I understand what the producers were trying to do with this song, but it fails in every aspect. Thankfully, 2Pac’s pristine outro is still in tact, making for another good track. One of the only differences is Dwele provides the hook (and does a good job at that), but this track is slightly in need of the Outlawz. Maybe that’s for the better, as this song was/is an undeniable classic. Phil Collins classic sample is still provided, in this slightly modified version of the original. Decent at best.Ĥ.) Staring Through My Rear View feat. And although this track doesn’t really do anything for me, 2Pac’s verses are placed perfectly with the instrumental, giving it a new twist. Candy Hill’s verse is also not on par with ‘Pac’s. While the original features Johnny J’s signature sound, this is more of a solumn track, with an overdone hook. I’ll be the first to admit, I was never the biggest fan of this track. Hussein clearly steals the show, however, and proves furthermore why he deserves more credit. While also providing hook duties, 2Pac provides a classic (although short) verse dissing the Bad Boy camp (whose reference is unfortunatley edited out), taking you back to a time when the beef was hot. This track features the self proclaimed Outlaw Don – Hussein Fatal, who doesn’t dissapoint in the least. I’m going to go out on a limb, and say this is better then the original. Kurupt also doesn’t dissapoint, providing classic Westcoast flavor and a classic verse. Danny Boy is replaced with Butch Cassidy, who does a very comendable job on the hook, giving new life to the track. If anyone is familiar with the original (and as a ‘Pac fan, how could you not be?), they will notice right off the bat that this is very similar to it’s original version. The majority of this collection consists (much like “Nu Mixx Classics”) of ‘Pac’s Deathrow material.ġ.) Picture Me Rollin feat. This album is the official followup to 2003’s “Nu Mixx Classics”, and features more new production and features from (surprisingly) ‘Pac’s homeboys. In all honesty, I think even the most hardcore of ‘Pac fans are losing track of albums circulating from the deceased rapper.
