Nice to see Thug Life there. might be about the only reason for me to grab it.

ok, so theyre making an album with people who worked with pac.

why cant they put people who worked with him on his actual songs?

kuz someone got the idea that it's commercially wiser to put currently
"hot" artists on them, even if it would probably go against Pac's principles.

personally I don't even think that the songs even got better with those
guest appearences, and I think it's an insult to his name to imply that
his music needs ANYONE else being featured on it to be sold, as if his name
alone isn't good enough.

it's a shame, but it's old, and there's nothing to do about it.

Well just another album to milk more money out of Pac's legacy.

 

[Maverick]

doubt this album will even make money

 

[Devious]

do the Lawz really need to be on a Pac tribute album? they drop his name in almost every song they do already, and it gets annoying. an interesting idea, but i doubt it will do much.

 

[Kadafi Son]

Never heard of Young Problems and Heartless. Glad to see Layzie on it though

Well, when your whole carrier goes arround someone as 2pac this is what happen.

They should just continue to feature on the futur 2pac albums. I really enjoy all the track they did on previous album but when I heard stuff such as "Get rich or die trying nigga as 50" come on this start to be ridiculous. Droping people names does not bring lot of respect.

I would like a new Fatal album with verses as hard as the one in Dumpin'.
