You have to remember Tupac basically recorded albums overnight.He did All Eyez On Me in 3 weeks...A DOUBLE DISC! Most rappers take years to do a 10 track album.The Makaveli album you're reacting to now, he recorded in 3 Days.It was originally supposed to be Makaveli The 3 Day Theory, but they changed it to 7 Day Theory because the sound engineers took an extra 4 days to mix it...And Tupac wasn't into conspiracy theories.The term "Killuminati" is actually anti-conspiracy theory.Tupac felt being "spooky" or paranoid about conspiracy theories rendered you powerless.He believed in practicality.He said instead of talking about the pyramid and all seeing eye on the money, JUST GET THE MONEY.Fuck the symbolism on the dollar.Get the money and that gives you power.Sitting around shaking in your boots about some clandestine group controlling your life is a waste of time.Killuminati meant killing those thoughts in your mind.Breaking out the spell of skepticism.It can make you stagnant and maybe even lose hope or confidence.
@@BehindThatSuit Thanks.I'm even more wowed by your review.Best I've ever seen regarding Tupac or any of his albums.Totally awesom.I enjoyed every second of it!
Life is good indeed! Thanks for still coming through and checking them. We ain't gonna stop doing this any time soon XD It's been a weird year, but a lot of good this year. Hope all is well with you.

