When Tupac Shakur passed away many projects was in the work’s an album had just got completed under his alias “Makaveli’ his One Nation Album that was to feature East/West Coast Artist’s and Groups that were left in the dark. that all changed in 1997 an influx of unreleased bootlegged Tupac Death Row Material flooded the streets like a sight unseen “The Makaveli Bootlegs” featured some of the most brilliant pieces to ever be heard that made Tupac legend that 10 time’s raw and untouchable. rumors spread Tupac faked his own death to revenge a comeback on his enemies. Tupac always had a strange obsession with death and reincarnation always writing and talking about it.
Mopreme (Tupac Brother Collaborator/Thug Life/Outlawz Member) remembers it clear as day in an interview,
“If you listen Through his music there’s a constant death chant that’s because Pac would have dreams wake up screaming”
Snoop Dogg in an interview said “He wrote his death before it happened” he later goes on “Why would you do a video (I ain’t mad at cha) about getting killed then a week later you get killed”
Pac work ethic is the most talked-about of the last 9 months of his life. constantly recording song’s before and after album releases, most say you had to keep up to work with him if not you were left out of the song since he wrote the next song as the next beat was just being finished,
Here we take a deep dive into my personal favorite original bootlegs 15 songs’s broken down into 5's per article. in the words of the great Tupac Shakur “Follow Me!!”
1st: You Don’t Have To Worry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9s- B4luXH0 Produced by QDIII (Producer Quincy Jones Son) a suspense backtrack lushed with synths and keys
Feat The Outlawz original members including female member “Storm” Tupac give his view on how no love shown to his foes who once were homies as they changed up on him once they got a taste of success. and how it humbled him,
Pac: “Pass the fame and let the game go rollin’ past
Why you change, it’s a cold world taught me life”
2: Where ever U R https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaTlDf4rQDc Produced By Johnny J, Feat Big Daddy Kane one of Tupac's idols since he was young showcases them going back and forth over a Rick James Sample “Dance With Me” about how nobody can touch them lyrically and energetically,
Kane: “I’m recognized as the microphone destroyer
Competition minds up in the state of paranoia
I told him if you’re scared, go get a dog, so by tomorrow
You’ll probably see twenty rappers walking with Rottweilers”
Tupac: “Murdered them bastards, witness the past, got Boombastic
Now that they freed me, no one can see me
I completely eradicated my competition, Father forgive me
Assemble the troops, prepare my loots for combustion”
3: Reincarnation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFMx_O-s_Bc Produced By Darryl Harper feat The Immortal Outlawz
Tupac feels there’s a target on his back. his character is slightly unknown to some he has been an influence in many lives but not overall a point. his fear of death is being reincarnated so he uses his knowledge to spread his word of prophecy to reach the nation before he ultimately passes away
Tupac “My only fear of death, is reincarnation
I use my last breath, to reach the whole Nation
How can they call me a murderer for my spoken words?
This composition be my prophecy I hope it’s heard”
4: Last Onez Left https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuDnY2gCK8g produced By Johnny J feat The Immortal Outlawz
Tupac feels like a Don in his own right he is aware he’s marked for death so he’s going to live it up like it’s his last day left. but in the meantime where are all those who were gossiping while he was locked up? he got some things to get off his chest
Tupac: “Gettin’ high, wonder why we gotta die smokin’
My alibi, addictively
Like them other vile men, I’m marked for death
Spendin’ my nights like it’s the last one left; I’m an outlaw”
5: Until The End Of Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joEFW5SNanw Produced By Johnny J features a Stevie Wonder Love’s In Need Of Love Today sample
Tupac is not perfect by long shot but he is a thinking man and even though he goes through his personal issues no need to fear him he’ll remain solid through it all the up’s and down’s roundabouts until the end of time Pac is Pac
“Cause in the hood, true homies make you feel good
And half the times we be actin’ up, call the cops
Bringin’ a cease to the peace that was on my block
It never stops, when my mama ask me will I change
I tell her “Yeah,” but it’s clear
I’ll always be the same; until the end of time”
