Its weird the people who now control his music were intellegent enuff to relize that unconditonal love and troublesome were good enuff (without being remixed or changed to be on a greatest hits album) . why not use that logic with his other unrelased stufff

they were both unreleased songs I gues there thoughts were that theyve been hurd so many times on bootlegs that the bootlegs are equal to his albums. How can they be greatest hits if there unreleased ?


Then you take a song like never be piece ft danny boy that was a classic song, even nas mentiuoned it on his pac tribute song We will survive. Then they fuken changed it up on the bd album. Im pretty sure that sopng could have been as popular as changes

I gues pac fans just have to be patient eventually they will wisen up

I think it's pretty obvious the inclusion of the unreleased tracks was an extra incentive for people to buy it who already have all the albums the rest of the songs are from.

I guess your right. But im just looking for a explanation as to the reasoning for there actions, Why didnt they remix troublesome or unconditional love is it because a couple guys that control his music liked the songs the way they were and felt they didnt need to tamper.

stay wit me now, Why would a song like good life get to remain untouched on the UtEoT album yet a song like lil homies or friends gets a complete makeover. Where is the logic in that.

Is it there perception of quality, like do they listen to songs and say hey pac didnt sound to good on this hook lets get somebody else to do that part, If so and thats the case I would love to hear a interview with that person or persons.

There is a ton of different reasons as to why a song would be left as OG on a released Pac album or remixed, it could be to do with getting the sample clearances for the OG version, whether they thought it sounded dated or just plain whack, or whatever, no one except Amaru can know why a song gets remixed or gets released in OG form.


If your asking why troublesome and unconditional love weren't remixed, I have no idea, and none of us can know for sure, but they are both dope as fuck, and Amaru probably went through the vaults in 98 and picked those 2 out as 2 of the dopest unreleased tracks (which they are) and decided they did not need remixing

Why would songs like unconditional love and troublesome show up on a greatest hit

Greatest Hits album was put together by Death Row so that's why they left most of shit untouched and put Top Dogg on All About You instead of Snoopy

and why Amaru keeps remixing Pac shit? Cause that's where they get their money from, fool, Pac is their only income so of course they gotta fuck with his shit

Well i mean, when you think about it, the albums would probably sell the same whether they remixes most the tracks or not, so remixing the tracks, isn't really where the money comes from, it's probably more of a waste of money than anything really

I'm all for updating the beats, making it more modern, if they're done correctly and respectfully... BUT u're right... IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY WHEN THEY DONT DO SHIT TO PROMOTE THE ALBUM!

its not like the new tracks are getting much radio time or tv time.. NO MUSIC VIDEOS or piss poor quality ones like the Ghetto Gospel video... Couldnt they get footage of elton John playing on a piano at some church?

So yeah, its a waste of money when they dont promote the new tracks enough to sell the album anyways... Like I requested my radio station to play Pac's life, the new track, and they were like "yeah we'll get u some pac" They ended up playing How Do U Want It.

Pac is just selling on his legend status and his fan base...

I bet they get extra checks for making them songs sound more "modern"

how do you work that one out? is there some rich guy somewhere handing out 100's to Afeni & co for making the songs sound more "modern" as i said earlier the only way they profit off the songs is from record sales, whoch probably would be around the same whether they used OGs or remixes....Infact, remixing every track is gonna cost a hell of a lot more than sticking with the OG's.

if you look at it, the greatest hits album was the last one that didn't get remixed. even though it got a bit edited with troublesome, god bless the dead, and how do u want it, it really didn't get remixed. it wasn't until still i rise that shit really started getting remixed and then just went OD from there but yeah just thought i'd point that out 4 what it's worth

u gotta remember, amaru may have beef with the producers that produced the unreleased song. For example, Daz made alot of unreleased pac songs. If they release the song in the og form, then they gotta talk to Daz, and Daz will get paid.

They couldnt remix Unconditional Love because they dont have the master . troublesome i dont know about it
Troublesome had some elements taken out when it was released, so yeah, they have the master.

Yeah I know that... even if they did I'm sure it wouldn't have been remixed considering nothing on that album (besides Changes) was.

just because they choose to release a few songs in OG, they dont have the masters anymore?
if it sounds like it could pass for 'modern' or suits the vocals best, why not?

if you say the masters are missing, i want some solid proof. not just 'but dante said it...'

as for unconditional love, people assume the master is missing because the vocal isnt extremely clear. i dont think any improvement would suit the record. perhaps deathrow/amaru thought the same?
now that 'soon as i get home' is on the new album in original form, people assume the master is gone too...

give me some solid proof.

No one assumed shit, Unconditional Love sounds radio quality, it's clean, and.. what do you know, the part that has a radio tag over it is cut out in the released version. And I believe it's been confirmed before this album was even announced that Amaru doesn't have the Soon As I Get Home master.

radio quality? it sounds like it was recorded this way.
amaru/deathrow people werent sitting next to a radio recording shit.
this is the quality.

hypothetically:
if it was recorded from radio signal, they would know where it came from. they would have gotten the proper track promptly.
one radiostation doesnt just get sent tracks btw. and if, in this case, they did - they certainly didnt send them no masters. so-
someone has the masters somewhere. multiple people have copies of the 'proper' track on other mediums (CD etc).

i dont understand why they use a clean version on GH though.
