Well, I have a few feelings on this as well.
On the one hand, I think the acapellas are great. What people like LM, Fatal, 3en, DJ Dant, assassin and all the others that make good quality remixes-that try their hardest to put out the best product they can possibly create. I think that might be part of what pac might have wanted, to have people put as much work into his music as he did.
On the other hand, pac did leave his family and closest friends in control of his unreleased music. His family is Afeni and whoever she puts in charge of the next project is who she thinks pac would have liked it. Who she puts in charge might not be who makes the track sound best, but I think that she is trying her best to keep on pac's legacy. People made jokes about her and how she "just cares about the center". Well, that is one thing that will preserve pac's legacy in a concrete form. (sorry, that was slightly OT) And technically, since Afeni is in direct charge of all of pacs music, all the acapellas that we end up aquiring are as illegally aquired as the bootlegs that come out. As much nice as it is to hear fresh vocals on released songs, for example mouseman's verse on N.I.G.G.A. or Sista Souljah's verse on Uppercut, its still as illegal as getting the original versions of those songs off the latest bootleg that comes out or buying the tracks off someone. Either way, the pellas that come out may do more justice production wise to pac-but Amaru loses money every time a new unheard song leaks. When Komradez leaked, thats one less song amaru can use to sell a record. Thats one more song that someone can say "I wont buy this, I heard the song on 2pacboard."
Just my 2 cents
