props to @7thdayz and @C50barz on 2f for all the hard work put into this
I encourage each and all, to skim through this, as im sure you will find something different from whats already out there. This project is made in exact specifications set by 2Pac, by following his various tracklists. It is made to his exact wishes. Only the highest quality tracks were used, with a preference for quality over mix downs. All tracks should be 320 kbs (VBR 0), so they are the highest quality available, short of lossless. As always, based on the source, there will always be exceptions to any rule. Volume one was made according to 2Pacs tracklists. Volume 2 however, is all the various other songs, grouped together based on the era. 3/4ths of the CDs, have actual CD covers to be placed on the albums themselves included. Metadata is correct and included, to make sure it sorts and plays correct on your mobile device.
Each song, is sourced from the best possible version, from all sources available. Some songs had multiple sources spliced together to create a more finished track. For the tracks that were damaged, there were layers built of the original samples, and layered behind the original tracks, to create a better rounded sound. Songs were run through a DAW, for equalization, compression, etc. No DIY acapellas, or anything else which might distort sound, was introduced. No non original instrumentals, were used 99% of the time. If a song has a remix, in place of a song, it was because making a OG Vibe of the song, was not reasonable, due to various reasons.
This is made for a listeners experience, not a collectors. However, it is thourough, and is a great introduction to 2Pacs music, for anyone just now learning about him, or looking into him. Even if you feel as if you have heard every version of 2Pacs songs, i recommend simply skimming through these, as im sure you will discover something new, even if it is only a OG Vibe. I will update, in case any glitches or wrong edits are found. I will personally triple check them very soon.
Even if a song seems to have no edits, there is a 100% something different about every track. It just may be hard to spot in a couple tracks, such as ghetto starz in the way it is structured (Restructured to the original format using the reel), or Hold on (There were layers present in the OG, that were missing from retail, which are hard to spot, but were reincorporated), etc.
Biggie had Library Of A Legend, so i figured, hell, why not make 2pac a project. Im sure a lot of the old heads, will find a way to not enjoy this, but this was not made for them. It was made for my personal listening, so i spent a lot more time on it then usual, since i will be holding on to it for a long time, and will eventually pass it on to my daughters. However, i hope somebody enjoys it. This is the albums according to 2Pacs tracklist, as well as common sense, and various sources of information. there are 3 OG vibes on the project, made by others, to which i will edit later, and properly credit. Only 3 though.
(In order to qualify for the no retail rule, songs with NO alternate sources for mix downs of the songs, that ARE retail, were altered, not in a attempt to create a OG Vibe of the song, but simply to make it eligible to be on the CD. For this reason, you may, or may not, enjoy the way they are put together. However, it is only put together that way, to be applicable to the project itself.)
All Eyes On Us, and Retribution, were simply included to assure accuracy. These were not edited.

Props @Correa as usual for sharing stuff from other forums with us
...but...
Is this like a complete 2Pac discography or something? Can't be bothered looking into those files, probably "new versions" of tracks with extended 10 second outros and an extra violin added in the background ;D ;D
