2pac greatest hits album torrent download

Even with these misgivings taken into account, it has to be said that Greatest Hits does its job well. Sure, Tupac Shakur had more than enough hits to make a terrific compilation, but its appearance in the fall of 1998 felt a bit like another opportunity to milk his catalog, simply because of the plethora of releases, from previously unheard recordings to interview discs and bootlegs.

Clearly, 2Pac has become a cash cow for those who control his catalog too bad the product being milked annually is almost without exception of poor quality and appears to be hastily or indifferently assembled.

The Best of 2Pac is simply more product to stock at your local big-box retailer (two separately sold products, in this case), and it's no wonder that, like many of its posthumous predecessors, it was released during the holiday shopping season. With the well-compiled Greatest Hits double disc still on the market, there's no need for a lesser collection such as this (though a single-disc definitive best-of collection would have been welcome). Truth be told, The Best of 2Pac is yet another in a long line of posthumous cash-ins apparently overseen by 2Pac's mother. This posthumous material may be worthy of release, but a 'best-of' collection sure isn't the place for it, especially one as skimpy as this, where the two separately packaged Thug/Life CDs could easily be combined into one single-disc collection if the latter-day productions and remixes were cut. For every classic like 'California Love,' there's a latter-day remix such as the newly produced version of 'Dear Mama' on the Thug release or the 'previously unreleased' song 'Dopefiend's Diner' on the Life release. Whereas that first collection had been fairly definitive, featuring 25 songs from the late rapper's prime, including all the key hits as well as the non-album favorite 'Hit 'Em Up,' The Best of 2Pac features four fewer songs, and of the 21 songs spread across two packages (less than an hour of music per disc), about a quarter are posthumous productions or remixes. The separately packaged two-part Best of 2Pac series released in 2007 absolutely pales in comparison to the double-disc Greatest Hits collection previously released in 1998.
