#2PAC MAKAVELI ALBUM REVIEW FULL#
The full track-listing for this album included 25 tracks, most of which was from Daz's then new album. The only new track that included 2Pac was the song "Initiated" which was released in 1998 on Daz's Retaliation, Revenge & Get Back album. This was basically the Japan import with some skits and filler tracks on it. Version 3: Finally, on September 13, 2003, Daz put out what he called "Makaveli & Dillinger, The Whole Album". This release was released by Makaveli Records, and is the most common and easy to find release. The top of the cover was changed to say Tupac Shakur & Daz Dillinger in white lettering. For this release the cover was altered as real photos were photoshopped into the background of the cover for the 100 dollar bills. This release included the same eight tracks as before, but also included the tracks "Move for the Money", "Don't Go To Sleep Soul-G Remix", "First To Bomb" instrumental, as well as "First to Bomb BBK Remix". Version 2: This is the Japan import version.
Recordz Presents" in green lettering at the top of the album and had the track-listing on the back cover. It included the usual eight songs and was pressed and sold on the streets. Version 1.5: This was the actual eight track release of the album by Daz Dillinger. This release was also released on a label dubbed "Pacaveli Records" and shows up from time to time on eBay. The cover read "Tupac Shakur & Daz Dillinger" in green lettering. This release included the same six tracks as above, as well as the originals of First to Bomb and Don't Go To Sleep instead of 187 Um and Heaven or Hell Outro. This was in fact the first release available, and was put out thanks in part to certain members of the Pacboard community. Version 1: The first leaked release was ripped into poor quality and cut differently so that the tracks all ran together much like they do on the Makaveli album. This version never saw the light of day however, and track-listings were soon changed. The original track listing posted on included eight tracks: Wake Up My People, First To Bomb, Let's Fight, Um Dumpin, Don't Go To Sleep, They Don't Give A Fuck About Us, 187 Um, Heaven or Hell Outro. The original artwork was posted on and mentioned D.P.G. Version 0: The album was announced as Dillinger & Makaveli. The only track left untouched by Daz is "They Don't Give a Fuck About Us", all other tracks were remixed and Daz also added himself onto tracks he originally didn't appear on, despite Dillinger marketing the EP as an original collaboration album. Later when Daz left Death Row, he stole an unknown amount of Tupac's unreleased masters, some of which can be heard on this EP. The tracks were recorded at Death Row Records between 1995–96 for Tupac's and Boot Camp Clik's project "One Nation". It was released December 24, 2001, on D.P.G. There are two other ( bootleg) versions of the EP, but the original has only eight tracks. Don't Go 2 Sleep is a compilation EP by American rappers Makaveli and Daz Dillinger.
