"This is yet another posthumous release by 2Pac which raises the question, where are these songs coming from? It's interesting how the message in these songs is still relevant today. I can feel the energy in the air as they count down to midnight. When the album will officially be released. Oh, hold on. I think they're starting to countdown now." - 'Intro' Here we go. Another double-album to revisit. As I said in my review of 'Until the End of Time', I don't know why the labels thought they'd release all of these double albums, but they did... This starts off really well. I think 'Still Ballin' (Nitty Remix)' was one of the first Pac songs I listened to and it just bumps. 'When We Ride on Our Enemies' is hard and another great way to help kick the album off. However, from there the consistency drops off. There are lots of good tracks, but the really high moments are sparse. On the first listen I was somewhat bored with this but double albums always take some time to digest. You can't spin this once and form a valid opinion on it. If you check this out on a streaming service, make sure you don't forget about 'Late Night', produced by DJ Quik, that has been removed from those platforms. It's one of the strongest on the album. Nas' 'Thugz Mansion' gets a lot of love. I'm definitely in the minority in not feeling it, but the production just never does enough and there is no hook to it. I prefer every remix of it I've heard and it's no different here with the mix on the second disc working much better. Disc 1 Best Tracks: Still Ballin' (Nitty Remix), When We Ride on Our Enemies (Briss Remix), Mama's Just a Little Girl (KP Remix), Late Night The second disc kicks off with two great songs as well, with the remix of 'My Block', again produced by Frank Nitty, featuring a soothing chorus. The production is simple but works really well with Pac's raps. And then there is the better version of 'Thugz Mansion' that I alluded to earlier. There is no Nas, but everything else about it is better including the one and only voice of Anthony Hamilton murdering the hook. From there, the consistency is fairly good, but the disc hits its peak towards the other bookend with Johnny J producing the final four songs, three of which are well worth going back to, and before that is 'Catchin Feelins', another highlight from the album. I love the type of dark production featured. This is the better disc with fewer skips. Disc 2 Best Tracks: My Block (Nitty Remix), Thugz Mansion (7 Remix), Catchin Feelings, This Life I Lead, Who Do U Believe In, They Don't Give a Fuck About Us As with Pac's previous posthumous double-disc albums, there is fat to trim, but there are still lots of worthy songs, even if Pac isn't heard as often as we'd like. After revisiting all three of Pac's double-disc posthumous albums, there isn't a lot between them. 'Until the End of Time' has the most amount of poor moments with some that don't feel like Pac would have ever put them on an album. This project doesn't have those problems. This is another credit to Pac's work ethic and talent that so many outtakes made for great music. Beats: ★★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★★★
