| What’s current, folks? In an era where the conventional music video has arguably decreased in significance to artists and record companies alike in marketing a single to the masses, there still exist recording artists, directors, and other cast and crew members on the front line to keep the cameras rolling.

| Here is Volume 2 of 2Pac’s recordings from the past. It was very hard making these compilations, because I have so much of his recordings and I want to make sure fans get to hear the real Pac stuff. Volume 3 will be out soon so stay tuned. The first few songs were recorded around 92-94 [...] |

| Yea, you don’t see a “[Review]” at the end of that title up there for a reason. That’s because while I’m a huge fan of The Roots and Wake Up! is a good album, it only has like 4 to 5 rap verses on the whole album. So unfortunately, Wake Up! won’t get reviewed here [...] |
