I Just bought this yesterday and I have to say this is an awesome CD, well worth the 21 dollars. So if there are any Rap/Hip Hop fans in here, pick this one up its one of the greatest especially the song titled:
"Broken Wings"- Listen to the lyrics you will see 2pac\'s message.
These songs aren\'t like the current rap songs, which almost all are stupid, "Cash Money Millionaires"?!, Fag\'s.....all they rap about these days is about how much money they have and how many $3 dollar hookers they can buy.
But anyways, get this CD its titled "Until the End of Time".
-
i love tupac, is this hes album or is it just a compelation cd or is he just a guest on the album???? you know on like one track. is this gonna get released in the uk?
-
GR81- check on Napster for the original bootlegs of most of those songs, for many of the songs the original (bootleg) beats are much better - message is still the same though :)
Mackavelli/7 Day Theory is still his best album, IMO. I generally don\'t like Hip-Hop or Rap, but Tupac is an exception, truly one of the greatest artists of our time, most people have never really and truly listened to his best work (\'Brenda\'s got a baby\', \'White man\'s world\', \'My girlfriend\' etc) and just group him with DMX, Puffy and the rest of those idiot rappers.
-
<--------You can probably tell that I like the greatest rapper of all time, 2pac.
-
Nice to see there are other Tupac Fans in this forum.
The best remix of Tupac\'s songs I have seen is with the "Hyptonize beat"
Artist: 2Pac and Snoop Dogg
Title: Hyptonize Remix
D/L its awesome!!
-
Yeah, I already have it. It\'s great. I have it called "Wanted Dead Or Alive".
-
there is one song of his i cant find, ive searched everywhere, i think its scareface ft makavelli, i cant remember the name of the song anymore, maybe it will come to me later on, but the video has tupac on a cross type thing, i seem to remember it being all loadsa rope tieing him on, and a boy comes to hes feet. does anybody remember this song, and what album it is on as i simply have to have it :D
-
I do remember the video but not the title. It was a "bluish" color scheme in the video with a 2pac imposter on a cross.
-
i thought it came out when he was still alive, maybe im losing my mind :nut:
-
I had a Tupac CD but I perfor Nitorious BIG more but anyways is it me for Do some artist\'s do a lot better in "death" such as Bob Marley who has probably had about 6 albums out since his death, Tupac has I think 3 albums plus a book of poetry after his death and Nitorious BIG had 2 albums but the second one was already completed. Anyways just asking if anyone ever found that odd.
-
How is it that Tupac has more Albums coming out now that he is dead, then any two normal bands/groups put together?
Im confused.
-
Because he made a crap-load of songs before he died, and there are still a ton of more bootleg songs that still haven\'t been released. He was so young but he wrote so many damn songs, and each one of them is better than anything most rappers can make today.
His best album IMO - 7 Day Theory was written and recorded, apparently, in only 7 days, he slept an average of only 3 hours a night.
"The only things that come to those that sleep are dreams."
JC632X would probably be able to enlighten you more than I regarding Tupac.
-
I know that he made a lot of songs and shows how dedicated he really was to his profession unlike a lot of today\'s modern day rappers. Who allegedly "write" their own material. It seems like all they do is remix remix remix...cough...puff daddy....cough.
-
Indeed, like I said I\'m not a huge fan of hip-hop at all, but Tupac was a true poet - if you get a chance to listen to 7 Day Theory some of those songs are incredible, you can\'t shake your ass to all of them, but often I just stick on my headphones, lie down and just listen to the man speak. The same goes for many of his bootlegged songs, and 2Pacalypse Now, truly amazing and truly underappreciated.
-
Yeah, LISTEN to his words! If you are down, they are truly powerful and will lift you up. Its amazing how listening to his songs who can hear the many different moods he was in when he wrote them.
-
Man. All those gangsta\'s go round cappin\' each other. It\'s really stupid and juvenille. I won\'t buy any of Tupac\'s garbage
-
hes not puff daddy anymore hes p diddy. he stole that name from me and my freinds! we call my friends dog that and have it on tape( befor he changed his name to pdiddy). damn you puff daddy....

Not all of his songs are like that. Take the time to listen to him and then judge, you will like it.
-
Untill the end of time was a good song though. I did buy that CD, and tupac\'s poetry book
-
Listen to 7 Day Theory if you get a chance, that\'s an excellent album.

100% agreed, I hate tupac.I It\'s boring music !
all rappers suck....sorry . Just my opinion

It\'s you\'re opinion, but it\'s uninformed because you probably haven\'t heard all the songs/albums I mentioned. Did you know that the University of Berkeley offers a course that examines the poetry of Tupac Shakur. I don\'t know too many common day musical artists, nor rappers for that matter who have University Courses based upon their work.
As he says in one of his songs; "Don\'t have to bump this but please respect it." No mention of *****es nor hoes. It may be boring music to you, and that\'s fine because it\'s musical taste, but not all rappers and not all rap sucks.
All you\'re probably heard are the shake-your-ass songs that were released for the general public. This is not your fault, it\'s just the result of the bastardization/commercialization of hip-hop, thank you Puffy, and thank you Marshal Mathers and his pimp Dr. Dre.

