there will NOT be a unreleased box set. stop and think for one second... amaru and especially the outlawz have burned so many bridges (charging pac's original collaborators insane amounts of money for his verse, removing producers, reporducing songs to sound similar to the original but now not being legally obligated to give them primary production credits, and twisting pac's music to become a vehicle for the outlawz' own successes). beyond that, releasing the originals would require a very intensive sample clearing process that would never be fully successful. prince isn't too keen on people sampling his music, and royalties would be insane. that's a major reason why a lot of the new pac material (and recent hip hop) for that matter has transitioned into original loops instead of samples - sampled artists are getting hip to getting an inc reasingly larger cut. simple fact is that an unreleased box set is neither feasible or realistic in consumer price. who but the hardcore pac collectors would pay over $50 (more like $100) for a box set of pac tunes over some very dated and simple production? shit, half of this board wouldn't even buy it anyway and just leech it from one of a thousand yousendit links.
i don't believe there's one album left. afeni has well over 80 tracks left by my knowledge alone, and there's no excuse not to release the music. afterall, the music funds the tasf - which seems to be her main focus these days. this has to be all pr hype to help draw interest to the new album. they tried it before with eminem's name, and now they're trying to make people get out there and buy the last album. i wouldn't be surprised if this was the last "makaveli era" album or something stupid like that, with plenty more "2pac" or "tupac" around the corner.
either way, i don't buy it.
