the outlawz were dope. and even when they lost their best 2 members, they were still solid. lets not act like this was a max b situation where gang green & french montana would ruin everything.
the only tracks the outlawz ruined are the ones they shouldnt have been on. the ones that didnt fit their style at all. its like youre listening to a mixtape where they let the original verses play thru, and then somebody comes in and starts freestyling at the 3 minute mark. thats what alot of those tracks sound like. the problem is, there were alot of them. pac shouldve had a west coast and/or a midwest rapper in his stable to throw on half of those tracks instead.
and yea, theres alot of songs where pac shouldve had more verses. "hail mary" wouldve been a goat record if it was just pac. thats not a knock on the outlawz, cuz their verses werent bad. they just didnt fit on that track. meanwhile, makaveli was pac in prime form. possibly at his peak, and hail mary was the signature track. then when youre waiting for that GO HOME 3rd verse at the end, pac is nowhere to be found. and instead, here comes the outlawz freestyling in bad audio on a "retail album". not their fault tho.
