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.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
