Those lines from EDI are clearly referencing "Paparazzi"

see this album was hella nice. it wasnt none of that ima thug, fuck biggie, mob bullshiet like "All Eyez On Me".

"Hold Ya Head" is my favorite 2Pac track

i wouldn't call All Eyez On Me bullshit considering it's the best selling rap album of all time

Biggie's album sold more then "All Eyez On Me"  ;D

from Xzibit (not a real diss) to Nas.

Huh? When does he mention Xzibit? Which song?

bomb first, EDI has a line "if you aint in this rap game for this motherfucking cash mang, what is your motherfuckin purpose" aimed at X to the Z

maybe PAc has some subliminals too

I never realised that was an Xzibit diss. See, thats the beauty of the Makaveli album, 16 years later and you can still find new meanings on it.

It was originally titled the "3 day theory" because of the amount of time it took to record the album.

Hurt-M-Badd claimed that Hail Mary alone was half an hour to do. The pace of the work put in was incredible, which explains the reasons in your original post as to why there were very few features on the album besides the Outlawz, and a couple of others - IE: No Nate Dogg, Snoop etc..

Both 2 tracks together - White Manz World's and To Live and Die in LA's vocals (including ad-libs) took 30 mins total. We are talking about an average of 4 track vocals being done in an hour. Hold Ya Head written and recorded in 11 minutes with a beat that was made available via Hurt-M-Badd that was originally intended for an R&B track. He also sung the hook to the song "afterwards".

He worked with these producers because they weren't fully scheduled for much projects around the time, and the album was meant to be a street release, but commercial tracks were added in and according to sources - Interscope wouldn't allow them to release it at low-level. To Live & Die in LA was the longest recorded track with different takes, and a video recorded for it.

After this album and the One Nation project. 2Pac and QD3 were to be the new 2Pac & Johnny J and be integrated into the Non Stop productions team. QD3 would try and connect Michael Jackson & 2Pac together who was originally sought out for the Niggaz Nature (Thug Nature on Too Gangsta 4 Radio) and would eventually be cut and stored away in the hopes for MJ to do vocals for it to be released on a future project.. Other cut tracks Lost Souls appeared on the Gang Related soundtrack, Watch Ya Mouth, and The World is Mine/Friends which would later appear on the Too Gangsta 4 radio compilation






yea, 2pac had amazing work ethic...dude would just get it in and had the ability to bang out tracks like no other. these are the best typa artists to work with. klientel is like this. when he met fingazz, they did 3 tracks on the spot, in the span of a couple hours. very 2pacish in the studio. not many rappers have that energy anymore.

by far his worst record.
Poorly mixed and some terrible beat decisions.

lol. I agree, I was just messing. But that was one comparison a lot in his circle do. Making 5 tracks a day is very easy, when they suck, but making 5 average tracks a day requires some form of creative talent

This is questionable. For one All Eyez On Me has had WAY more re-releases than Life After Death. Also, Death Row has not paid to update the sound scans on All Eyez On Me in at least 10 years. Bad Boy had paid to update Life After Death pretty regularly. So Life After Death may actually have more sales, but we don't know. Officially they do, and sometimes re-releases are under their own sales. So maybe All Eyez On Me released in 1996 has 9 million (as of 1998) and the re-release in 2001 sold 2 million and the re-release in 2005 sold 1 million. Instead of officially selling 12 million to Biggie's 10 million, it will go under selling 9 million.

All eyez on me was to me a Death Row compilation. They could have easily made that into a 1 disc album to strengthen it

death row comp?

2pac was on every song, meanwhile Dre was only on 1, Snoop only rapping on 1, Kurupt only rapped on 2


it was a Pac album to the fullest, most of the guests weren't even on dr
