I remember these very same reasonings when L2TG was about to come out and Em was announced as producer.
I'll say the same thing I said then--I would rather never hear a new 2Pac release again than have to put up with this shit. What kind of fans are you, thinking it's OK for someone like 50 to be allowed to even TOUCH 'Pac or be allowed to promote 'Pac. Do you think he's gonna care about getting the right producers? Do you think he's gonna want to keep the OGs? Do you think he's gonna want NOT to have G-Unit and Mobb Deep and Eminem on there?
This is fucking pathetic, 3 albums straight of Eminem/50 bullshit? It's time for someone else to be able to executive produce a 'Pac album instead of those idiots. I mean...
Why not Snoop?
Why not Kanye?
Why not Scarface?
Why not Ice Cube?
Why not RZA?
All 50 wants is his name forever carved into the 2Pac legacy. Like it or not, 20 to 30 years down the line regardless of whether his career is finished by then, some kid will pick up a 'Pac record and be like "Oh, so this Eminem guy was important to the 2Pac legacy as well. He executive produced a lot of 2Pac albums I see." Do you want that to happen with 50 too?
This is essentially what's gonna happen with the Chimp coming on board.
Like Dante said...how the hell is Changes the most popular 2Pac song out there amongst the masses, and yet it was a posthumous release with NO GUEST STAR?
How the hell did RUSD sell 4X platinum and L2TG didn't register a blip?
You don't NEED idiots like 50 coming on board to market and promote 'Pac. The man is more than capable of doing it on his own, with solid songs and singles that focus more on just 'Pac than the side-distracting guest stars or 3rd parties who in reality are all in it for themselves.
All I can say is, I hope to God this turns out as false as that rumor of Jay-Z being on Better Dayz.
