As far as these beats go, a TRUE Pac fan hears no beat! Pac's NEVER needed a beat. That's just one of the many things that separated him from the rest.

Now, I voted NO. Pac's sh!t should NEVER be changed. One this is to add a beat to his original material, but to alter actual word-play?!?!?! That sh!t ain't Pac. Eminem lost respect points on my end.

Trips me out how everyone till this day are leechin off his name and hard work. All these cats today are nothing but Pac-Wannabees, too stupid to realize that even if they edit his words, sample his voice, or plain out BITE his material... They'll NEVER be Pac, or come close. Em needs to stick to what he does best, sweat Kim, love his daughter, and just be silly.

Seems like we have a pretty solid argument here. I would have to tend to agree that Slim's production leaves something to be desired but at the same time Afeni looked over the project. And if the project doesn't make me or any other devout 2Pac fans happy (which i think we can agree it doesn't) well I think we have to suck it up and appreciate it for what it is. I do not even come close to having a big enough ego to say that my opinion on a 2Pac album is right and his mother's is not.

As for Em, well....he is a fan (maybe a Stan?) when it comes to Pac and you can't blame dude for trying. One of the perks of being a celebrity is one day getting the chance to work with someone who influnced you, and this is the closest old Marshall will ever get.

As for Em, well....he is a fan (maybe a Stan?) when it comes to Pac

You couldn't be more right. They ALL are nothing but lil Stans pullin' on Pac's... well you know.

Off Topic: You can tell this is some real old Pac material by how he sounds and flows as he did back in Strictly for my n.i.g.g.a.z. and 2Pacalypse. The man was way before his time. Look how we are still banging his oldest material as if it were new.

I like all Eminems music. So go **** yourself.

toi m?me osti de tapette :happy::

...but apart from that...yes... you may like what Eminem does...

but there's two thing in life...

1- Eminem doesn't make hip hop music... he makes MTV crap joke, supposedly funny rapitirap music... or so called pop music.

2- Eminem being a all-star doesn't give him the right to crap someone else music just because, he, himself makes crap, circus music.

okay! :yes::

I have always believed that. Every "new" Pac cd that has come out his lyrics have always fit the beat and fit the time. He really knew what he was doing when he recorded his verses.

did you even buy the cd or just downloaded it? obviously not because if you did you would have opened the cover and fliped through eventually coming to the thank you by Afeni Shakur and i quote "the gift of generosity given to me by a young man who not only asked for nothing in return for his services, but refused to accept anything i offered" this is obviously Eminem because at the end she says "i must personally thank Marshall Mathers"

on top of that all you b*t*hing about the producer this or that the cd reads executive producers Afeni Shakur (first) and Eminem (second) and i think that his mom knows whats best for his memory

now go put on some Makaveli gear (also done by Afeni) and buy a brick

First off: I dont belive that much but if its true then second off is whats up

Second off: Do you accually think that G-Unit, 50 Cent, and Obie Trice dont get paid for their sh*t? And guess who owns their ass. Yep thats right Eminem so he gets a portion of whatever they get as well. Boom Eminem gets paided while making the public think he didnt.

Third Off: This is the one disc that Afeni did not do whats best for her son, her son's fans, and just hip-hop in general.

i posted the entire letter. :sleep:

anyways.. executive producer or not his voice should have never been changed. everytime i hear a track i get this "empty" feeling that somehow its really no tupac, knowing eminem somehow messed with it makes me feel uneasy. This CD won't last long in my car.

i posted the breakdown of the tracks on page 7.

obviously there's some crappy beats and remixes while others that are pretty good but some have been butchered. Something like "ghetto gospel" is brilliant but Em pretty much copy and pasted Pac words and cut out 2 verses! That makes me angry like I dont understand why he didn't get Pac to spit out the 4 verses and let Elton John do his thing on the hook? whatev, i'm still bumping this cd in my car cuz a true Pac fan knows its all about the words just like previously mentioned.

-n. f.

p.s. i'm starting to let go of the fact that some of these tracks have been butchered. and to the comment about SUGE knight, if it wasn't for Suge, we wouldn't have more than half of the songs released after Pac's death so big props to Suge although he's a fat ****ing ******! One more thing, with suge being there, pac recorded MAKAVELI in 7 days... and that's my fav. Pac CD.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
