blame afeni,i respect her but at the end of the day it is her fault, she might not no much bout hip hop but she could have asked an industry insider for help, i mean, i doubt its hard to find someone that could have given her a list of producers.
heres how i would have done it.
1.get someone to give me a list of producers who have had a lot of history(worked wth various artists)
2.send each of these producers accapellas and a letter informing them that a pac album is in the making and if they want to be involved produce some beats for the acapellas.
3.recive the beats and get a panel of judges(Pac fans,mature ones that have a vast knowlege of hip hop and pac) to decide whether or not it matches pac style.
i kind of feel the reason that afeni selected em comes down to 2 things.
1.He said he would do it for free
2.Hes eminem, his name = sales.
