Death Row is one of the worst things to happen to hip-hop and this three-quarter-hour garbage is yet another confirmation. The label remixes ten random songs from 2Pac and puts on it some impossible-to-listen rhythms that overwhelm the rapper's voice all the time and ruin everything possible: the production is done directly by Suge Knight and his friends, including a guy named Cash. The record is a further blemish on the legendary MC's discography and legacy, however, the poor and intolerable quality of the product doesn't stop its rise in the charts, finishing in the top 15 on the Billboard 200, fifth among rap albums and second among independent outputs.
Koch guarantees worldwide distribution of the tape and the record is heavily marketed in markets where hip-hop culture is relatively new and the name of 2Pac is known, but not adequately explored yet: Taiwan, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Australia. Universal is often behind it. It also comes out in Western Europe, France, with a messy tracklist. It's such a bad product that you have to put in a lot of effort to read the title on the cover, and it's one of the few albums where printing has cost more money than create the music itself. Never recommended, 0/10.