That is your opinion and your opinion is not fact. Tell me what do you listen to?

may i ask you rap experts what Lil Bow wow is???...is it some snoop dogg spinoff?

you might know
alice deejay - better off alone
Darude - sandstorm, (yuck!!)
PvD - For an angel

Snoop gave Lil Bow wow his name when he "discovered" him at a concert. That is the only connection.

I have never heard of any of that.
I think most of the people that hate rap don\'t even listen to it.
-
Did someone mention Cash money and 2pac in the same sentence?
NEVER i repeat NEVER do that. Crash monkey records are getting wacker with each album they release, and at least 2pac put thought into his raps. CMR can go sign all the Ho Limit rappers, and they will still be wack as ****. **** CMR 2pac for life.
BTW- I used to like CMR that is until they started all that Bragging bull****. Man can\'t go any lower then bragging about how much Money, cars, Hoes, Plat teeth, Jewerly you got. CMR is pathetic.
-
Hell Yeah DarkGamer. Its like that with a lot of rappers though. That is why Pac is still the greatest of all time IMHO. I think BIG is a close 2nd cuz Puff corrupted him with the shiney suits and all that bullsh!t.
BTW, For those who don\'t know, there is a difference between RAP and Hip-hop. Rap is a musical genre and Hip-hop is a lifestyle. So don\'t judge hip-hop culture by some wack as rappers. Basically, don\'t judge a book by its cover. At least check the table of contents cuz their is a lot to learn.

Saying all rap sucks or is "gangsta" is a huge generalization and uninformed. While, I do not like most rap or hip-hop, I agree that 2pac could write some lyrics that were heart felt. I do not agree with alot of the things he done though. Still, I don\'t agree with Janet Jackson\'s fake tits, but it doesn\'t make me hate all pop music.
I personaly have a broad range of music, nothing is off limits if it makes me think or has emotions to it. I love classical / rock /heavy /some rap / folk / etc.
I think music today has taken a huge decline. Remixes galore, piss-poor-poetry, rythmless / pointless music. It seems most songs have the verse, which is maybe 3 lines at most, then go to chorus, verse (3 more lines), chorus then more chorus for a total of about 3 mintues. And for the most part, the music and lyrics are recycled trash. What about N\'sync? How many times have we all heard a bunch of guys singin\' to a girl how he will never hurt her? Way too many! It has been done. Not to mention it is a complete lie, as no matter what, you will hurt someone, though maybe not on purpose. How many times have we heard some girl sing about a guy cheatin? ALOT! Still, it isn\'t so much the subject matter that is lacking, it is the execution--the lyrics. When I listen to mainstream pop music, I don\'t feel anything. I feel as if someone is singing something that is totally unrelated to them and for the most part is.
In general, I have NO respect for someone who doesn\'t at LEAST write their own lyrics.
-
I listen to Polka. Does 2-pac have any Polka albums? cause if he did... boy howdy would I pick that up.
-
Still, I don\'t agree with Janet Jackson\'s fake tits, but it doesn\'t make me hate all pop music.
[/B]
Well L-I-C i just don\'t agree with you here. Those tits look finger-lickin-good. Janet is so fine there is not one thing I would not lick off of her.
-
This album is the bomb.
If only he was still alive then atleast we still would have a good rapper. The only good ones left are The Jungle Brothers and Lauryn

I have to admit, that although it says, "OFF-TOPIC" at has to atleast be somehow related to Playstation 2, after all this is kind "PSX2CENTRAL.COM"!!!
-
:laughing: Are you serious? It is called psx2central but this is the OFF-TOPIC forum. Meaning it is OFF the topic of PS2. Get the logic?
Vulcan, Don\'t forget Mos Def and Dead Prez.
XBOX, Truer words have never been spoken.

OFF TOPIC means anything goes (within the rules). It doesn\'t have to be PS2 related in any manner.

I feel the rap industry is not as good as it was, when 2-pac, was about, it was about the music, you listen to the songs he done you can hear how clever they are, how much though has gone into it, they told a story, i hate pop music its so fake, with song that mean nothing, and the fake pop stars doing what ever there producer tells them to do,now its just about the money and advertizemnt, i blame that gimp puff daddy, when he came out i though he was o.k, mainly cause he done the grand master flash song, but i cant stand the bloke now, hes so fake, i hope he goes down for that gun thing. I love old rap like grand master flash and the furios five, the message is what made me love rap music. also the original rappers delight is so cool, i used to know all the words, but i cant remember them all now
