Nu Mixx Klassicz

[cdad-d]

This album was a good idea gone bad..........first off every song on the album should be a classic (Even if they could only use Death Row releases - MATW/AEOM/MAKAVELI)

although I like this version of "Never Had a Friend Like Me" better, I don't believe that song, or "Hearts of Men" were close to being classic 2pac records....

and certainly they could have picked songs that were better classics than the ones they picked.....IE: So Many Tears / MATW / I don't give a fuck LORD KNOWZ is a classic / Krazy / Shorty Wanna B a Thug / I ain't Mad Attcha / If I Die Tonight / Temptations

i'm just sayin' they could have made it an acceptable cd for 2pac fans...........shit even the cover I think is bullshit.....look how unhappy dude looks.......either that or that drink got his head spinnin' and he about to puke.......worst picture for a cover......

The CD isn't that bad, but they could have done somethin' more special with it instead of Suge rushing the project and really not givin' a fuck about pac's music like that.......I think he just needed some quick cash (in suge's brain anything with 2pac's name is gonna sell)........Like "here, remix these tracks real quick and throw crooked I on a joint, I need this cd done faster than Makaveli was"

I think your goin the wrong way with it, i think they should of picked songs with bad beats, and like fixed em

the problem with nu-mixx was very simple: one producer remixed the entire album. whenever one person puts their own brand of stank on an lp worth of tracks, it gets boring and repetitive. every nu-mixx song sounds like the same instrumentation, just sequenced differently. big mistake. had vegas done 2-3 tracks, nu-mixx may have been more digestable.

That's not always true Dante, look what RZA's production on Wu-Tang albums did for that group. Their earlier albums, which were exclusively produced by RZA, were amazing. The problem was that they didn't pick the right producer, Vegas's beats just didn't suit Pac. That, and the fact that most of the OG's of the songs they remixed are 100x better than these horrible remixes, made this album what it was: A complete waste of good disc space

true enough. rza is a hip hop pioneer, whereas vegas is some asshole with a mpc.

that would be a whole completely different type of album project.....and it wouldn't fit the title of the cd "Nu Mixx: Klassicz" it would have to be appropriately titled....and go along witht the theme of the record.....Suge should have just tweaked and fucked with the original beats.......not sayin' that the og's are bad, but some of them are really simplistic and could have more breakdowns/complexity to them........if you were to listen to just the instrumentals you'll find there pretty repetative the whole way through with no real breakdown between verse and chorus.......since pac liked to work fast I'm guessin' he left it up to his producers to put final touches on the beats he picked......and i'm guessin' when doin' vocals he would only use the main loop........at least if i was tryin' to do a shit load of songs that's what my orders would be to a producer....to just leave the main loop/let me do my thing/then fuck with it later after I get all my shit done while i'm in my zone

true enough. rza is a hip hop pioneer, whereas vegas is some asshole with a mpc.

99% of hiphop producers use MPCs (not including 'internet DJs')
thought i would point that out
(if my interpretation is correct that u tried to draw any relation between MPCs and assholes)
