    Pac got about a billion posthumous albums and they're all bargain bin tier, and he's still in that GOAT conversation. It's a difficult one to judge because BIG dropping mid is incomprehensible because he was such a top-tier lyricist who gave his projects great care.

    The What is arguably the best track on RTD and all people talk about is Juicy and Big Poppa because they were the commercial joints that biggie himself wasn't 100% about dropping. It was puff who motivated him to make that call

    His post albums were literally unfinished rando songs that werent even suppose to go together & cobbled together by his label & eminem lol thats not an indicator of nothing, & still some of those still have good songs & popular ones that became legit top billboard hits. His label would literally change out beats they lost, splice his words to create new lines, cut og feats etc. Only some songs on each post album are original or near original.

    The only post album that was legit & complete is 7Day Theory which is considered top 3 if not 1 of his discog along with MATW & AEOM.

    Let's not overly-exaggerate when it comes to Pac's posthumous albums. He only had two posthumous projects that flat out SUCKED, and they were "Loyal 2 The Game" and "Pac's Life".

    His other ones, like "R U Still Down", "Until The End of Time", "Better Dayz" and "Still I Rise", were all very good.

    Yeah but Em is a special case & its only valid to him

    Theres a lot of Rappers that fell off but had one or two crazy albums. Like Snoop who isnt a GOAT within music but loved as a personality.

    7 Day Theory isn't a posthumous effort for me because as you've noted it was mostly complete, and it's probably my favourite project by him.

    Posthumous albums don't sit right with me like i understand the estate trying to rake in as much cash as they can it dilutes the overall catalogue by dropping glorified cash grabs.

    Born Again by Biggie should have never been released because it's so unfocused, uninspired, and a capitalisation of a tragedy

    Ok lol so what was your point of the Post comment then.

    It seemed you were indicating that Pacs later future efforts alive would have been subpar because of his Post work that might have been for the future. Even tho most of them arent in the original state .

    Otherwise idk why it was brought up, & those post albums still sold crazy & almost every single one have a few legit hit songs.

    But yeah I agree, post albums suck. Theyre literally doing to XXX rn like how they did Pac. Cobbling together pieces, changing whole structures/feats & creating fake lines etc, its wild & sad.

    Pop Smoke too.

    Oh and his Outlawz group album came out a year or so after his death but that was also another legit album that was near completion before his death like 7Day

    It’s different with posthumous albums

  • May 30, 2022

    Most artist release just one or two great albums so it wouldn't be any different

    It’s different with posthumous albums

    Artists not getting creative control on their albums will always be wack to me, but i get why the estate would want to make as much money from it.

    With that being said quality control has to be considered. An artist recording a freestyle on instalive shouldn't qualify for a placement on an album just to fill up space.
