well it counts as one album tho right? so thats almost 50 thousand copies. is that just in north america?

 

[khamla]

I think so (US count), but i dont think it counts as one album. Its officially two. But oh well, these can add onto Pac's total album sales. They'll help a little bit, along with all the nu mixx, poetry, and live albums.

 

[MarveL]

Those are sum shitty numbers indeed..
But not to bad for a singles count, since you only get 2 (new) tracks ..

Pac is played out in the stores, they betta release the next album only on itunes or the net, like radiohead did

 

[DarkPhantom13]

It counts as two albums Rahim. It's sad how low his sales are these dayz. Back in the day you knew a Pac album would go platinum no matter wat....now it wont even reach gold status!

 

[Kobe]

Those figures suck, even some indie artists haul more records on opening week sales.

Man, I could say something about how Amaru are fucking up 2pac's legacy but, I just cant bring myself to say Amaru are fucking up 2pac's legacy

Why can't you bring yourself to say it? Amaru IS fucking up Pac's Legacy and it's a known fact! The problem is that they are too fuckin cheap to pay for anything! As in pay for sample clearance, original artist on tracks, or in most cases they are too fuckin cheap to hire good producers to remix the fuckin songs! They would rather have some crappy ass producer come in and remix the songs for free so they dont have to pay anything. Which really fucks them over in the end cause sales figures show that Pac just isn't selling no more! And it's not Pac that people are tired of it's the crappy songs they are putting out. To this day i will go DJ at parties and i will throw on some Pac og's and people will start dancing all over the place then people come up to the booth and ask me where they can get those songs. Changed Man og alone got people dancing all over the place recently at a party i played at. If Amaru was smart they would listen to us "internet fans" and realize that everything they are doing is really just fucking over Pac's Legacy! FUCK AMARU!!!!

 

[khamla]

Amaru's promotion and advertising agencies hard at work.

 

[deepa_316]

^^ LMAO

seein them figures makes me very sad, wen the fuck are amaru gonna wake up and stop fuckin the legacy up, i know they never will but wot the fuck can be done to sort this shit, we gotta do summit!!!!

 

[manual1]

i didnt think it was going to sell at all

 

[ianyo2006]

Hopefully they are just trying to scrape up enough loot 4 a real release someday.......its been like six years or so since we got some REAL Pac in stores.

 

[Tha_JackaL]

Amaru's promotion and advertising agencies hard at work.

hahahaha Man ya really expecting these cd's to sell?
I mean didn't we already get a greatest hits cd?
We got ALL these songs already I mean how many times can you re-package the same songs, and sell em?
Seriously they just need to get a real badass producer to go nuts on 15 tracks, and put out a new cd of his un-released shit that's still in the vault.

They have at least 50-60 some tracks left I heard somewhere...

 

[EDouble]

Cross Of People Owning Greatest Hits/making Own Mix Cds Of Pacs Hits/not Knowing Two New Songs (or Not Care Buy The Collection For It Amarus Fucked Up So Much On Albums In The Past) Lack Of Promotion/& Again Seeing After The Last 2 Or 3 Releases Not Realize Its Not Another Remixed C.d.

Amaru I Believe Has Damaged The Shit. This Was Too Soon After Lttg/pac's Life

I feel ya and trust me, I understand everything you are saying. The thing is that the same points you are making here have been made on this board by you, me and everyone else on this board. No matter how many times you say it, I say it or we all say it and know it, they really dont give a fuck what we feel about 2pac's music.

'I'm picking the lock, coming through the door blasting.' 2pac: Tupac Resurrection

I just mean like whether you say it or not, to Amaru.......it dont mean shit. But, of course you already knew that :thumb:

Much love to all Dj's playing 2pac songs at parties to this day!!

 

[Rahim]

i think Amaru just might have some tricks up their sleeve, i guess we'll just have to wait and find out....

 

[khamla]

My real problem is that they dont know how to promote the shit! No promotions at all! The only time they really promoted was when Tupac Ressurection came out. No one knew any album was coming out when there was one.

 

[Rahim]

i think they should go more mainstream...not with the music but with the promotion..the music videos.....

lets bring Makaveli Records and takeover the music industry like 2Pac would've if he was still physically here with us.

Let's hire all the OG producers and people 2Pac worked with and let me direct them...all on Makaveli records.

Johnny Jackson, Gobi, QD3, Deon Evans, DJ Quik

if i was directing a pac album this is how it would be:

the original version of Late Night 95' would be re done (still left alone..but all instrumentation would be redone and modernized) and instead, Rihanna would be singing on it to build a bigger mainstream appeal. The original version of the song would also be available on a very easy to find single.


the music video would take place in LA on friday night...outlawz rapping...all the biggest celebs would be there...from madonna...to the biggest rappers...TI,...ashanti...anyone and everyone..even all of 2Pac's enemies would be their..jay-z....u name it....nicest cars..choppers, limos...everything....

and everyone would be partying at an outdoor beach club..drinking..having fun...outlawz rapping in the video.....alot of hot girls their....it would be the biggest mainstream appeal ever..theres a bon fire...people dancing around the logs....and everything


the name of the album would be called Makaveli Who? as if no one has even heard of him.....it would be nothing like the makaveli album....infact it would be a 15 track album like a mini version of All Eyez On Me....like pac said...death should be a happy thing..(not in those words)...but when death comes we should all go out and party..especially when celebrating for pac...its what he probably wouldve wanted us to do

nothing but bangers...


here is the tracklist (in no order):
2Pac - Makaveli Who?

01 Let's Get It On (TC MIKE TYSON VERSION) LEFT original...
02 Bury Me A G Solo Version (the isley brothers sample re done and modernized) produced by qd3
03 Tongue Kissin (the song re-done with Jon B on the adlibs
04 Late Night 95' featuring Outlawz and Rihanna
05 Rather Be Your Lover (featuring Paris Hilton)
06 Can't Turn Back produced by DJ Quik. featuring TI
07 Don't Go to Sleep (original version)
08 Playa Cards Right (original version redone by Johnny J, featuring K-ci and JoJo)
09 Run Tha Streetz (solo version), remixed by Johnny J with same mellow vibe.. and featuring Keyshia Cole
10 Too Late Playa (left original)
11 Makaveli Who?
12 Soon as I Get Home (remixed by qd3, OG sample redone and modernized...kinda like a hellrazor vibe...val young on the adlibs)
13 Till I See LA
14 Family Pictures (produced by qd3)
15 Friends (original version)

the second single and video will be Rather Be Your Lover featuring Paris Hilton. this will help her out and it will also be featured on her album.

2pac always left work for people...he gave people jobs...he made everyone and everthing connected...thats what they should be doing....


after that they should put out the One Nation album in original form. on makaveli records.

interscope should buy out deathrow. suge knight would be running everything again, but their would be more albums out now because intscope/amaru would own the deathrow catalogue....people would buy this shit.....this is what they need to do to make money, and keep Pac's legacy alive.

Hilton isn't talented like Madonna was. She ain't even dat erotic. I agree with your whole idea but you lost me with the Paris Hilton shit.
