This album never gets brought up. It had a lot of great 2Pac songs and the Outlawz sounded good too. It went platinum. Sold real CDs not this streaming shit. It has letter to the president, tattoo tearz, still I rise, baby keep ya head up, tear drops and closed caskets, Black jesuz, secrets of war. Good shit.

This track should be getting more burn than it has. They are shouting out all the legends we have lost. I’m loving this premo beat. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bPUk6FIIESI
I was reading up on Bang Em Smurf's wiki page, and apparently, he pulled out a Tech 9 on Hussein Fatal and Young Noble from the Outlawz outside a club for dissing 50 cent...https://hip-hop-music.fandom.com/wiki/Bang_Em_Smurf
What are ya'll thoughts on this? How do you think Pac would've reacted to this situation?
I like Tupac of course and Kadafi, Hussein Fatal, Napoleon, Storm, and Kastro but edi and Noble suck so bad and are a joke. Rap skills suck and clout chasers.
Mero said something like, Big Syke “sounds like a ghost” and that he ruined the “All Eyez on Me” track. Mero also talks about his old roommate that would blast the shitty posthumous 2Pac albums like “Nu-Mixx Classics”. Hilarious episode.
Thanks hive. Also, go get the audiobook of “God-Level Knowledge Darts” if you haven’t already.
Hi, I want to try clear up what happened between fatal and the remaining Outlawz.
From what I gather there was a falling out and they refused to pay any royalties to him because they either cut his verses, which I hadn't noticed until I saw that and, or according to someone (may have been kadafis mum?), Because "Tupac is dead so the Outlawz are no more" or to that effect.
Anybody know what happened?
Still I Rise is a collaboration album by 2Pac and the Outlawz. The album excludes some of the original line up of the Outlawz, including Hussein Fatal, who had left the group as he had refused to sign to Death Row. The album contains all previously unreleased, albeit remixed material. It was released on December 21, 1999, by Death Row Records and Interscope Records.
The album features production from 2Pac's close producers Tony Pizarro, Johnny "J" and QDIII, and appearances from Big Syke and Nate Dogg. The album features mostly tracks from Shakur while he was on Death Row.
"Baby Don't Cry (Keep Ya' Head Up II)" which features female group H.E.A.T. was the only single from the album. The song "Letter to the President" is featured in the film Training Day (2001).
