1. "Yea I saw that article too..I figure Suge took them out since he" In response to Reply # 0
owned the label..You know people say in the intro to Makevli it says "SUGE shot me".
I heard it was some more disses to Suge. Remember Makaveli was suppoused to be his "black" album and he was just going to put it out hence the name change and it was suppoused to be underground. It was more street more personal more Me against the world raw 2pac than the more radio friendly all eyes on me. Then he was going to keep releasing singles form All eyes on me to keep the buzz going.
2pac was trying to get the hell outta Death row as soon as his contract was up he saw that place was no good but he didn't get out in time.

>or at least know what was said.
of all rappers, the one that reminded me of him in that timeframe was Nas when he was just MAD at the world around the time of "Ether" (the Power 105 rant, the threat to hang Jay-Z in effigy and all of that).

I remember that rant where he was like "Nore I got love for you but your album is garbage, step your game up. Cam, you had a hot single but your album is garbage".
Then he went on about how with his next album he was going to school all these rappers on how to be men in this game, or some shit.
23. "Hahaha that is phenomenal material." In response to Reply # 21
I'm so glad The Takeover happened. It rejuvenated Nas' career because it pissed him the fuck off. Like "I'm the best MC in this game, and this is the thanks I get?"
Does anyone have links to any of these interviews? I don't recall them really but I want to see/read/hear them.
7. "Blasphemy might be my fav Pac song ever" In response to Reply # 6
>#3 Blasphemy is a DOPE song. Random? Yes, but had to say it.
and that might be his best "lyrical mcing" type song ever which is crazy that he might have been getting techinally better that late into his carrer. 7 day theory and makaveli 2 might have his best "rapping" out of all his albums.
I think cause he didn't have to please anyone that shit might have been really the first "mixtape album" you have now.
I mean they wanted the album to sell so they did change it up to make it sell more since they cash cow was dead now.

25. "I'd say he's had a pretty nice roster" In response to Reply # 13
especially considering he was pretty exclusive to rap-a-lot artists for most of his career.

one of the outlaws was saying they were listening to blasphemy in the car on the way home and pac was like "do you hear what i'm saying on this shit? i don't know how i come up with this stuff." like he actually freaked himself out.
ps mike dean has been the man since the rap-a-lot days.

19. "I thought "Toss It Up" was perfect on there" In response to Reply # 14
sure it was his radio track, but Jesus he sounds pissed off on it.
I think "To Live & Die in LA" is a little too laid back, and I would probably cut that (even though its a dope track) and White Mans World (just cuz its the only song I dont really like).
I wonder what the track listing originally looked like not only on this album but Life After Death also.
