THIS CD IS HORRIBLE. THE PEOPLE RAPPIN' ARE PEOPLE NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF. IT'S NOT WHAT SOME OF YOU THINK IT IS (LIKE MOURN U TIL I JOIN U TYPE STUFF!)IT SEEMS LIKE ITS COMING FROM A LABEL TRYING TO GET STARTED IN THE INDUSTRY-(PRODIGEE RECORDS)-AND WHAT A WAY TO DO IT,"LETS USE SOMEBODY DEAD AND FAMOUS, DEDICATE AN ENTIRE ALBUM TO HIM & SAY HIS NAME OVER A HUNDRED TIMES" ON TOP OF THAT THERE ARE A FEW SONGS WHERE THE RAPPERS ACTUALLY SAY STUFF LIKE "EVEN THOUGH I NEVER MET CHA". IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT FOR SOMEONE TO JUST BE LIKE "NEVER MET CHA-BUT THANKS FOR THA MILLIONS YOUR NAME JUST GOT ME" I'M A COLLECTOR-AND FOR ALL YOU OTHERS OUT THERE-TRUST ME -IT'S BAD- SAVE YA MONEY!

This review is from: A Tribute to Tupac (Audio CD)

This cd to me personally represents everything that 2pac stood for. He was all about getting a certain message across to those who did not know or had no knoweledge of the things happening in that part of the world. To many people think that 2pac's music revolved around him swearing every 5th word but this was the medium that he saw appropiate and the best way to get his message across. this has all the songs that u would expect on here and it really is true thug stlye music that will leave pressing the repeat button over and over again.This album has a compalation of songs that 2pac himself would be proud to have made. Buy this and play it loud. TIP ( thug in peace).

Yeah, '96 Casbah Records/Chocolate Street Records outta Ohio did a tribute cd straight away.. Sacramento based DHX Records in '98 did 'Is Hip Hop Under Survalance'? A dedication to Pac.. So they were far from the 1st.. GREAT ALBUM though.. Nice to hear some ol school southern cali Emcees like Big Meech puttin it down again! And Vegas Doomsday Productions affiliated artists among others! THey were inspired by Pac before his death, and certainly have the right to dedicate this to him! Speculation, but I bet Pac woulda networked with Doomsday Productions if he were alive. Great album, nice mix of the smooth and the hard hittin west coast beats!
