2Pac — Pac's Life

in
By James Simons (CHARTattack) December 5, 2006 2:37 pm

2Pac — Nu-Mixx Klazzics

in
By Jason Richards (CHARTattack) October 21, 2003 11:07 am
There’s something offensive about this 2Pac remix/re-release album, but I can’t quite put my finger on what.

Really? This guy says he only got $2,500 to allegedly shoot Tupac? Doesn't that seem a little low to you? Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta's solo album will feature guest appearances from members of Lamb Of God, As I Lay Dying and All That Remains, along with Black Label Society's Zakk Wylde. Play it around your mom to annoy her. Metallica are...

Next major trend: orchestras playing indie rock. Case in point: The Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra. Watch them do The Black Keys' "Tighten Up" and MGMT's "Time To Pretend."

What do you think would appear on a MySpace playlist created by the Vatican? If you said "religious music about Jesus" or "songs featuring the Pope," you'd be right. But you'd also be correct if you jokingly said, "2Pac." Yes, 2Pac's "Changes" shows up on a 12-song MySpace playlist that the Vatican...
