Obviously the tracks released in OG form (or really close to it) are generally what people like, but my favorite posthumous remixed songs (which I do like but am not necessarily saying that they are better than the OGs) are:

Do for Love
Baby Don't Cry
Black Jesuz
Hell 4 a Hustler
Let Em Have It
All Out
Lastonesleft
When I Get Free
When We Ride on Our Enemies
Changed Man
Street Fame
Thugz Mansion
Never Call U Bitch Again
U Can Call
Don't You Trust Me
Hennessey (Red Spyda Remix)
Dumpin'
Playa Cardz Right (Female)
Resist the Temptation
Keep Goin' (Remix) - from Nu-Mixx 2 (remix of Don't Stop)
Part 2 - with Jon B (remix of Happy Home)

i dunno,
none of the posthumous album were awful or really bad imo. all of em were okay, musicaly, i guess -
but Pac-purists tend to hate most of em, cuz teh songs were not in og-format or whatever

the "Tupac Resurrection" OST had some nice Eminem-production, and so did "Loyal To the Game",, like the Nate Dogg-song
"R U Still Down" is probly the best album tho


i think the Still I Rise is the best IMO!

he is a wack back up rapper whose own solo album is a "throwaway"

I think the worst track they butchered was when thugz cry. The original had one of my favorite 2pac hooks of all time and they replaced it with some cheesy no name singer with an awful hook.

To be fair to evil Amaru, that one is not their fault, they didn't have the correct acapella.  Note all of the When Thugz Cry versions, prayer intro etc, and listen to the cpu gen acap (which is SUPERB) to really hear whats being said on one take.   

So the take Amaru used didn't have the chorus or outro, so they are not to blame for the acapella issues you pointed out.

Hard to believe they remixed it considering Sting has recorded a version of When Thugz Cry in tribute to 2pac.  Shame on Amaru for putting the brakes on that project, so we won't hear Sting sing rap When Thugz Cry...

Still I Rise has one track that really pissed me off when i bought the album and that was Black Jesus.

They changed the beat to some poor mans Hail Mary and it ruined the whole thing. The OG beat for Black Jesus was dope!

The actual OG of UTEOT's When Thugz Cry has been released though on the Makaveli Demo. Same prayer intro and outro and all so they had to have had the acapella with all layers. Maybe they thought the chorus was too violent or some other bullshit behind the scenes politics

Only if you look past Napolean rapping Pac's verse in U Can Be Touched, or the terribly remixed Tattoo Tears, or the corny chorus on Still I Rise, or the shit-looking cover.

In the Line of Fire...that record is an underground CLASSIC.  the single with Tame One got lots of play on Stretch and Bobbito and underground NY radio stations and the song with Freddie Foxxx also got him a lot more attention.


then his second album, Fatal, had a few memorable songs on it but was nothing special

pacs verse wouldnt have sounded right over that beat, pac rapped it kinda soft


and tattoo tears remix was good but the original is just incredible
