L.T.T.G./ 2pacalypse Now

[Bender]

Anyone else notice the similarities? In relation to the words Tupac uses. I popped 2pacalypse Now on, eve of today, and every other track he's saying the same thing as on LTTG. Like he's took his lyrics from those songs and revamped them. Is this Eminem's intention for it to sound this way, like he's making an album by moulding it around another.

 

[Pittsey]

The tracks are from pre-DR era. The tracks are mainly leftovers from 2pacalypse now and S4MN. That was the time when 2pac was very political.

Those tracks were intended for those albums, but cut or replaced. That's why they sound similar. Same era.

its because songs on lttg r from 2pacalypse now and strictly for my niggaz period around 1991-1994

I find this hard to believe. Em may have used samples from 2pacalypse; but 10 year old tapes ??

It depends how they store the recordings. The tapes may be 10 years old, they may have transferred the recordings.

Either way, Eminem used recordings from 1991 - 1994.

 

[2PacThug4Life]

like pittsey said, i think tha songs were cut or replaced from 2pacalypse now and strictly, and i'm guessing thug life too.

 

[Bender]

So if Death Row has a safe full of Tupac material, does Jive also?

I think Amaru owns everything that Jive and Death Row has or had.

 

[Butt Rubber]

I think Amaru probably baught everything ovver from them when they re-released all of his old albums back in 98

2pacalypse was planned to be a double disk album

I don't think so.

There was enough tracks to do a double disk, but I don't think there was a plan.

To do a double album was unheard of then. And for a debut cd to be double disc, crazy.

 

[imported_MAKaveli_10]

yup from the 1991-1994 era.

They arent tapes. They are masters.

And didnt 2pac actually once say 2pacalypse now was supposed to be a double album? I swore i heard that before.

yes, Dope Fiend's Diner and Changes OG are among the songs cut from it

what he said....

Track 13: Original production by Johnny J. - Somehow I believe all the tracks aren't from a pre Death Row era.

i think johnny j started producin for pac b4 deathrow days. death around the corner was pre DR and produced by johnny j.

 

[Pittsey]

All the tracks were Pre-DR. That way DR had no cut of the profits or any creative input.

 

[Bender]

Amaru records is on 2pacalypse so I can understand Amaru getting the profits.

... [...] ... death around the corner was pre DR and produced by johnny j.

Thats 5 years after 2Pacalypse Now was released. If we are saying from a 1991 - 1994 era, shouldn't it really be up to 1996? How can anyone be certain of how old the masters were in the first place. Is Thug 4 Life an odd one out among earlier produced tracks.
Sounds like Em got the butt end of the stick, isn't there any tapes left from Tupacs Death Row days. It sounds like the barrel is being scraped to me; although i'm not convinced that's the case.

It was a pre DR album so that DR could claim none of the money and have no creative influence. It also used up a few of the tracks left over from 91 - 94. Death Around the corner was Pre-DR. The albums pre DR were 2pacalypse, S4MN, Thug Life, MATW. All the tracks not used on these could go on LTTG. There are still hundreds of tracks left from DR days. Damn I miss www.2pacshakur.org.
