Best Of 2Pac Part 2: Life [PA] [Digipak]

Performer: 2Pac
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: PART 2 of this 2Pac greatest-hits collection, which was assembled in coordination with Pac's mother, Afeni Shakur, combines some of the iconic rapper's earliest solo material ("Brenda's Got a Baby") with his best-known hits ("Keep Your Head Up") and a healthy dose of posthumously released cuts ("Ghetto Gospel," "Never Call U Bitch Again," "Still Ballin'"). LIFE also features the original solo version of "Thugz Mansion," as well as the previously unreleased track "Dopefiend's Diner," which finds Pac's flow mimicking the Suzanne Vega favorite "Tom's Diner."

Beginning his career in the early 1990s as a member of the Oakland rap-funksters Digital Underground, 2Pac rose to become perhaps the single most controversial figure in rap music, easily equal in popularity and notoriety to Snoop Dogg on the West Coast and sometime rival Notorious B.I.G. out East. Taking his moniker from a South American revolutionary, 2Pac managed to embrace themes of black self-determination and social conscience without dulling the edge of his thug image. Achieving almost unrivalled popularity while alive, 2Pac had a penchant for religious and iconic motifs, ensuring his status as a rap martyr after his murder in 1996.
