Dozens of posthumous releases have been culled from 2Pac's archives, both by his mother, Afeni Shakur, and by more dubious sources. Eight years after the conflicted poet/thug's death comes Loyal to the Game, featuring more untapped rhymes. These recordings are the latest unearthed by Afeni Shakur, and while it might be easy to dismiss yet another new collection, two things work in this album's favor. The tapes were handed over to hip-hop icon Eminem, providing a completely unique angle on 2Pac's rhymes. More importantly, while these offerings are late in coming, that is not to say 2Pac's mother is desperately peddling the dregs of his output; the lyrics on Loyal to the Game are razor-sharp. Eminem's trademarked heavily syncopated sound provides an almost surreal sheen to the proceedings, and Em's voice graces the strong opening track, "Soldier Like Me (aka The Return of the Soulja)." The guests run the gamut from 2Pac contemporaries Nate Dogg and members of the fallen rapper's crew, the Outlawz, to relative newcomers Jadakiss and G-Unit, but all performances are solid and requisitely reverent to the memory of Tupac Shakur. Loyal to the Game simply combines strong remaining lyrics of a late master with newer ones, and stands as one of the best posthumous 2Pac releases.
Additional personnel: 50 Cent, Jadakiss, Lloyd Banks, Nate Dogg, Obie Trice, Ronald Isley, Sleepy Brown, Young Buck.

What An Album!! What more can you ask for? There's nothin' like an album with the hottest rappers on it!! Eminem and Pac are/was hands down the best rappers!! You gotta get the album. Even my pet goat liked this album. Submitted by JockStrap (UpYours, Ga, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
What?!! I don't know why they let Eminem produce this album.G-G-G-G-G-Unit? Obie Trice? Elton John? Jadakiss? Come on now.If Pac was still alive,there's no way he would work with "John Boy" or those studio gangstas.The production should've been picked up where Better Dayz(a da*m good album!!) left off.The beats on this album,the first 13 anyway,carry the all too familiar mark of Slim Shady.Lack of instruments,simple booms and ticks,and the worse of all,his voice.The attempt to have Pac giving G-Unit and eminem shoutouts was a plain a** discrace.Pac's voice was sped up and slowed down to match Slim's A-B-C,1-2-3 beats.I gave this album a 5 because of the last 4 tracks.Producers Scott Storch,Red Spyda,Raphael Saadiq,and DJ Quik brought soul to this album that it should've had from the start.Most of us true Tupac fans consider the first 13 tracks a slap in the d*mn face.Only Pac's peers should have the right to remake his music.Only his peers should be spit'n on the tracks with him.Eminem,if they want you to do the next album,PLEASE DON'T!!!!G-G-G-G-G DO-NOT!!!!
