    Blasphemy is arguably his greatest track ever, and it was tracks like this that separated him from other greats.
    Top 3 for from the album:
    1. Blasphemy
    2. Hail Mary
    3. Me and My Girlfriend

    this was the album that introduced me to hip hop..i was 10..Pac died, kids at my school were crying over it and i had no idea who he was...still remember one of my friends saying "Big Poppa killed 2pac" ....that christmas i got a boom box...i asked my friend for something to bump and he gave me this cassette...didnt really know what Pac was talking about but my mind was blown....since i heard it so young, the album just got better with age as I started to understand everything and catch things that were over my head back then...plus the tape was warped, and my radio was mono or some shit, so i first heard the album slightly sped up with none of the background adlibs ...so once i got the cd and a decent system, it was like a whole different album..mind blown twice lol
    top 3:
    hold ya head
    me and my girlfriend
    blasphemy

    I believe an element to the name change was that he didn't own '2pac' the record label (interscope I think) did, so he was breaking from their chains and control. This can be seen in the change of tact from AEOM to the seven day theory. The FBI have files showing him being told to drop the revolutionary stuff and stick to party/gangsta rap and just enjoy the money.
    Great breakdown, my fav would be blasphemy. I kinda wish they hadn't added toss it up and kept when thugz cry (the original version not the released one) on it, but they wanted a single to release..

    Love the released cut of the album, in fact I had the remaster CD and bought the ORIGINAL CD after that since OG pressings typically sound better, this one really does! But question, I have a copy of the 3 Day Theory Demo (MP3s) with 14 tracks, I’m wondering if that’s the correct version that hit swap meets, burned and designed disc art and case art since I also love some of the stuff on 3 day. I’ve seen 18 tracks listed on another version, 20 or 21 on another, but the 14 I have flows so seamlessly that I can’t see it NOT being the original. If there’s anyone who’d know it’s you guys! 😎👍🏻

      @@rappinandsnackin Hell even if you want one of the copies I have I’d be happy to press another one up for ya! Love the content, your videos have certainly helped me out with getting the right pressings of some of my favorites! Actually had the Australian version of the Marshall Mathers LP coming because of The Kids, I thought that was the only pressing it was on but I hate that it’s on the bonus disc and not the actual album disc, thanks to your video on that album I saw that the song was on the ACTUAL disc with the UK pressing so I just ordered that one too. With the Slim Shady LP I just ordered the original to replace my copy I bought at the mall years back (repressing), I know there’s a version of My Name Is with the teacher and the alien lines uncensored, but there’s also another explicit version where that’s still changed. I’m wondering if my copy coming will have the “banned” version or the normal explicit one, I’d love to see a breakdown of that album collection if you have one!

      Also here’s the order of my version of the 3 Day Theory (for my CD pressing I converted the 320kbps MP3s to full blown WAV and burned to a disc, sounds solid for sure!):
      1. Bomb First (OG)
      2. Hail Mary (OG)
      3. Krazy (OG)
      4. Watch Ya Mouth (Unreleased Original)
      5. To Live & Die In LA (OG)
      6. Friendz (OG, different than the Too Gangsta For Radio version)
      7. Blasphemy (OG)
      8. Hold Ya Head (OG)
      9. Lost Souls (OG, nearly identical to the Gang Related soundtrack version)
      10. White Manz World (OG)
      11. Niggaz Nature (OG, same situation as Friendz, different from Too Gangsta For Radio)
      12. Against All Odds (OG)
      13. Hidden Track (more of the radio static and radio chatter as an interlude)
      14. When Thugz Cry (OG, TOTALLY different beat from the remix album it ended up on and WAY better as for most OG versions of Pac’s work)
      Each track flows into the next better than the actually released album too ironically enough, I’ve seen other versions with demo versions of the released tracks too like Me & My Girlfriend, Toss It Up, but they never seem to fit into the mix like the version I have. Weird situation I know 🤣🤣
