2pac's new album.....

[MadHandle]

Yes, he is dead but 2Pac recorded a lot of unreleased tracks before he died.. He recorded about 5-10 tracks/verses daily and all his unreleased work is with his mom.. Eminem asked if he could have the chance to put it together and with her permission he produced the new album..

2Pac will have another album dropping January 31, 2005 titled "Ready To Die", ironicly the same title Notorious B.I.G. used..

2Pac will also have about 4 other albums dropping in 2005 alone

I don't think they should be droppin 5 tupac albums per year or whatever their plannin to do. Eminem as a producer is a joke...guy even made pac say "gunit", "em" or whatever on a digitally enhanced track. I think their dragin pac's legacy down the toilet. Their releasing all those albums to cash off a dead man. There is a reason why pac never used those verses on his old albums...

And as for rap today....weelll...there isn't much to say that hasn't been said. Your right, 2004 was the worst year for hip hop...commerial hip hop. And this new game album is gonna be like 50's last one. His gonna push units...a lot of it. Then his gonna sell out like 50 cent and be on the PIMP pt.2 I'm feelin him right now thouhg...I been followin him since he released live from compton.

As far as 2Pac goes, I think Eminem did a good job and the right thing with his verses.. I mean, it's kind of weird how he made him say "Em, G-Unit, 50, Banks, Obie, and Jada" but look what else he did.. He made a great album with outstanding production.. How can you say Eminem as a producer is a joke? As of right now, he's the best one. Dre's beats have been getting too consistant and played out. Listen to Eminem's album- all of the Dre beats seem "boring" but look at Eminem's beats. He's reached Dre's level in a few years and probably passed him. He's done some incredible beats- "Moment of Clarity" for Jay-Z, "Till I Collapse"- Obie Trice's album, few song's for G-Unit. He has one of the best beats and his one of the best producers.

The Game is nothing special though. His lyrics are something you can sit back and enjoy- nothing great. If he doesn't have a good beat, it sounds like crap. You can expect a bunch of bangers on his CD because of Dre's production- and because of those beats his album will sell.. He has enough hype to make him sell like 50 Cent but don't forget about the one artist in Shady Records who had the best album than anyone in his camp, best production/lyrics, but didn't have the 50 Cent hype.. Obie Trice!

I feel you on the game issue, but I'm gonna stick to what I said about em. I simply think his cashin off pac. Gunit is gonna get bigger though. I think they got beef with Dblock now...you know...lyrically..their gettin murked, no doubt about it. StylesP and the rest of Dblock will manhandle Gunit, but thats gonna make them seem all hard and their reputation is gonna get better. People will lisntn as long as there is beef involved and thats what Gunit is lookin for right now. And Obie trice...I think his pretty average, I haven't lisnt to his cd though, so I'm gettin my judgement from his radio hits.

[One-Way]

That's the thing- Obie Trice has no radio hits and that's why he's so underrated.. Buy his CD and listen to it and you'll realize he is NOT average.. The only radio hit he had was "Got Some Teeth" and that's because Eminem didn't promote him as good as he did with 50.. Obie Trice > 50 Cent.. That's the truth

For 2Pac, I don't think Eminem is cashing off him in any way. He's not really making any money except for the production but if he didn't make that money with 2Pac, he would've made it somewhere else- producing for another rapper.. Eminem wanted to produce 2Pac's new album because he wanted it to be done in it's original own way, or else different producers were gonna touch it and it would've been a little weird..

For the G-Unit beef, I don't know how it's gonna look like. 50 Cent says he has a diss song to Ja Rule, Nas, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, and Kelis. If he does get into it with all of them, his reputation is gonna drop. Who's looked up to more- Nas or 50? Nas is lyrically gonna ruin 50's career if they beef. Fat Joe & Ja Rule can't do much but Jadakiss will also do a lot of damage.. If G-Unit beefs with D-Block, G-Unit is gonna lyrically get murdered.. Eminem isn't getting involved because he's cool with D-Block, Fat Joe, & Nas, and because of this, 50 Cent relies on himself and G-Unit.. We'll see what happens though

[MadHandle]

If I get the chance I'll donwload this Obie album.

Nah man I think your wrong. 50 will lyrically get murdered, but his career won't be damaged. Just look at who his fans are...they think his hard. They think "ohh he must be a G...he got shot 9 times" and this beef with the whole rap industry...literally will make his image better. So people will go out and buy his new album just to see whos gettin dissed next...

[One-Way]

I think you got me wrong.. I said 50 Cent will get lyrically murdered.. I agree with you on it, you read wrong, lol..

And don't download the Obie album- buy it! Support it! It's the only album worth buying!
