Free Music Notes for R U Still Down? (Remember Me)
Free Music Review: Pretty Good Album.
Hit: 4 Stars
This album is good, but not Pac's best. This album is probably worth getting. It's the kind of album that some people like and some people don't. Free Music Review: 3.5 Stars
Hit: 3 Stars
R U Still Down is one of the best after life 2Pac albums that anyone has put together. It is a hard listener but the overall talent that he must have put into making that much material before he died deserves enough respect, but overall R U Still Down is a must have.Free Music Review: I'm Still Down Wit this Joint

Free Music Review: good early Pac
Hit: 4 Stars
This double disc released after his death contains material from 92-95 (before his death row days). It has some good songs and no real weak ones on here. Features some of his old homies (Big Syke, Spice 1, Outlawz) but it's mostly just 2Pac. Has a few classic joints and is a definite for all fans. It's good Afeni & Suge didn't mess w/ the beats and guests like they did on all the rest of his post-humous material. Production is by Edi, Soulshock did 3 each, Tony Pizzaro, 2Pac & Live Squad, Warren G, Johnny J each did 2, and Akshun, QDIII, Mike mOsely, Ricky Rouse, Choo, Rasser, DJ Darryl, 2Pac all did 1. It has 3 classics, 3 or 4 almost classics, 1 ok song and the rest are good. A must have rap album for all.

Free Music Review: One of my favorite 2pac albums!
Hit: 3 Stars
This album has a lot of gems and hidden jewels, showcasing some of Pac's greatest material. It is obvious that 2pac was in a zone when he was making these songs. You can just feel his energy as he raps non stop from verse to hook to verse to hook as he does on most of the songs on this album. This collection was put together after 2pac died so it's more of a collection of songs than an album per se, but there was something unique about Pac's spirit when making most of these songs that provides a cohesive force of sorts that makes it all fit together well. It seems as if Pac was just hitting his stride and really getting comfortable in the studio during these sessions, and the results are songs that sound really fresh and honest even when they are not his greatest material. The first nine tracks are outstanding and add a very critical element to the big picture of who 2pac was as an artist. 'Open fire' is just intense and relentless. The title track is much more personal and comtemplative. It resonates most strongly when 2pac feeling battered and persecuted says, "now the whole world's callin' me a killer, all I ever did, was try to reach the kids with the real(la)". And this does honestly seem to be quite true of 2pac's intentions up until the point where he made the material on this album. I never truly understood some of the criticism that he faced. This is pretty much the tone of the next five songs and they are all some of the best songs that he has ever written, especially 'Hell Razor'. This is something that you just have to hear to appreciate. 2pac basically just blindly lets it go, honestly pleading and screaming his heart and soul out. "I'm Gettin Money" is another winner and "Like to Kick It" is also a pretty solid effort. The next two songs sound like nothing more than studio exercise and should have been left off of the album. The last track on the first disc is quite similar to "I'm gettin money" and is also quite powerful. The second disc does not have any really bad songs but it is not as good as the first one because it only has a few songs that stand out as really great. The songs on the second disc that stand out most to me are "Hold on be Strong", "Do for love", "Nothin but love"--finding 2pac at his most compassionate and idealistic saying, "I help an old lady across the street, the cost is free I can't take what she offers me, this is how the world could be, this is how the world should be"--"I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto", "When I Get Free II" and, the haunting "Only Fear of Death". This is not exactly 2pac's best album but it is one of his most enjoyable to just ride out and listen to. It also gives you a clearer and much more well rounded picture of who 2pac was than the solid but seriously overrated "All eyez on me". So I would strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to see more of 2pac than what the mainstream is accustomed to.
