Pac’s second verse is dope too, and even the members of the Outlawz who showed up for the final part of the song did a good job. Krizz Kaliko borrowed it as the opening line for his verse on my favorite Tech N9ne song, Dysfunctional. That opening line from the first verse is super iconic. I really like the first verse from Pac a lot too. It’s a really dark instrumental that I’d expect to hear in a Gravediggaz song or something like that. Anyway, I’m gonna start off by talking about the production. I’d have to give it some thought to decide which song of his is my favorite.

It’s probably not my number 1 favorite Pac song, but it’s definitely up there. It’s easily one of my favorite songs that Pac ever made. This is obviously the song I was referring to in the preamble to this review. Hail Mary featuring Kastro, Young Noble, Yaki Kadafi & Prince Ital Joe produced by Hurt-M-Badd I’d probably like the song if the production wasn’t so shitty, but I just can’t fuck with this one. Like I said, the only aspect of it that I really like is the first verse from Pac. Overall, I actually think the song is very mediocre. They dissed Nas, Jay, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Xzibit, and probably some other people that I’m forgetting. None of the lines really stood out that much to me though. They dissed a lot of niggas on this track, which is kinda cool I guess. Again, I like the first verse from Pac, but aside from that it’s not very good to me at all. I think that song is awesome, so I was looking forward to hearing the sequel, but it just did not work for me. As the “Second Reply” part of the title signifies, this is pretty much a sequel to Hit ‘Em Up, one of the most famous diss tracks of all time. Mean & Young Noble, but Pac did his thing on that first verse. I’m not crazy about the featured verses from E.D.I. It’s really a shame because the other aspects of the song really aren’t bad. It might actually be the worst beat I’ve ever heard in a Pac song. Mean & Young Noble produced by Big D the Impossible & MakaveliĪs I said, I was expecting this to be the best 2Pac album, so I was really shocked when I heard this track. Bomb First (My Second Reply) featuring E.D.I. I’m probably never gonna listen to any of the other posthumous albums like Pac’s Life. This is the last album I’ll be reviewing for the 2Pac marathon. It’s not one of those situations where the record label just splices together a bunch of unfinished recordings to make a Frankenstein monster of an album. Anyway, the album was released two months after Pac’s death, so it’s technically a posthumous release, but I’m pretty sure he had already finished making the album before he died. It really bothers me because “The Don Killuminati” makes no sense. I guess it was all just written out as “makaveli the don killuminati the 7 day theory” and whoever was in charge of that shit just didn’t speak English very well. Pac wanted his new alias to be Makaveli the Don. Basically, some important people fucked up and misread the artist name and album title. The album is technically called “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory,” but it was supposed to just be called Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, so that’s what I refer to it as. Y’all probably already know which song that is because it’s one of the most popular songs he ever made. Before listening, I was legitimately expecting it to be my favorite 2Pac album just based off of the one song I’d already heard from it. Just like with the first few Pac albums I reviewed, I actually listened to this one before writing about it. This album was released on November 5th in 1996, the same year as All Eyez on Me.
