Title: Fake 2Pac album at Music Store...
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on May 09, 2001, 07:43:16 PM
Yo, about a year ago,  I saw this 2Pac album at Tower Records with 2Pacs head on the cover, the cover was like silver...I forgot the title, but it said "Featuring Notorious BIG" on the cover...It WASN'T a single..It was a complete album...His name was spelled Tupac...and on the back all the songs said Tupac Featuring (Somone) and some of the songs had BIG on them...This cant be a bootleg since it was in a real Record Store...This CD was on some Low Budget Record Company...Neither Death Row or Afeni...Yesterday I saw it used at the WearHouse for 20.99....Where all of the used CD's at the wearhouse are as high as 9.99...Can anyone tell me about this...Are they unreleased rare GOOD Tupac songs, or are they cheap remixes...Also, is this an official 2Pac CD? Please give me some info about this CD, and if it's worth picjking up for so expensive...

Info please  ;)

It kinda has half his head till his nose or eyes in silver, if I remember it right...Can't they get sued or something for this?

I always see fake 2pac cds at a record store. It's a shame that fake dudes have to put his face on a record to try to make money. Have you ever seen the cd that says this may or may not be tupac.

It had a title, I just forgot it...Is this really 2Pac? I've never heard it really...I meant fake by Remixes and shit, not a different person...Does anyone else know about this?

It's most likely a Bootleg dawg. If it was a real Paqc album it would get lots of publicity.

It cant be a bootleg since Bootlegs are illegal, and Bootlegs cant be sold at Tower...But my question is...Is it just a CD with a bunch of Unreleased shit? Or is it just fake Remixes?

It has to be remixes. I believe those are legal but its definitely not a real album.

Than why is it 20.99??? In The Wearhouse used CD's cost from 1.99 - 9.99...If it's just a fake album with a bunch of Remixes it should go for 3.99 for a used copy, and 9.99 for a new one...Don'tchuh think?

Thats just another scheme. They probably upped the price either to make it look like an expensive Pac album or to get more money outta it since they knew it won't sell well.

the album your talking about is THE HERE AFTER....

...its not a bootleg as such, just some guy who used to do mixtapes in nyc had a lot of tapes of tupac and biggie together from when they were friends which became valuable after they both died.

it got very poor distribution worldwide but is STILL relativley easy to get over here in the uk (which makes a change!)......

....curiosity forced me to buy it aboutm 6 months ago and i was pretty dissapointed....infact, it sucks dick.

this album has gotta be the most snakwe ass attempt to make money off these guys ever...

....but, if you liked pac's '2pacalypse now' flow i suppose itts worth having....biggie comes correct but it all sounds so makeshift and forced that i wouldnt bother copping it if i were you....

...if anyone REALLY wants this and cant find it on the net i might be able to pick one up for you....

Guys, the album is called "The 2Pac & Biggie you never heard" & its by this fool named TRAUMA (not the poster, a rapper) who puts his songs on the album as well as unreleased 2Pac & Biggie.

There was 2 versions, only difference was covers. I have one of the covers, I'll scann for yall in a few days

engies i think you mean TRAPP unless you have seen another bitch stealin Pac's shit.

trapp has released a ton of bootlegs as official albums, and cuz theyre imports over here in the uk they go for a lot of money. all he did was take songs from those Pac bootlegs, paste his WACK vocals onto them and say theyre his songs. i hope he got sued or at least beat up for this shit.

i never bought any but i know people who did and heard the cds and laughed my ass off, trapp didnt even edit the original bootleggers shoutouts off the tracks
