Up. Released on this day, 29 yrs ago.





Going insane, never die, I live eternal, who shall I fear?
Don't shed a tear for me, nikka, I ain't happy here
I hope they bury me and send me to my rest
Headlines reading 'Murdered to death', my last breath
Take a look, picture a crook on his last stand
Motherfukkers don't understand; if I die tonight

“keepin’ it real”

amazing album. But if i was nitpicking.
The production is just solid.
The songwriting more than makes up for it tho

i debate if his 2nd verse on Until the End of Time or his last verse on Me Against the World is my favorite.

Then that 1st verse on Temptations
that verse always has me geeked


Me Against the World/7 Day Theory
Thug Life
Until the End of Time
All Eyez on Me

my top 5 pac

 

[KING WILL]

Top 3 album for me.

Lands anywhere from 1-3 depending on where I rank AOEM and 7DT on any given day.

but yet UTEOT, with some horrid production and pop chrous's, do?

they ruined sooo many OG songs on that album.

from a thread last year

Its just something about the tone of the album that is honestly hard to describe. But ill try

songs like 2oamw, title track, ambitions. aint mad atcha. those are genuine 2pac tracks. they sound like vintage raw form pac.
not saying that they fit in any other pac era/album but they gave that same feel and genuineness.that other songs like blasphemy. It ain’t Easy or Pour Out Lil Liquor give me

songs like hearts of men, mind made up. no more pain,all about u, how du u want it. To me, these sound like they were gift wrapped for pac all he had to do was put the vocals on them. Especially All About U & How Du U Want It. they sound very cookie cutter and forced whereas a track like I Get Around sounds like pac had a blast playing this and recording and genuinely enjoyed the session

like all them posse cuts on that album not it. they really not. them shyts sound like something pac felt he had to make because its what death row was doing at the time

apart from ambitions & picture me rolling. That whole thug persona on that album doesnt sound real. Again to me sound like suge was in the studio with him and was guiding him. Now obviously i wasnt in the studio so idk what was going on but i’m just speaking from the way the music sounds to me in terms of feeling.

Its been said before that some tracks/beats were given to pac from other albums cause he was fresh out on bail so i feel like there is some sort of truth to what i’m saying

i can go on some more but i think you kinda catch my drift

to me Until the End of Time accomplishes what All Eyez On Me tried to. it does have some weak tracks but i’ll take the highs over all eyez on me any day

wild take i know. But the thug persona sounds way more real to me.
You can hear that hunger and authenticity of a son of a black panther thru tracks like ballad of a dead soulja, letter 2 my unborn, the title track(my favorite pac track)

Been playing this heavy again the last few weeks, this and Ka's Orpheus.. are my go-to albums when shyt gets rough. Would probably throw DMX in there as well.

Like I said when this thread was first made, one of the best albums ever any genre.
