AEOM was done in 10/11 95. Some songs recorded were not used (Secretz of War, etc.)
February 1996-Pac recorded several songs with Nutsso & Go TWICE.
Dre left in February.
One Nation was reocrded in May June 1996
Makaveli is believed to be recorded Summer 1996.
RUSD was finished 1994. How could Pac say, Im saving this for DeathRow 2 years from now when he did not even know he was going to be on DeathRow.
I believe 2pac just recorded music for the sake of music. He intended to release all of them, but you can release so many at a time, this is why half of them ended up places other than albums. Soundtracks, Guest, B-Sides, etc.
RUSD was probably supposed to be released after Thug Life...but Ready To Die dropped and Pac made MATW...He didint say oh wel ill drop RUSD when im on DR.
Even in jail, where he plotted out the MATW Album (Ressurection Book), he could not know to release RUSD on DR..since he didint even have contact with Suge till Summer 1995 (4 months after he was in jail)
Pac wouldve said..when i get out (Sometime in the next 6 years) id love to release RUSD.
Suge wanted the fresh shit..and dropped AEOM.
At Pac's death (9/96) Suge again went with the Freshest shit makaveli.
