There was a lot going on at this point so the project was placed in hiatus while 2Pac and Greg Nice had to split up for a bit due to other commitments.ĢPac then had the idea that The Outlawz album should follow a solo Makavali album so that people understood The Outlawz weren't '2Pacs group' but rather he was in the group himself.

They began working on One Nation, other people invited to the sessions included E-40, Scarface, Capital LS, The BootCamp Klick, Knumbskull, Skorpio & Melle Mel. 2: The Outlaw Immortalz', which has been described as 'War and Peace' styled (Disses and Peaceful) and was in full production including two music videos being shot.ĢPac then got a call from Greg Nice in May and invited him out under the promise of recording work and a possible signing to Deathrow etc. Though by April the album had evolved into 'Thug Life Vol. 1996 He started working on '100% Black Gold', though we've only seen him refer to it by saying 'I'm making a new album, it's gunna be like Me Against the World II'. (for example the song Last Nite with Quik and AMG had to be thrown off due to clearance issues)īy Feb.

(eg: California Love, Can't C Me) This lead them to want to drop tracks as fast as possible so Euthanasia and 'When I Get Free' were combined to make All Eyez on Me with both tracklists suffering scrapped tracks to make everything fit.Īll Eyez on Me was completed by December, 1995 but a few mishaps lead it to release in Feb. Once it became apparent he was working like crazy, Suge started throwing old songs at him too which 2Pac would add himself into or replace everyone else on it. He was then quickly released in October 13th 1995 and immediately began recording it, it was finished in by late November and they began planning a new album a little less darker, I believe one suggested title was 'When I Get Free'. He then started writing material for his real debut Euthanasia/The Supreme Euthanasia/Amerikkaz Euthanasia while still awaiting bail (which he thought would be months away). This was supposed to release September 1995. Originally 2Pac didn't know he was getting out of jail so fast, so he sent a DAT to Suge/Deathrow simply titled '2Pac Unreleased Album', it was mentioned in the first draft of his contract as 'Album IV' and 'to be remixed by deathrow producers' and would likely have been called R U Still Down. I used to have a few break downs that i made of how existing albums evolved and or replaced more material, including unreleased predeathrow stuff:
