looking at songs that were made in that timeframe...
Don't Go To Sleep
When I Get Free (1996)
Still I Rise
Late Nite
Lil Homies
Secretz of War
Never Had a Friend Like Me
Life's So Hard
etc
is it me or could Pac have made a solid disc #3??
California Love (Original)
-
Possibly. If he did a 3rd disc, his contract with Death Row would've be done and over with quicker.

No because the quality of music normally decreases when you try to ft too many songs onto an album

Agreed. Even the 2 disk was pushing it. Filler was awesome, but it could of been a better album with just 1 disk. The Chronic/Doggystyle> All Eyez. Basically the same topics, with some of 2pac's personal emotional shit added into the mix.
-
could he put enough material together? yeah i dont see why not. would they release a triple cd? hell no
-
He certainly had enough material to make a 3cd set, but damn, how much would that have cost back in the day?
-
3 disc? He didn't even have enough good material for the 2 he released.
-
He could have made 3-4 discs, but it'd be pointless to even consider releasing a 3 CD album onto the market. 2 CD's was pushing it in 1996 especially for Hip Hop, which is why you never really seen any commercial artist with one before, because they have to charge extra. I was £21.99 for All Eyez On Me, due to it being a double album. a Triple album back then (in the UK) would have probably retailed for around £28.99 and it being aimed primarily at a pop audience, there's no way it would have sold as many numbers as it did

I got it for the price of one cd because my shop didnt realize that it was 2 cds at first..lol

Ordinarily, I would think the notion of an artist putting out a 3 disc album would be totally ridiculous. But being that 2pac had recorded plenty of quality tracks at the time, and given that in 1996 something like a 3 disc album might have actually gone over okay with people, I'd have to say that maybe it could have worked. Considering that for several years following the release of "All Eyez on Me," there were plenty of rappers who released 2 disc albums that actually sold well, and that 1996 was prior to the mp3 revolution, I'd say a 3 disc Pac album might have had a chance at success.

there is no point in in a double album anyway......you got too many songs overall and probably still not enough on each cd.
A Artist has to work extra hard for a dope double cd....You have to think about a million things
I mean whats the point in releasing a double cd when you cant release a classic album with only cd.
sure a snoop in 96 could have done a double album (controversy 8)).......Wu tangs wasnt bad ....biggies "life after death" was great and sounded like film music and the big cd box made it look even more special
but still...there is no real point
pacs AEOM was dope with tons of tight songs.....but did anybody ever got the feeling he got 2 classic cds in one??? No!!
The RnB Feeling of the second disk and a few other things just dont give you classic feeling.
A double cd only works as more underground cd like wutang or when you are sure you only use classic material
-
ofcourse he could but only stans like you would buy it
-
Material wise it wouldnt have been a problem.
In terms of musically its probably not the best idea, just because it would be too many tracks.
-

i just listed 8 songs that would have been great
i'm sure Pac could shit out 5 more songs lol
-
The 2 CD was CLASSIC ---fuck a hater---- a 3rd CD wasnt needed but i wouldnt have minded

What he said.
-
a 3rd disc for that cd would make our ears bleed
-
^ says a fool with "malace and wonderland" in his sig
-
You guys know that Eazy E's last album was supposed to be a 3 disk set
-
A three-disc album would've been a terrible idea. Like other people have said, the double album was overwhelming enough as it was at the time, especially given the higher prices at the time. It still would've sold though, but the material would've been more diluted than it ended up being. It definitely would've lead to stronger sales of the album's singles, which is saying a lot, seeing how How Do U Want It itself went double platinum. I was only a teenager when All Eyez on Me came out, and personally I bought the How Do U Want It maxi-single first since it was only $4.99 and had the major singles anyway at that time, though of course I bought the full album anyway not much afterward once I scrapped together some money.
What triple albums have there been anyway? I recall Eightball and MJG making a release like that, though of course it didn't move many units.
-

I thought Eazys was going to be a Double disk containing 60 Tracks. You're right but if it was 60 it'd probably be like a 6disk box set or something. I'd have 2 cope that shit just of the fact its E lol

I remember not buying that cd because it was so damn expensive. I dubbed it on a tape back then.

it was Eightballs "Lost" ...pretty dope album...but the third cd was more a bonus disk and label sampler

It was advertised as a double album in the liner notes of "It's on (Dr. Dre) 187um Killa." Although I did read that Eazy had 60-70 beats done for the album (although, according to Yella, many of them Eazy hadn't gotten around to putting vocals on, before he died). Hypothetically though, if he had actually had time to record vocals for all 70, I don't know if that means he would have released "Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin' Compton" as 3 discs, or just edited it down to a double album (as advertised) by just using the best 20 to 30 tracks or so.
-
Another funny thing is that people act like pac needed a double or a fuckin three cd album after he just released a very good album 11 months earlier......for what?? To add another average Michelle track or a few more danny boy tracks or more tracks with non deathrow artists which disappointed tharow fans or more average mixed daz or devante tracks or etc......
It would have been better if he worked on both disks a little bit more and released them as two complete solo albums!! The mastering and production made them sound like 2 different albums anyway.
The way pac did it ...he still released a great album with tons of good music...but he also created ammo for disappointed people and critics who only shut their mouth because deathrow was so strong in 96.
