Anybody else feel like PAC's The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory album has aged the best out of all of his albums?

[Travellin' Man]

I think PAC's statement album or where he found his voice is Me Against The World but as I listen back to The Don Killuminati album tonight for the first time, in a long time, I'm reminded how well the album's production has aged. Crazy how the production was coming from a collective of producers who were deemed "wack" or lower tier producers of the label.

But for example, when i Listen to songs like these songs, they still sound light years ahead of the future














The way QDIII flipped that sample of PRINCE's song "Do Me Baby" was genius, cause it doesn't even sound like he sampled it until you really zone out and listen to it



Been a minute since i read through the making of the album from XXL's segment on it years ago. I remember buying this issue when it came out too.

Been a minute but listening back to these old interviews with the engineer now

Dope album but you picked some of the worst songs on it lol. I think MATW is probably the pick. Thug life still sounds good. Anything prior to that you can kinda tell the era it was made in. . Just my 2 cents

The last 3 albums he made before his departure will forever remain timeless.

that's YOUR opinion

i picked those songs because they're great examples to ME of what im talking about. it's the live instrumentation on these songs that make them still sound so new.

And the underlying achievement of him
making something of the producer’s available to
him

no rap album sounds like Makaveli to this day. It's his best work.

Death Row had a great team of producers. Probably better than Bad Boy but that could be it’s own poll thread

At one point Suge had DJ Quik and Daz within arm’s reach

imagine if they tapped DJ Quik for that project instead? would’ve been something entirely different

The original White Man’z World beat is so much better

First time hearing this

First time hearing this

This is from the original 7 Day Theory that he completed right before he died. It has a slightly different tracklist:

1. Bomb 1st
2. Hail Mary
3. Krazy
4. Watch Ya Mouth
5. To Live & Die In LA
6. Friends
7. Blasphemy
8. Hold Ya Head
9. Lost Souls
10. White Man’z World
11. nikkaz Nature
12. Against All Odds
13. When Thugz Cry

They changed the White Man’z World beat and took a few songs off after he passed, I think it had to do with sample clearances

I agree with this. Makaveli is my favorite 2pac album.
