Until The End Of Time Vs Better Dayz

[Hack Wilson - real]

and they left Late Night and Who Do U Believe In in original form

No doubt those are two of the better 2pac posthumous tracks.  The only problem was those two tracks had been on loads of bootleg albums from as far back as 98' I had been bumping those two tracks on the regular.  So by the time they came out on Better Days they were old and I already had them on other cd's.   I'm happy they were left in their original form because they were great the way the were, but at the same time when Until The End of Time came out it was like all new Pac music I'd mostly never heard before.

yeah i already had those 2 songs memorized from chronic 2000  (and i knew Late Night before chronic 2000)


but at least the majority of people who got Better Dayz didn't know of them yet

Better Dayz >>>

I like Better Dayz. Most people hate it because that was the beginning of Amaru remixing his shit with mainstream producers / features but this was a damn good compilation. Still Ballin, Changed Man, When We Ride..., They Don't Give a Fuck About Us, Ghetto Star, Fame, Thugz Mansion. It'd be more respected if it was a single disc.

I would go with UTEOT mainly because it has two of my favourite 2Pac tracks on it (and most underrated I might add) in 'Good Life' and 'Fuckin Wit' The Wrong Nigga'.

I recently burned the OG albums as accurately as I could and Disc 1 of Better Dayz plays surprisingly well, although both of these albums are in a way a mixed bag, seeing as the songs are taken from All Eyez session leftovers, Makaveli period and One Nation sessions together.

someone needs to upload a .zip file of all of pac's posthumous releases with all the OG versions of the same tracks. heard most of em, but would be nice 2 have em in sequence.

UTEOT had that awful remix with Lil Mo on it

I said "upgrade" but I think it would have been better to call Still I Rise an "UPDATED" version of the Thug Life album.  And whoever complained about "Hell For A Hustler" soundin like Pac was under water?  That album cut was superb, and I've never agreed with all the cats that say the OG versions of these songs are better.

If you notice they didn't fuck with tracks like "Play Your Cards Right" and "Soon As I Get Home" or "Who do you believe in."  Because those tracks were already great.  Most the ones they fucked with needed to be touched up a bit cause they were unfinished tracks. 

For those that complain about album mixes go listen to "Because I Had 2" and compare it to the title track "Until the end of time" and that should change your thinking.

1-They remixed Play Ya Cards Right

2-Soon as i get home couldn't be remixed because the master reel was lost

3-How is Still I Rise anything like Thug Life?  the only member of both groups was 2pac unless you want to count that short Big Syke verse.  Two different production teams too minus JJ.

1-They remixed Play Ya Cards Right

I never bought the Pac's Life album, because I didn't like the guest artists they set him up with for that one.  But I was told "Play Your Cards Right" was on there in the same version as the bootlegs, maybe not though, guess I will have to check out the new mix.  The OG version is one of my all-time favorite Pac cuts I've had in my rotation since way back in 98.

interesting

Because of the obvious reason that they are the two Pac albums that are group albums rather than solo albums.   Also I feel the subject matter is similar, kind of speaking for the outcasts, downtrodden, people on the fringes, the hopeless!   And even though the second one was released after Pac's death, I feel the quality of both was the same, both were great albums.

Ohhh shit, I just went over to youtube and listened to the Pac's Life album version of "Play Your Cards Right".  The Keyshia Coles version.  First of all, the idea of putting Keyshia Coles on a track with Pac already rubbed me the wrong way, then I listen to that trash and I don't think there has ever been a song that suffered a worse fate than this one.

My statement that I like the remixed album version tracks better than the OG versions, doesn't apply to the Pac's Life album.  That's the only Pac album I never bought or even bothered to listen to.

pacs life was a disaster besides soon as i get home

[KURUPTION-81]

better dayz for me uteot was dope also but it still annoys me that bits were blanked out

[Mietek23]

pacs life was a disaster besides soon as i get home

"Loyal To The Game" was even greater disaster with all that TRASH Eminem had produced for it.
