Free Music Notes for R U Still Down? (Remember Me)
Free Music Review: I'm Still Down 4 Thug Life Baabay!
Hit: 4 Stars
Though, this album was rushed out after the sucess of the Makeveli album, it still contains some gems on it. Unfortunately, the production (lack there of) is average at best.
Disc one starts off nice with "Open Fire" "R U Still Down" and "Hellrazor" (which is a headnodder and lyrically tight), I like both versions of I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto but prefer Disc 2's version slightly better w/Brownstone singing backround. "Nothing To Lose" is definitely the best track on Disc One. That track along w/Hellrazor is typical 2PAC at his best. The next three tracks on Disc One however, needed better production period. I loved the fact that they added "Definition of A Thug Nigga" (which was previously only available only on the "Poetic Justice" soundtrack which is one of PAC's hardest joints.
Disc 2 "Do For Love" and the hip hop version of "I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto" were the chosen singles to be released for radio the obvious bangin track is the reggae flavored "When I Get Free pt 1" which is the slamminest track on there. Takes me back to A Soldier Story Pt. 1 days. Too bad it isn't actually PAC's voice on there rappin but the track is hot nonetheless. "16 On Death Row" is typical politcal PAC w/a hidden message of course, "When I Get Free Pt 2 was okay but compared to the first version on the same side, it's no comparison. and "Only Fear of Death ends the Disc 2 nicely. The song almost gives you an insight into PAC's state of mind before his death.
This album had the potential to do much better with better production but PAC's songs like always, seems to supercede even weak production.
Free Music Review: Gone But Not Forgotten
Hit: 5 Stars
Listen to the cd man!
2pac is gone but his music still shines as strong as ever. Buy this cd. It is solid, great s**t, as good as it gets. The fact that 2pac has left us makes this music even more powerful.
Like I said, listen to the cd man!

Free Music Review: Tupac the true outlaw
Hit: 4 Stars
I would like to also point out to you that I have a broad taste in hip-hop, I do also like many of the rappers you point to, as do many Tupac fans, so maybe it is you that is ignorant. Biggie has an amazing flow, but his lyrics are average, and he never really raps about anything meaningful. Nas is, in my opinion the greatest lyricist ever, I love NWA as well, but none of them had the charisma and presence Tupac had. As for him contradicting himself, you don't think he noticed that? Everyone contradicts themselves, he wasn't afraid to show it either, because he said what was on his mind at the time. Have you ever listened to his lyrics, he genuinely believed that women should be treated with respect, yet on the other hand it conflicted with the one night stands he had (listen to Temptations on Me Against The World). He was the realest to ever pick up the mic, and not just that he was also a well above average lyricist, anyone who says otherwise is talking s**t. Buy Me Against The World and listen to him at his lyrical peak, he was not wack, I can only assume that you attack him because of what he said to Biggie. Get over it, the beef died when they both died, it was 9 years ago, I feel sorry for people like you who can't appreciate both of their music. this album isn't his best but is still a good one but needs some work.
R.I.P. 2PAC
Free Music Review: They deleted my last review
Hit: 5 Stars
Why do Amazon randomly delete reviews, there was nothing wrong with my previous review, and in fact the guy above me actually used a whole paragraph of my old review for himself!
This is the best compilation of posthumous Tupac songs, there are some serious classics on here, how some of these missed the cut for Strictly 4 my Nig*az and 2Pacalypse Now, i don't know. My favourites include the title track, I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto (with the verse they recycled for Changes), Hold On Be Strong, Do For Love, Fake A*s Bit*hes, Hellrazor, Lie To Kick It etc... Probably the track he goes deepest on is Only Fear Of Death, which is another eerie track in which Pac predicts his early death.
This album is nothing like his other posthumous releases, the beats are as he intended and most importantly no one has messed around with his lyrics (Eminem). He may not have considered these tracks to be worthy of release when alive, but there are still many gems on here, highly recommended.
