Interesting. So this is the last 2Pac album ?
-
There is also a song with pac B.I.G., Big L, Left Eye, Big Pun, Rick James and Aaliyah
ROFL... I simply don't believe that. If it's true, it's the most pathetic shit I've heard.
-
Interesting. So this is the last 2Pac album ?
it better be
-
LOL thats kinda of fucked up the interviewer was askin him more questions about Pac then himself LOL
-
First off, I highly doubt this will be the last 2Pac album. Secondly, if this is the last album they better not mess it up with a bunch of artists and producers that didn't even know Pac. I'm sick of these posthumous releases with people from all over jumping on tracks like they knew dude before he passed.
-
I understand Afeni Shakur wants
to preserve her son's legacy make a shitload of money off of suburban Pac stans that got "Thug Life" across their stomach, but this is ridiculous.
-
Sounds dope except for Kanye West being on there. I don't want to hear his annoying ass voice on a Pac track.
-
Its over man! Let him RIP, its been 10 years we dont need to hear another subpar Pac album w/ gayunit and Eminem on it. ITS OVER!!
-
they need to get rid of ne-yo and kanye and new artists and just call it Night of the Living Dead
-
there is def a new album coming out later this year ...
I hope that track with all the deceased artists is bullshit, that is just corny.
as far as the "last Tupac album" ... pffft, they have said that the last 3 albums!

wonder what kinda fags are looking forward to this one :eh:
what a joke
-
suburban Pac stans that got "Thug Life" across their stomach, but this is ridiculous.
thats part of the reason hes over rated
-
So what label is this supposed to be on?
-
fuck it - im gettin on this 2pac album somehow
-
fuck it - im gettin on this 2pac album somehow
-
They need to stop this already.
-
fuck it - im gettin on this 2pac album somehow
I'm a DubCC hall of fame keystyle, I think I'm over qualified to be on a 'Pac album.
-
why cant afeni just let the final album be done correctly? johnny j, dj quik, and daz have all proven that they know how to produce tupac's material because he selected them when he was alive to produce for him. respect to kanye, he has his own style working for him, but tupac shakur and kanye west in no way have agreeing musical styles. and ne-yo? how about danny boy? kci & jojo?
-
I honestly would have DJ Quik and Johnny J produced the whole thing, throw the Outlawz on a couple of songs, MAYBE have someone like Ras Kass or Crooked I, a talented rapper that hasn't blown up yet, 'cause 'Pac loved helping those who needed to be hear. Of course have Richie Rich and Rappin' 4 Tay represent the real Bay, and then finish with a Dr. Dre produced track, with the lyrics to Revolution, featuring Immortal Technique, but then again, that album would sell triple wood.
-
Quik made the best posthumous Pac song in years - Loyal To The Game Remix.

LOL thats kinda of fucked up the interviewer was askin him more questions about Pac then himself LOL
ya know, lol

just let him rest in peace 8)
