2Pac's been dead for more than six years, and in that time his
estate has released a dizzying array of questionable posthumous
material--with much more to come in 2003, by the way (the liner
notes list documentary soundtracks, another unreleased double
album, DVDs, etc.). On the first disc's "Intro," an unnamed street
reporter wonders, "Where are these songs coming from?" After
repeated listens, your best guess would be from his unfinished
studio outtakes. Nevertheless, these tracks were apparently
recorded during his prolific, vexed Makaveli stage. "When We Ride
on Our Enemies" demonstrates much vitriol, as Pac's verses are
littered with fightin' words for rappers like Mobb Deep and Da
Brat. Likewise, "F*** 'Em All" hurls threats at the late Notorious
B.I.G., reminding fans of the time when media-induced East
Coast-West Coast feuds were way out of control. The ghetto Elvis's
tales of slum grandeur reach their zenith when he serves up his
explicit boasts to women on "Fair Xchange." Gripping. It's too bad
the first disc's last track, an acoustic version of "Thugz
Mansion," undermines much of the credibility of this project. When
Pac's alleged enemy Nas's vocals are mixed in to appear like he's
sitting next to Pac by a fireplace all warm and toasty, sharing
rhymes, you immediately smell the influence of executive producer
Suge Knight. The second disc is just as dodgy, but might resonate
more with new fans simply wanting to hear good beats and rhymes.
"Never Call U B**** Again" is a tidy love song that R&B crooner
Tyrese complements well, while the title track featuring Ronald
"Mr. Biggs" Isley provides a necessary escape from much of Pac's
brooding imagery. In the end, the quandary of this double disc has
nothing to with Pac but with producer Johnny "J"'s middling
G-funk-lite beats and Suge Knight's involvement. This one's for
collectors and curious onlookers. --Dalton Higgins
