Soldier Like Me (Return Of The Soulja)
Length - 3:50
Rating - 5/10


As the Opening track the beat is alright. Nothing too amazing about the beat that gets you hyped. Tupac's spit is decent. This track doesn't impress too much. Eminem is on the hook and its a little bit upbeat. But still didnt help the track much. Just an average track, beat, and everything.

Uppercut
Length - 3:48
Rating - 8/10


The beat is much better than the first track. Start's off with a clip of Pac talking as most of his recent tracks do. His first verse is good. The hook is Pac and its a dope hook in my eyes.. or ears lol. The second spit is hot. Third spit features someone from the Outlawz (Don't know his name) but it's a good spit. This track lives up too some expectations by me and make's me more interested in the songs following.

Out On Bail
Length - 3:54
Rating - 8/10


Pac come's in basically living out the title of the track. The beat is up tempo and is good. Pac has a hot first verse. Flow is nice. Hook is alright. Same thing with the second spit. Basically this track is tight.

Ghetto Gospel
Length - 3:45
Rating - 10/10


Probably my favorite track on the album. There are two versions of this song. One with Akon and one with Elton John. I prefer the Akon one. Seems to fit the beat better. Anyways, the beat is fire. The spits are fire. The hook is fire. The track is fire. This track is probably one of my favorite's by Tupac. It's that good

Black Cotton
Length - 5:03
Rating - 7/10


The beat is an Eminem style beat. What more do you expect when he produced the album. But yeah the beat really sounds like Em's normal shit. Tupac spits his first verse with nice emotion and a good flow. Lyrics are nice. The hook has Eminem on it and is good. Second verse is by Kastro. Decent spit. The final verse is by Young Noble of the Outlawz. A short spit, it's alright.

Loyal To The Game
Length - 3:23
Rating - 9/10


Beat is hot. Pac's spit is dope. 50 Cent is on the hook. It's a decent hook. Young Buck come's in wit the second verse. Hot verse. Lloyd Banks is on the next spit and he has a decent verse. Basically Tupac and G Unit is a hot collab. A nice track here.

Thugz Get Lonely Too
Length - 4:47
Rating - 8/10


Beat is nice. Pac comes in with a good verse. Nate Dogg is on he hook and he tears it up. Second and third verses are by Pac too. They aint amazing but they are good. Pretty good track. Nate Dogg made it better with the hook.

N.I.G.G.A (Never Ignorant About Getting Goals Accomplished)
Length - 3:02
Rating - 5/10


By this time the Eminem type beats are getting old. So when the beat comes in your kinda bored. Pac is decent int he frist verse. Hook is blah. Not really existent. Jadakiss comes in for the next spit and helps the rating of the track. But if the beat was better then this track could be nice. Getting bored with these beats though.

Who Do You Love?
Length - 3:28
Rating - 6/10


Up tempo beat and it's good. Pac comes in with a hot spit. Hook is repetitive like classic Pac tracks. It's okay I guess. Second spit is good. Then thats the song. There's like 40 open seconds at the end for another verse?

A Crooked Nigga Too
Length - 2:55
Rating - 10/10


Beat is gangstuh. Foreal. Pac comes in with a Bone Thugs type of speed flow but you can understand him. First spit is dope. Hook is hot. Second spit is Tupac again and he is steady killing it. Third verse is hot. Seem's like the sped up his spits in this. Hot track though.

Don't You Trust Me
Length - 4:55
Rating - 9/10


Come's in with the hook by (what sound's like) that girl who sing on Stan by Eminem. But I'm not sure. The beat is slower for a more serious type of song. The first spit is good. The hook is nice. Second spit is hot. And Pac still kills it with the third verse. This track is hot. Definantly a chill song so relfect on with.

Hennessey
Length - 3:27
Rating - 8/10


Nice beat. Pac come in with a dope spit. And the hook is nice. This song features Obie Trice. And it's crazy how Tupac acknowledges him in the song . Obie has a nice second spit. This song is pretty good.

Thug 4 Life
Length - 3:04
Rating - 8/10


Sounds like an Arab type beat. But its pretty hot. Tupac comes in with a fire verse. Flow is insane. Hook is nice. Second spit is another good spit. I felt the beat helped this song out.

Po Nigga Blues (Scott Storch Remix)
Length - 3:39
Rating - 8/10


Sort of Thugz Mansion (Acuoistic Version) type beat. But its good for a serious song. First spiut by Pac is good. Hook is alright. Second spit is nice. Pretty good track.

Hennessey (Red Spyda Remix)
Length - 3:18
Rating - 5/10


Pretty much the same as the first Hennessey but a dif beat and no Obie. Edi and Sleepy Brown are on it. They come alright. I prefer the original.

Crooked Nigga Too (Raphael Saadiq Remix)
Length - 4:03
Rating - 7/10

This is alright. I still prefer the original because it's a better beat and more of a Tupac track. The hook on this track is decent. The first and second spits by Pac are good. Still feeling the Original.

Loyal To The Game (DJ Quik Remix)
Length - 4:20
Rating - 5/10


This beat is sooooo boring. First spit is decent but this beat killed the track. The original song was so much better including the spits. Pretty much the remixes on this CD coulda been left out.

Overall Album Rating - 8/10
