Tupac Shakur, the hip hop legend. A revolutionary, Poet, Actor, Lyrical master, and the best rapper there ever lived is back. Of course I haven't heard the album yet, but I'm just trying to open your views here. 2pac has had several albums come out. Each one has a specific feeling and mood to it.Starting with the Music. This album has about 13 songs produced by Eminem, who won an oscar for "Lose YourSelf. He also worked with Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother. Eminem had previously worked on the "Tupac Resurrection" album. We all know the beats are going to be incredible. If you probably liked the songs produced by Eminem in the "Resurrection"
; CD then there is a good chance you will like this one. Now with the lyrics. 2pac is the greatest lyrical writer I personally have ever heard, and millions also agree. The lyrics are going to be amazing. He always has a certain feeling with each album. Each album has some certain hardcore songs, party songs, serious songs and etc. Here are the tracks on the album:
1. Soldier Like Me (Return Of The Soulja) (Featuring Eminem) (Produced By Eminem)
2. The Uppercut (Featuring E.D.I. & Young Noble Of The Outlawz) (Produced By Eminem)
3. Out On Bail (Produced By Eminem)

Pro Reviews: Loyal To The Game
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Loyal to the Game, the ninth 2Pac album released by his enterprising motherturnedexecutive producer, Afeni Shakur, is one of the more unique entries in the martyred rap legend's extensive catalog. Produced entirely by Eminem, it carries on with the approach the man otherwise known as Marshall Mathers took with his production contributions to the preceding year's Tupac: Resurrection. Eminem had produced a few songs on that soundtrack, most notably the landmark 2PacBiggie duet "Runnin' (Dying to Live)," and his work here on Loyal to the Game isn't too much of a departure from the style of that song. In the wake of that song's popularity, Afeni gave Eminem some old tapes, and he went to work, stripping them of their productions, giving them his own trademark backing (characterized by his style of punchy, syncopated, unfunky beatmaking), incorporating some guest raps for secondary verses, and polishing them off with various sorts of hooks. Eminem's efforts here work, even if they aren't ideal. On the one hand, there's no questioning Em's integrity. He pens some reverent liner notes, explaining his position (or justifying it, depending on your viewpoint), and Afeni also pens some touching liners, likewise explaining why Eminem of all people gets the green light to produce this album in its entirety. And Em doesn't take his job here lightly. His beats hit hard and are well crafted, most similar to his more hardcore selfproductions like "Mosh" or "Lose Yourself." His hooks are also well crafted: he takes the hook himself on "Soldier Like Me"; brings in 50 Cent and Nate Dogg for "Loyal to the Game" and "Thugs Get Lonely Too," respectively; samples Elton John ("Indian Sunset"), Curtis Mayfield ("If There's a Hell Below"), and Dido ("Do You Have a Little Time") for other songs; and lets 2Pac handle his own hooks elsewhere. much different breed of rapper than Slim Shady, especially in terms of cadence and delivery. This is all the more evident because the source tapes of these tracks date back to the early '90s, when 2Pac was at his funkiest and least hardcore. (While the dates aren't provided in the credits, the original producers are credited: Randy "Stretch" Walker, DJ Daryl, Live Squad, and Deon Evans, all of whom worked with Pac during his early years, namely the early '90s, just as he was leaving Digital Underground and getting his career off the ground. Various timespecific references within Pac's lyrics are further evidence of this, such as passing references to the L.A. riots.) How much Loyal to the Game ultimately appeals to you will likely depend on how much you like Eminem. After all, this is as much his album as 2Pac's a labor of love, no doubt. If you're fond of his lockstep beatmaking and big hooks, you'll find much to like here, for Pac's rhymes are undoubtedly fascinating in any context, even at this early stage of his career. - Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide |

Pros: TUPAC
Cons: NOBAY ON THIS ALBUM ACTUALLY KNEW TUPAC EXCEPT THE OUTLAWZ
THIS SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE ANY OF TUPACS WORK, WHAT THIS IS IS JUST A COMPUTERIZED ALBUM WITH SOME PEOPLE THAT NEVER KNEW TUPAC AND TRYING TO MILK THE CASH COW USING HIS NAME. I AM ASHAMED THAT AFENINI WOULD LET HER SONS WORK TO BE HANDLED BY THESES PEOPLE. ANYONE WHO KNOW PACS PEVIOUS WORK CAN TELL THIS FAKE FROM THE REAL WORK.EMINEM IS GRAET AT WHAT HE DOES AND I RESPECT HIS TALENT BUT HE DOESNT HAVE THE TOUCH TO BRING BACK THE PAC WE HAVE COME TO KNOW.
P.S
I HEARD THAT THEY TOOK OUT SOME OF THE ORIGINAL RAPPERS FROM SOME OF THE TRACKS AND PLACED PEOPLE LIKE OBIE TRICE AND 50 CENT ON THERE. NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT KNOW HIM, BUT THEY ARE ALSO ALTERING HIS WORK BY USING COMPUTERS. ...
