You seem to be missing an understanding on how it was when 2Pac got to Death Row. He arrived and shook the company up. He was writing so much material, that everybody struggled to keep up with him including the producers. So much was written that he couldn't even record it all, which in the end proved noxious because not all the "ideal" people got their hands on the material that wasn't recorded. Besides rap though, he wrote scripts, plays, poetry, music video concepts, tracks, track lists, album & PR ideas for other artists - everything. He wrote songs, verses, even hooks for artists not because they asked for it, or even needed it, but because he wanted to do it. He was a writing machine plain and simpleJust because 2Pac wrote for these people, it doesn't mean that they needed the help, or even asked for it. He would just write it without their knowledge, then go up to the artist with it complete. Outlawz were different though besides Syke, Fatal & Kadafi

I was only talking about the retail version, don't know about the other versionthere are handwritten lyrics (all in Tupac's handwriting) on the same pieces of paper with all verses writtenthe lyrics were filmed in some studio footage(btw, the written outlawz verses have slight differences to the recorded lyrics, seems like the lawz changed some words)the only logical explanation to me is that he wrote those lyrics
I know what you're talking about, but it wasn't in Pac's handwriting, which is different, as the papers were written too neatly (Pac's handwriting gets more and more sloppy, plus he wouldn't have the patience to do all that as neatly as it was) and weren't split up into bars. Someone else had probably transcribed it for some reason.
2Pac did write for Outlawz on Death Row a lot despite what they say about whatever (Outlaw) was completed in time got to record their verses if they were quick enough.. This is true to a degree however due to 2Pac's fast writing capabilities, this caused 2Pac to write other/give up a lot of his own verses to other Outlawz so that they could jump on to the track with him, give them exposure, and so that 2Pac had a dedicated group under him. Some of the tracks (There are more) are:Bomb First (My Second Reply) - E.D.I's verseWhen We Ride - Napoleon's verseThug Passion - Verse 2U Can Be Touched OG version 2 - VersesMade Niggaz - Napoleon's verse

Considering 'Pac and Lady of Rage never got along, I can't see 'Pac writing songs for Rage. I don't see him writing verses for Bad Azz either; given the story about how "Krazy" was recorded, Bad Azz was capable of coming up with a verse in a decent amount of time.Kurupt having rhymes ghostwritten for him wouldn't be shocking given the sharp drop-off in his lyricism since '99.
Pac and Rage didn't get along? how so?
pac went at rage cause during a studio session where they were all dissing the shit out of bad boy rage refused to indulge saying that she didn't have anything to say about them... or something along those lines. anyway it was east coast related, knowing that she was from VA, pac must have wanted her to prove her loyalty.
Fuck halfsteppin hoes afraid to take it all the way to the front line!! Thug Life is the real deal not some fashion statement!!! WESTSIDE BAD BOY KILLA THUG LIFE OUTLAW!!!! Lil Kim its still on ya slut!!
