na, i liked the added effects to it, and think it's the best one on there, but in no way do any of the nu-mixxes trump the originals.
nu-mixx highlights just how sloppy death row was with that release. they released two versions of a life goes on single for that album, yet no more than a handful of pac fans even know about them. the hit em up master is lost somewhere in the bowels of death row, forcing them to use the clean acapella. darren vegas' production is decent on a song by song basis, but when you have an entire album of his remixes they all sound the same (and all staccatto digital style). in the end, putting one or two of these remixes on the endless death row greatest hits albums would have made them better than forcefeeding us a little more than an ep of them.
i'll even go so far as to say that whoever thinks nu-mixx classics is a good album (barring a couple tracks) probably doesn't have the early albums and likely is a relatively new listener to pac's music. you should be shot for saying that the hail mary nu-mixx was better than the makaveli version.
he's no longer on the roster of death row producers. suge may have him under contract like he does crooked-i, but even suge knows that this guy is weak enough not to use again.
