Music reviews of Until the End of Time

Music Review: 3.5 STARS, NOT 4 (DUE TO WACK REDONE TRACKS)
Rating: 4 Stars

The worst redone tracks: Words 2 My 1st Born (This is a dope 'DJ Quik' beat, don't get me wrong, but this is another song altogether. The original version is jazzy, laid back, and just perfection. Plus, it featured Nutso, but this redone version sounds like another song and you don't get the same vibe from the original. Above The Law's verses are weak too.)

Thug N Me, Thug N U (To tell you the truth, they really messed this song up by putting bits and pieces of Pac's original lyrics, then adding K-Ci & JoJo. What they should have done is omitted this track from the album altogether and just included 'If You Play Your Cards Right,' then put K-Ci & JoJo in that song, which featured a JoJo- sounding vocalists, no Jodeci!)

When Thugz Cry (It doesn't take a genius to know that they really messed up the whole vibe of this song. Why don't the powers that be at Pac's record label understand that some songs you shouldn't mess with because you'll just mess them up.)

Why You Turn On Me (Don't the powers that be get it by now? The whole vibe of the original song is gone, plus the song was specifically made for Wendy Williams, so why did the omit the lyrics containing her name from the whole song?)

U Don't Have To Worry (The original had the same percussion as the original 'Friends,' but the powers that be had to mess up another song, I guess. What happen to Storm? I swear, I wish that somebody would leak CD-quality copies of the originals because the record label keeps messing up Pac's original songs.)

N***** Nature (If the original version was the one on 'Too Gangsta 4 Radio,' then they should have put that version on this CD instead of the version on this CD featuring Lil' Mo. I'm getting tired of the record labels messing up Pac's songs!)

The best redone tracks:

Happy Home (This song is tight. If you heard the original version, you would say that the redone version is way better. It sounds like Pac recorded the song a month ago or something.)

The ones that should have been kept the same: Runnin' On E (If they just remove the stupid piano chord, the song would be perfect. Who's idea to add that stupid piano chord was it anyway?)

Songs I heard for the first time that are the bomb if they were redone or not: Letter 2 My Unborn (The replayed sample is the same as the original 'Thug N Me, Thug N U' song, so you know what time it is. This is one of them Pac songs that you can't get mad at because it sounds perfect.)

Until The End Of Time

Let 'Em Have It f/ SKG (However, why did they omit some of her words?)

Ballad Of A Dead Soulja

Worldwide Mob Figurez. (Although, it's obvious that the Outlawz recorded their verses after Pac's death and the song is fake.)

Songs that sound 'alright' redone: F*** Friendz (I always liked the original version, but hated the 'Too Gangsta 4 Radio' version. However, this new version sound cool. Although, the vibe has changed dramatically.)

Overall, I'm glad that they released this 2Pac double CD, so I'll give it 3.5 stars (which looks like four), but for the next Pac CD, please don't mess up the original vibes, don't put the same songs with different mixes on the CDs, and don't replace Pac's chosen guest rappers with contemporary artists.