@@SoundBiteInc- that is super interesting, if we do that it'll likely be on Twitch as I dun wanna playy with the copywrite bots on CZcams. But that's super interesting, if you join the discord we can figure that out.
@@BehindThatSuit what’s the discord? It’s an audio interview btw. And just to give you the backstory…. It was suppose to be the basis of PAC’s autobiography. By the time the interviewer had gotten the deal for the book….pac was in the hospital fighting for his life
against all odds best diss track of all time lyrics were absolutely great. also blasphemy is great if u actually understand the lyrics. when he says ‘ there are 10 rules to the game’ he is metaphorically talking about the 10 commandments
@@BehindThatSuitThat song is very complex. It'll take many listens to fully grasp everything. It'll take some research and studying tio. Gotta be absolutely tuned in when listening. I really want somebody with a big platform to dissect and decode the whole song.
Dope Reaction! Yall was pretty accurate! Also Nas took the same beat Pac did for the song All Eyez On Me, Nas use for Street Dreams off It Was Written. If yall can review 2Pac Me Against The World, that's his best album.
Thanks so much. It means a lot to see that. Cuz we did do Me Against the World awhile back and my attitude did not yield this kind of comment. I didn't understand Pac's message yet. Maybe there's something we can do, to redo it in some way, I'm not sure. Thanks for the Nas thing, very cool, I'ma Googld it.
@@BehindThatSuit 4sho ! I also like to mention Pac 1st album 2Pacalypse Now would be a good review. I haven't really seen no one breakdown that down, plus it's very much underrated album of his.
@@charlescarter1859 now you'll likely see that review come later this year. We try and space out the artists a bit. But given this review went so well I wanna return to Pac. We wanted to make sure we could do it without pissing folk off!
I think 🤔 you two need to listen to STILL I RISE by Tupac and the Outlaws that album gives you a fuller picture of what the outlaws bring to the table in its fullest album as a complete album and project. I bet you will love that album it’s one of my favorites by Tupac period! Enjoy 😊!
@@BehindThatSuit it’s classic you will like 👍🏽 it I promise especially production wise it’s ahead of this time came out in 1999 after he passed away his mother put it together and put it out after fighting with Suge Knight in the courts for a few years for the rights to Tupac’s music and legacy etc. The outlaws sound way more focused on that album and they have more conceptual songs than on this album. When you listen to it you will think they are better on that album than this Album. You could hear the growth between the two albums and I think they completed it after Tupac passed away it was half done by the time of his death then completed once Afeni got the rights and masters to his music. They took their time with completing that album and went HAM on the production side of things in particular.
@@jonathanbarnes7641 Very cool context indeed. While I do want to get to his posthumous stuff, I think the next Pac album is gonna be the first one. But now I'd like to run through his discography.
Well just check it out when you get a chance it’s better than his first album in my opinion it’s his last completed project he was working on before he passed away czcams.com/play/PL05A051B417315990.html
You don’t have to like him to appreciate him if you like rap. The game , Eminem, snoop, meek mill, drake among many other will cite him as influence and how many people have they influenced. Hail Mary is classic so many rappers have quoted that “I ant a killer But don’t push me..”
I like MATW better than Killumanati. I’ll say MATW has songs that aged worst compared to Killumanti. The lyrics & songs on MATW connect more to me. But at the same time Killumanti was a good album. Pac was at his most angry in this album
When I listened to Me Against The World for the review i was super in a bad head space and was less into the Outlawz. One day I need to return to these albums and see what I think after years have passed and things have evolved so much for us. I also got see Young Noble live recently which was really cool.
@@BehindThatSuit TBH I’m not a fan of the Outlawz too much either. MATW had songs that aged well but their was songs didn’t age well so much like F the World, It ain’t Easy where the production sounds old. The production on Killumanti sound more polished but on MATW many of the songs are more memorable
@@BehindThatSuit I don’t think your criticism of MATW was bad. For the most part, I think you liked MATW, you just didn’t like how contradictory MATW was & I think that’s a legit criticism. This contraction is more apparent on “Young N****z” where he speaks to the black youth & telling them to put the guns down & stop the violence & gangbanging but then ends the song with “Outlawz” telling the black youth to have a criminal mindset being an outlaw which doesn’t make a lot of sense. I think Tupac’s music can be polarizing cause he’s not necessarily a conscious rapper like a Kendrick or J Cole, he’s s gangsta rapper with conscious themes and there’s always a conundrum with that concept cause every positive message you put out has to have some cynicism to it because you have to keep it real for the streets & the streets frown upon messages that are too positive
@@anthonycelestin3559 I really appreciate that comment. I think I could have handled the topic better still. For awhile i let my own morale code guide certain things. I think Tupac paints a really human picture. At this phase of my lfie I see the conflict between trying to do great and the general dirt of moving forward in life. The contradictions hit different I guess. Back then I was living more in front of a computer pushing these reviews, lately i'm at shows performing and being around people. You realize how complex the human spirit is. But yeah it does take awhile to wrap your head around it. I really appreciate you, I know I felt a way when we recorded this, but it took a while to figure out how to articulate it all cleaner.
I think there was some good commentary on this album. Although this album in my opinion is not a standout album I do think it's one of those albums that helped bring Hip Hop to the forefront. I would give it a 4.38 & great review.
Also Tupac real and secret girlfriend is Lisa Left Eye Lopez. Don't bother being tricked and swayed over Jada Pinkett's feelings for him or any other girl. He "is" and still "is" dating Lisa. They are both alive. I have pictures. Lisa changed her name to Fatimah (Liz) e.
Tupac Amaru Shakur isn't his real name.. this is a character his mom Afeni created for him. Tupac is short meaning Too Program and Control. His real name is Lasane Parish Crook. His name itself has meaning Lasane = Language Parish = To Seek Crook = another word for Outlaw. Thing about it his character is somewhat based on his real name.
Take notice.. how this album seemingly is named Makaveli and not Tupac. Why is that? Because he secretly had his new stage name written on the album. take the 1st letter A in M(A)K and look at the word beneath Killuminati you get (Akil) tupac change his stage name to Akil The MC of Jurassic 5. He isn't dead he alive. If you don't believe me go to google and type in Akil The MC teeth and boom you'll get revealed its him
@@BehindThatSuit I never stopped listening to the new songs that came out. Everytime I felt bad because people believed he was dead as more songs came out. He used coverman to make more songs. Like on the Blac Haze album. Then he spoke about Obama in a song that came out in 2013 or is 2014? The song is called Another Man Down. Go check that song out. It's really really good.. he released it in response to when a cop killed a black kid in Ferguson that year.
@@BehindThatSuit bruh DONT pay attention to this clown. Pac is gone. Makaveli was suppose to be a new alias for different type of music he was doing outside of the typical “2Pac” music
THE GREATEST RAP ALBUM EVER RELEASED HANDS DOWN 🔥🔥🐏

Wrong He Recorded All Eyez On Me in 2 Weeks
The aggression on this record is ominous you can tell the end was near I think pac did as as well hence "exit 2pac enter Makaveli"
Great point :)
Pacs Best album imo
It is a really really strong project, I still have to hear a few more, but I really love the energy.
Great review guys, love to see the channel growing and u guys still always putting in work and going in depth on these reviews, hope all is well

The real beautiful part of the album cover is the cross is filled with every nation of hip hop. East west north south
THat is something I completley missed, thank you so much.
@@BehindThatSuit could you all react to the last interview Tupac did? It’s called Tupac Shakur the last interview.
@@BehindThatSuit Every time this album went platinum; pac was gonna put money up for a community center

why would in any world and you know how Pac was and his beliefs and you think Edi his homeboy would be talking about a little girl 😑
Please react to 2pac interviews it's full of knowledge
Interesting idea, thanks!
