Dre isn’t played on this one either it cut off while he saying “Where my Down South niggaz At, Where my east side niggaz at”. The diss at the end when he go off on Dr. “Watch Ya Mouth” is a little different from beat break down a little differently on this one and it plays the interlude of the news reporter talking to a fan (The same interlude they had before “To Live & Die In LA” on the retail version of Makaveli). The “Bomb First” song don’t have the intro where the guy is slandering people like Nas & Jay-Z. Johnny J was a beast on them beats! RIP to Johnny J! This version of “When Thugz Cry” is basically the same as the version on one of my mixtapes but it is shorter and it doesn’t play the Nas diss at the end… On the beginning of “When Thugz Cry” the original sample play before the beat kick in. The guitar is played different and it is more singing from the guy on the hook.Īlso it is a unreleased interlude on here that start before “When Thugz Cry”. “White Man’z World” on this one is different too. You’ll notice a difference between “Krazy” from this album compared to the 7 Day Theory version. Anyway I decided to post up the original version of the Makaveli album with the original songs and original version from my collection. Volume 10 is coming soon I just been busy as hell with life. I do apologize for the wait for Volume 10 of the 2Pac Unreleased & Original Compilation series …. Of course our resident Tupac fan, P-Body, pays respect. The album was certified 3x platinum in April 1997 and then 4x Platinum on June 15, 1999. As of 2004, the album has sold more than 5 million copies in the United States which makes it one of the highest-selling Hip Hop albums of all time.Sidenote: Today, September 13th, 2011, marks the 15-year anniversary of Tupac Shakur’s death. In the second week of its release, it dropped to the number two spot, selling a strong 250,000 units. The album peaked at number one on the Billboard 200. The album generated the second-highest debut-week sales total of any album that year, selling 664,000 within its first week in stores. Dre & Nas.Īlthough Shakur insulted rapper Nas on “Intro/Bomb First (My Second Reply)” and “Against All Odds”, rapper Young Noble, who appeared on several songs on The 7 Day Theory, stated in an interview that the Nas song “I Gave You Power” served as a main inspiration for Shakur’s “Me and My Girlfriend” Rappers insulted on the album include The Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, Q-Tip, De La Soul, Dr. Some songs on the album contain both subtle and direct insults to Shakur’s rivals at the height of the East Coast – West Coast feud. Shakur’s style of rapping is still emotional, but is intensified throughout this album. While All Eyez on Me was considered by Shakur “a celebration of life”, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is a much darker album.
