An indispensable and definitive collection showcasing the passionate genius of the late rapper. The album's nonchronological sequence highlights the contradictory impulses that made Tupac's music so commanding; the 21 well-loved "hits," some slightly reedited for legal reasons, are accompanied by four previously unheard songs. Of the new material, the raw-sounding "God Bless the Dead" has been the subject of the most speculation, owing to its subject matter: a eulogizing of the late Notorious B.I.G.--a mysterious feat, since Tupac was killed six months before Biggie. And, making its first proper appearance on a Tupac album, the B-side "Hit 'Em Up" stands as the most intense outburst of pure venomous rage ever captured on tape. Whether he's waxing political, philosophical, or just plain paranoid, Tupac's empathetic, charismatic style remains unmatched. --Charley Gothic |

The one and only Tupac! |
2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. are the two best rappers in our generation (Kanye West could be the third best as well). And it's a shame that these two were shot and killed back in the 90's. These were true rap artists. 2Pac didn't sing about sex and cars and money. His songs dealt with discrimination, tough childhood, religion, love for California, family dysfunction, and much more. He was truly unique, and he and B.I.G. are still the best rappers of all time.
Here are my favorite songs from 2Pac
*California Love
*Dear Mama
*So Many Tears
*Life Goes On
*Changes
*I Ain't Mad at Cha
*To Live and Die in L.A. |

Great collection |
This is definitely overall a great collection of 2Pac songs. It contains lots of the classics which include some of my favourite songs by him ever such as Hail Mary and So Many Tears. Plus some very impressive unreleased cuts like "Troublesome 96" and "Changes", the legendary Hit Em Up, and the much better original version of California Love.
It's a very good starting place for anyone who's thinking about getting into Pac's music. However if it as my job to put together a collection of Pac's work, I'd probably just do a "very best of" you know because out of Pac's hits there are a few overrated tracks such as "All Bout U" and "How Do U Want It" It would be much better I think to make up an album consisting of his very best cuts which would have to include ones like Ambitionz Az A Ridah, Me And My Girlfriend, Pour Out A Little Liquor and plenty more. Infact you'd probably need more like 3 or 4 discs to make an album like that.
But anyway getting this wouldn't be a bad idea at all, especially if your new to 2Pac's music or even new to rap.

Not A greatest hits...lacks a few missing pieces |
|
I'm not gonna bash Pac or rap in this like most of the other folks did but I will give you a genuine review...whereas the songs are good on this album they lack the beauty of smile...Until The End Of Time etc etc...now I gave this a one specifically for that reason...to this day smile is played on MTV...be it Scarface or not Pac was in it...anyways...due to lacking them songs it was weak...it seemed slapped together |

A Strong Compilation |

A nice compilation. I'm not a huge rap fan, but 2Pac made some incredible music, and a lot of it can be found on this set. |
