The New 2Pac Album (Production & Content)
« on: December 14, 2004, 02:14:15 PM »
I just picked it up today...I have not heard any of the tracks prior till today.  Everybody was knocking it, but I thought I'd give it a chance...

I'm disappointed.  Em's production is alright, but these tracks definitely sound old.  At least with the Death Row releases we were getting 1996 material.  This is pre-Death Row, during 92-93 for a lot of it.  I wouldn't necessarily blast Eminem for the production though...you can tell by Pac's STYLE that it is old.  At ;east other posthumous releases don't sound dated.  Now if Em was to produce tracks from Better Days or other unreleased DEATH ROW material, I think it would be more fair to judge Eminem's beats.

That good huh?

I havn't even considered picking this up and I don't think I'm likely to.

Eminem's beats are just so monotonous. They really bore the shit out of me. He wants to concentrate on his writing and let someone else do the producing so we don't get another joke of an album. That is if anybody else even wants another albumfrom him.

This album is sick in my opinion. Em's production is way better than what he did on Encore. Check these tracks out...

Black Cotton
Out On Bail
Hennessey w/ Obie Trice
...and the best jam of them all...DJ Quik produced...Loyal To The Game. There's two versions on the cd, make sure you cop the one with Big Syke. Ridiculous beat.

Then after you listen to these songs, tell me you won't listen to the album again. 8)

i liked Ghetto Gospal
been rockin' longer than niggas twice my age
back in the days before Bob Marley was rockin' a fade
before Honest Abe signed the paper that freed slaves
before Neanderthals was drawing on walls in caves
I existed, in the garden of Eden gettin' lifted
stickin' dick to Eve before she was Adam's mistress
before Christ created Christmas, I been in lyrical fitness
the Canibus is spittin' til' he's spitless - Canibus

You're right about DJ Quik's remix of Loyal to the Game.... :o  Tight beat.  Easily the best song on the CD.

DJ Quiks one beat destroys anything Em produced on the album.

It was better than I thought it would be.  Eminem stepped up his prduction on this one.  It's definitly not the best Post-Death 2Pac album.  But, it's not a bad album either.

I just don't listen to single songs, I listen to whole albums, and this one is just definately not bumpable to me. Like Overseer said, Em's monotonous beats just ruin the album, which hasn't got any potential on becoming a classic (which it should have, being a Pac album). That Hennessy track with Obie Trice is pretty cool though  8)

i liked the Scott Storch and Quik tracks, the Raphael Saadiq one was pretty good too. Basically the remixes, the rest was trash
