2Pac | Greatest Hits (LP)

Limited four vinyl LP set. 2pac's Greatest Hits is a posthumous album originally released on 24th November, 1998. The album's non-chronological sequence focuses on the highlights of 2Pac's career. 21 of his most popular tracks are accompanied by four previously unreleased songs: "God Bless the Dead", "Unconditional Love", "Troublesome '96", and the Grammy Nominated "Changes". The original mix of "California Love" makes it's first proper album appearance after initially only being available as a single. 2pac - AKA Tupac Shakur - is considered by many to have been one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time. Shakur is also one of the best-selling music artists of all time, amassing over 75 million estimated global sales. Much of Shakur's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues that plagued inner cities, and he is considered a symbol of resistance and activism against inequities.

Personnel includes: 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dru Down, Top Dogg, Syke, CPO, The Outlawz (rap vocals); Val Young, Nate Dogg, The Black Angel, Danny Boy, K-Ci & JoJo, Dave, Roniece, Roger Troutman (vocals); Eric "Kenya" Baker (guitar); The Piano Man (keyboards); Puff Johnson, Thug Life, Digital Underground, Stretch, Stacey Smallie, Shock-G (background vocals).

Jordan), "Winter Sadness" (as performed by Kool & The Gang), and "Friends" (as performed by Whodini). "Changes" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. Though posthumous albums are often only a record company's vision of how to make more money, 2PAC's GREATEST HITS is just what it promises; a collection of all his hottest tracks, chart toppers, and street jams. Tracks from his time spent on both Interscope Records and Death Row Records are included, as are three previously unreleased tracks, "Unconditional Love," "God Bless the Dead" and "Troublesome '96." Among the numerous hits from 2PAC on this generous two-CD set are "Brenda's Got a Baby"; "Keep Your Head Up"; "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," featuring Snoop Dogg; and "How Do You Want It," featuring K-Ci & JoJo. Among the other standouts are "I Get Around," featuring Digital Underground; "California Love," featuring Dr. Dre; and "Dear Mama." 2PAC's GREATEST HITS leaves you with the sad feeling that one of the world's greatest performers left the planet way too early.
