and for legal downloaders do not download the whole album just these tracks i reccommend.
"Although he may not live in the physical form we still...(respect)...him after he is gone"!!!
