I just looked at the back of Me Against The World and that's what it reads, same with 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., and my copies aren't re-releases

Obviously they are.

I got the original copies of those cds and Amaru is NOT listed on them. They are interscope, although Death Row had made some deal regarding MATW so they have their logo on the back of that one. Never really understood why. I think when Pac signed that may have been part of the agreement.

Wasn't it like "Out Da Gutta" or some shit? "Out Da Gutta" under Interscope as a parent company sounds right.

Out Da Gutta was 2Pac's label during the Thug Life/Me Against The World era. It was made especially for the group Thug Life.

"Me Against The World" just might be Pac's greatest album, although the 2 he released on Death Row were classic as well

Dude, 'Pac was just Interscope... lets do a timeline

'Pac is on Same Song in 1991 with Digital Underground on Tommy Boy.
Interscope is started in 1990 by Jimmy Iovine, Ted Field, and Tom Whalley on the strength of commercial hit Rico Suave, in 1991 they signed 2Pac.
'Pac always wanted his own label, and would put a label name he wanted on his CDs, when Makaveli came out it was suppose to be on Makaveli/Death Row/Interscope Records.
Death Row Records is founded in 1991, Interscope Iovine financially assisted them in 1992.
'Pac started Outta Da Gutta for Thug Life and himself, during this time Death Row was trying to sign him, and even listed him as a Death Row artist in the OG books of Above the Rim in 1994.
'Pac signs with Death Row in 1995, got out of jail and recorded All Eyez On Me.
'Pac begins talking of starting Makaveli Records with the Outlawz as his artist.
'Pac dies in 1996, Death Row releases Makaveli and 'Pac's mom sues Death Row over his material.
'Pac's mom gains complete control with his works pre-Death Row and re-releases 2Pac's work on Amura/Jive with Interscope distribution, and later just Amura/Interscope, she still has to work with Death Row with work he recorded there, hence some albums are Amura/Death Row/ Interscope.

ANY QUESTIONS?

I feel u mayne, jst looked it up there & Amaru was founded 1997 after he died, so mines must be re-releases.

One thing I wanna throw out there tho, during the DVD called "Biggie & Tupac", if any on ya'll seen it, the narrator mentions that due to the heat caused by ice-T's song "Cop Killer" Interscope dropped Jive, which was home to 2Pac. So does that mean that 2Pac was not signed directly to Interscope but thru Jive to Interscope? Also iz it possible that once Interscope sold Jive, they worked out a deal to get 2Pac directly?, but this may only apply 4 MATW

I just got my 2Pac Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. out the shelf (I DL'd my CDs on my computar and now they are to look good next to the system... lol) and it's not TNT Records.... It's TNT RECORDINGS which is Digital Underground (checked the artist courtisy of and Shock G and Digital Underground were TNT/Tommy Boy). 2Pac was still an Interscope artist, but still a Digital Underground artist as well.
