Free Music Review: 2Pac is 2 good 2 be true
Hit: 5 Stars
Any true Pac's fan will loves this album in the first time hear, it is hard for me to decided which one of the cd's is the best, cuz both of them are GREAT!!! But the one thing for sure is, this album is my third favourite after "Me Againts TheWorld" & "All Eyes On Me". Although most of the songs in this album are remixes but they are still great, might be the reason for this, is because the original versions is too sloppy, so that's why its never appeared in the previous albums, and if it's so then this album is true definitions of Lost Tapes. Unlike the others Pac's posthomous album, this one is far from commercial approach. You don't have to worry about the new beats because it's still carrying the sounds of Pac's album before the Death Rows years. We should give a big props to Ricky Rouse who makes a magic touch for the most of songs with his excellent guitar plays, which not only great complement for the songs but also turns Pac's lyrics into vivid picture that you can see clearly like movie on the big screen. If you already have "Me Againts The World" & "All Eyes On Me", you must have this album or if you wanna start hearing Pac, this is not bad choice.

Hit: 4 Stars
Came out in 1997, the records were recorded during the years around "Strictly" time. I didn't get this until last year because I couldn't find it anywhere and it took me a while to grow up on it and after all these months, I finally did. Since it came out in 1997, it leaves me asking the question why its releases were never featured on 2pac's Greatest Hits album. After all, the releases he released were all great tracks and deserved to be on his Greatest Hits album. Many people didn't like this track because it sounded different from all of 2pac's other work but to me, it sounded like the work 2pac would usually do, just in his younger days. This CD provides many great unreleased tracks that are groovy to listen and dance to and has the most party tracks I've seen 2pac release on an album. Some of my classics on this are- Hellrazor, I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto, Nothing to Lose (the best song on the CD), Lie to Kick It, Hold On Be Strong, Fake Ass Bithes, Do for Love, Nothin but Love, When I Get Free II and Only Fear of Death. I would recommend this to true 2pac fans as it will take a while to grow on it since its the present, not the past (many people don't really like listening to old music now but I find I enjoy it) but it is definately worth a listen. Peace to Rap's finest rapper, R.I.P.Free Music Review: Why are people hating on this album?

Ive seen a few reviewers give this album a low rating, but for no good reason. This is probably Pac's best post humuous release to date [outside of Makaveli of course].....Yea, it has some filler, like most double cd's do, but overall, its pretty solid and is a must for any 2Pac fan. Its not as good as All Eyez On Me [his best double cd to date], but this was recorded in a different era than AEOM was. AEOM was part of Pac's "Death Row" era, while R U Still Down was recorded between 92' and 94', though it wasnt released until 97', a year after his death.Disc 1 starts off with a beautiful acoustic intro, and follows with a classic raw song, "Open Fire"....."Fu*k All Yall", "R U Still Down", "Thug Style", and "Lie To Kick It" are all great songs, but the true gem of Disc 1 is "Hellrazor". This is easily one of Pac's finest songs ever, depicting him at his rawest and most emotional. Overall, Disc 1 is a solid 3.5/5.......
Disc 2, in my opinion, is the better of the two discs. The first three songs (Ready 4 Whatever, When I Get Free, and Hold On] are all gems, as are Nothin But Love, 16 On Death Row, Do for Love, and I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto......the album closer, Only Fear Of Death, is my fav song on the disc. Its one of the darkest, grittiest songs he ever made, as well as one of the most haunting, as he predicts his own death. Disc 2 is a solid 4.5/5
If you are expecting some Death Row type material here, you wont get it. This album is younger, rawer, less experienced Pac. Most of these songs were recorded between the Strictly 4 Niggaz sessions and the Me Against The World sessions. But aint nothing wrong with that. This is one of Pac's most underrated albums. Dont listen to the people who say this album is disappointing, this is a MUST HAVE for any Tupac fan.....
Free Music Review: we will always remember PAC!!!! but whats going on here?
Hit: 2 Stars
Well this is not quite the best Tupac album ever. Im not saying its bad im just saying compared to albums he has put out in the past for example ?All eyez on me? and ?Me against the world? this album is not as good.Ru still down features two disks but one must say that if they had just added the best songs onto one disk this album would have been better.
For me standout tracks on this album are first off from disk 1, Open fire, the title track R U Still Down (remember me), I wonder if heaven got a ghetto and to be honest I can only pick out one good song from disk 2 which is Do For Love.
Its not really a good example of what Tupac was really about. The beats are lame at times and don?t really appreciate Tupac?s lyrical capabilities. Saying that this album is way better than some albums other artists have been releasing and one the reasons I am a bit disappointed with this album is because of the quality of past projects. It really does give you the idea that someone has just put these songs together and hope they will please fans because Tupac is singing it.
If someone picked up this album and had not heard of Tupac before this moment they wouldn?t think much of it and it would be left picking up dust.
If you really love Tupac you should get this album but personally if I were you I would try to find someone that has it and just borrow it off them for a few days. A bit disappointing.
