PACS LIFE ALBUM REVIEW

PACS LIFE -- WILL BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 21st -- ALBUM REVIEW

Untouchable - (Feat. Bone Thugs N Harmony)
Everyone's heard this already, club banger - not really Pac's style. 6/10

Pac's Life - (Feat. Ashanti & T.I)
Popish beat. Not too bad, wasn't really feeling it, the original is much better! 4/10

Dumpin' - (Feat. Papoose, Hussein Fatal & Carl Thomas)
Here we go! This song is hot, the beat fits Pac's style. It brings back memories of Hail Mary. Carl Thomas does a good job on the hook while Papoose and Fatal rip up the track. One of the highlights of the album. 8/10

Play Ya Cards Right (Female) - (Feat. Keyshia Cole)
Decent. It's really refreshing to hear Pac's lyrics in CDQ. This song is a little RNB-ish, but it surprised me, I like it. 7/10

Whatz Next - (Feat. A3 & Jay Rock)
Hmm. Well, I'm a fan of the original Whatz Next, but this isn't too bad. My expectations for this album and this song were quite low, but this song is not bad at all. The hook is really good I think, and the guest appearances aren't too bad. 7/10

Sleep - (Feat. Young Buck & Chamillionaire)
Tupac spits fire on this track, but we've all heard the OG so we all know that. I'm not a fan of Young Buck or Chamillionaire, this track could have been much better. The beat doesn't really fit the lyrics. 5/10

International - (Feat. Nipsey Hustle & Young Dre The Truth)
One of the low points of the album. It uses 'World Wide Dime Pieces' lyrics, with some very low quality guest appearances. The beat is really missing something too. Not a good song. 3/10

Don't Sleep - (Feat. Lil' Scrappy, Nutso, Yaki Kadafi & Storm)
Here we go again! Another good song, of course Pac comes in with an amazing verse, and it's great to hear Nutso, Kadafi and Storm back on a Pac track! Lil Scrappy stops this song from bein' my favorite on the album. 8/10

Soon As I Get Home - (Feat. Yaki Kadafi)
Mmmmm, remastered original. I, along with hundreds of other die hard 2Pac fans have been waiting for this song in CDQ for years! It's an amazing song, and with Kadafi on it, it just gets better. Here we go, the big 10/10.

Play Ya Cardz Right (Male) - (Feat. Ludacris & Keon Bryce)
Not too bad. I like this more than the Female version, it seems a little less RNB. Keon Bryce gives it a good hook, and Luda comes with a nice verse. Once again, I'm just excited to hear this song in CDQ. 7.5/10

Don't Stop - (Feat. Big Syke, Yaki Kadafi, Hussein Fatal, EDI, Young Noble & Stormy)
Jesus, enough guest appearances for you? Good beat, and it's nice to hear 2Pac diss C. Delores Tucker and Bob Dole in CDQ :D. Overall it's a pretty good song, I enjoyed it! 8/10

Pac's Life (Remix) - (Feat. Snoop Dogg, T.I & Chris Starr)
Answer me this, how the f*ck are you going to have a remix song that sounds exactly like the other one on the album? I thought it was the same song until I heard the hook done by someone a little different. Snoops verse is okay. I don't like this song though. 4/10

Untouchable - (Feat. Yaki Kadafi, Hussein Fatal & Gravy)
Okay, now for all you alive theorists! The ending to Better Dayz is NOT an alive theory. The intro to this song is great, Pac basically calling out anyone who talks shit on the record to call him if they're ever in town, and ah, the famous, "Expect me nigga" words. I like this version of Untouchable alot more than the Swizz Beatz version. Great song! 9/10

Overall, I give this album a 7.5/10. Is it as good as it could be? No. Is it better than Loyal to the Game? Yes. I can't wait to pick up this album!
