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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
