^ Was Road to glory leaked?

edit: Nevermind. I get it now :p With all those leaks I feel like all of 2pac's songs were gangbang raped on posthumous releases. I only like "As the world turn" hook instead of no-hook of the OG.

Are you crazy? This version is better than the UTEOT version :p
It's the first one I actually quite like.

I expected "As the world turns" to be slightly better. I thought that it had a hook of some kind. It feels empty without it.

They removed some of the most awesome Fatal verses on Still I Rise album. Actually the very "Still I Rise" track was raped by removing Fatal from it. That Fatal&Kadafi verse is amazing.

The remix to This Aint Livin is pretty damn hot, but I'm loving the original. It's one of those rare cases to me where Amaru actually didn't totally fuck up.

As The World Turns sounds super hot to me. It's the one I'm more excited about. The released beat keeps the same melody and similar drums, but the original is still a bit different, it imo makes the song a lot more heartfelt. It's rawer, and it captivates me more. God damn it is awesome. I just burned three new Pac CDs for the first time in years.

^ Yeah I also love that original vibe in 2pac songs but imo As the world turns lacks a hook/chorus. I expected it to have a different hook that's been replaced, sort of like with U Can be Touched.
The beat is VERY nice though. I just think that Amaru didn't fuck up that song much and adding a chorus wasn't a terrible move.

YES FINALLY!!!!!!! after all these years of waiting :) reappeared as the dog father is a reference to them being 2 of americas most wanted at the time in their music, something like that anyway, johnny j pissed at snoop at the time he was making the beat for the released? knew he had probs with deathrow/sug etc but why would he cut snoop out? answers on a post card please its probably something ive forgot over the years, but yes truley loving these leaks, so its pac day for me not doing shit but smoke and listen to all these great tracks

anyone think wide awake should release this aint living as a single or at least on the single of the new album? people especially youngens need to be hearing a song like this, theres so much wideawake could do with his music

e2a - prob a suge decision bout this aint living, no snoop references on this album please i hate him

After finally hearing the original version and hearing the missing words, do you guys think that "This Ain't Livin" was written for (and to be performed by) Snoop Dogg????????? 2Pac mentions "it's Snoop Dogg, nigga Pac, would you ride with me?", "I disappear and reappear as The Doggfather", "as I step in blue", "To all my dogs out there raising hell".

I know songwriters do this all the time by recording a reference track.
