Music reviews of Better Dayz

Music Review: OFF DA HOOK!!
Rating: 5 Stars

Im a Tupac fan as much as the next man but no way is my review biased. I mean this is up there with albums such as "All eyes on me" and " me against the world".
Sure the beats are not the original tupac beats but it is still one of the best albums I have ever heard. I tend to review tupac albums in two categories, Amazing and good. Albums such as All eyes on me, me against the world and better dayz would for me be categorised as amazing and others such as 2pacalypse, remember me and until the end of time would be in the good category. Not that those were bad albums its just that maybe on them you had songs that you skipped but with albums such as all eyez on me and better dayz there aint a really bad song and thats the truth.

My favourite songs off this album are as follows:

STILL BALLIN- this song is just a thug tune fo real. I mean the bootleg version is ok but I gotta hand it to the person that made this beat cos its totally bangin. Trick Daddy also does a fine job with his single verse.

WHEN WE RIDE ON OUR ENEMIES- This song is reminsent to Tupac's hit em up. I mean it's no way as good (what tune will ever be?).It is a very personal song and is one of my personal favourites off the album. And I actually like the beat. Its kinda dramatic music put in wid gangsta lyrics. Its hot!!

NEVER BE PEACE - I like this tune. Its got a kinda arabic - asian theme to it. The beat is good and tupac's lyrics in this song are excellent. The best part of this song is the end for me. Where he just tells everyone why there will never be peace and you can kinda be persuaded here that he is right.

THUGZ MANSION FT NAS (ACOUSTIC)- yeah, well alot has been made of this song. After all tupac didnt like nas much. This is actually a good song and its kinda a really good song to chill to. It aint amazing but its one of my favourite songs just to chill out to.

CD 2

MY BLOCK (REMIX) - Man o man. What can i say about dis tune right here. This is by far the best song on the album. It is his second single off this album and im tellin ya its unbelievable. Don't try downloading it cos u will either get a looped version or maybe a bootleg version that wernt that good to be honest. This song is just brilliant. Its got 4 verses which is unusual but its just the tupac lyrics and then the children singin in the hook that makes this song so good. Its kinda like the song changes in a way, cos he talks about emotional stuff. If you like songs like changes, dear mama, life goes on then you have to hear this. The best!!

THUGZ MANSION - the beat to this is hot. the lyrics are similar to the acoustic version.

BETTER DAYZ - at first i thought this song kinda weird. But after listenin to it a few times i started hearin the lyrics for what they are, They say there is a clue in here about his death but i dunno.

U CAN CALL - Nice song with pac and jazze pha on the hook. Its a song about pac waitin for a trick to call him.

FAIR EXCHANGE REMIX - Hot hot hot. Its a sex song. Just like the song he did wid kaci and jojo. Cmon baby bounce on me. woooooo

THEY DONT GIVE A F*CK ABOUT US - This song is the second best song off the album. I mean ya gotta hear dis. Its so real and its what tupac does best. Ya never see a ja rule or jay z doin a song like dis cos they wouldnt know how. Tupac was a leader and he could see this kinda stuff and he brought it out in his lyrics. Purely amazing.

There is also a hidden track if u can call it where pac is allegedly sayin he be back.
Thats the list of songs. It aint all of em its just the ones i like off the album. It may look like a lot but its pac and the quality of his songs is amazing.

If ya wana get to know pac for his music i suggest maybe you purchase the greatest hits cd or maybe all eyez on me as most songs on greatest hits are from that album and I also suggest you buy this cos its another one of the albums that people will never forget. Its made its mark with all eyez on me and me against the world.

truly a masterpeice.

Description of Better Dayz

It's too bad the first disc's last track, an acoustic version of "Thugz Mansion," undermines much of the credibility of this project. When Pac's alleged enemy Nas's vocals are mixed in to appear like he's sitting next to Pac by a fireplace all warm and toasty, sharing rhymes, you immediately smell the influence of executive producer Suge Knight. The second disc is just as dodgy, but might resonate more with new fans simply wanting to hear good beats and rhymes. "Never Call U B**** Again" is a tidy love song that R&B crooner Tyrese complements well, while the title track featuring Ronald "Mr. Biggs" Isley provides a necessary escape from much of Pac's brooding imagery. In the end, the quandary of this double disc has nothing to with Pac but with producer Johnny "J"'s middling G-funk-lite beats and Suge Knight's involvement. This one's for collectors and curious onlookers. --Dalton Higgins
