first time i heard it was at blockbuster music on ventura blvd in sherman oaks ca (obviously long gone now, it was a quick bus ride from north hollywood). if heads remember how that store worked you could listen to music there for free, and didnt have to purchase anything. i remember the buzz around the album atthe time at first was mixed, i distinctly remember there being a not so great review of the album in rap pages at the time ( i could be wrong tho). i was expecting something like 'all eyes' so yeah, a little disappointed too. i do rememeber liking "to live and die in LA" and 'hail mary' from jump tho. most of my homies weren't feeling it at first either, untill later that spring once more of the songs were getting burn on power and the beat if i recall correctly. i dont think toss it up as the first lead video helped much either, aside from the dre diss.

I didn't understanding why the album was under Makaveli and not physically saying 2Pac on it. But I figured I'd buy it anyway. So on my way back home, I was confused and thought I got duped because the album looked so simple, compared to All Eyez on Me. It seemed like a bootleg since the booklet was literally just that single-fold one without a single picture aside from the cover, and with a handprint on the inside.

That trip was a mess for me lol I remember almost nothing. I almost moved out there in 98. Had a homie who lived in Santa Clarita, worked at the picture place in six flags. I came out for an interview but they wouldn't pay me enough to move out there. I met some real nice peeps who worked at 6 flags... Even karaoked Hail Mary with one of them in a dive bar lol. We made trip to a strip clue near tarzana where one of the hoe's we were with got raped.... Don't ask odd night lol

Yes, but with his dead, not his music.
