After listening to the album, it is tough to remember one 2pac rhyme or one distinctive beat. The songs all follow the same formula of one or two Pac verses about the "Thug Life," a mediocre hook separating the verses, then one verse by a guest. Sometimes they add one more guest verse or one more Pac verse, but they are all about the same subject.

What's different about this song is the speed of Pac's rhymes. He raps the fastest he has on this album on this song. He actually does rather well with this fast rapping style. His individual rhymes are the usual, but for the first and only time on the album, the beat is good. It's fast paced and foreboding, just like 2pac's lyrics. Loyal To The Game is the highlight of the album in my opinion. While 2pac's rhymes are no better than usual, 50 Cent and Lloyd Bank carry this song.

The chorus is nice and catchy, rapped by 50 Cent. Despite the good guest appearances, the beat is nothing spectacular. It's slow and plodding, which is at least different than the jumpy beats on the rest of the album.

This album is closed out by four remix tracks. More than anything else, this is what raises the album from a 1 to a 1. These beats are crazy good, and they mesh perfectly with Pac's lyrics, unlike Eminem's. This is actually the only version of the song on the album, so it may not technically be a "remix. You may recognize Scott Storch, as he is one of the most respected producers in hip-hop.

He is the one who produced Chamillionaire's hit song, Turn It Up. While he doesn't quite deliver that good of a performance on this song, it is still at least adequate. Probably the best beat on the album. While this may have been an attempt to cater to Pac's flow, it doesn't work well in those two tracks.

The originals are better in both cases. Overall, this is a really poor showing by the rap king, 2pac. This album was never meant to be released, it is a dark stain on Pac's reputation. The guest appearances and guest producers carry this album, not 2pac himself. His lyrical ideas are tired, and his flows are out of whack. There are almost no redeeming qualities on this album. I would recommend leaving this on the shelf.

If you must, there are two or three songs that are okay. Rank: 0 for Disturbed The Sickness. Neurosis Through Silver in Blood. Shadows Fall Threads of Life. Machine Head The Blackening. Stone Sour Stone Sour. Pac's Life. While the dates aren't provided in the credits, the original producers are credited: Randy "Stretch" Walker , DJ Daryl , Live Squad , and Deon Evans , all of whom worked with Pac during his early years, namely the early '90s, just as he was leaving Digital Underground and getting his career off the ground.

Various time-specific references within Pac 's lyrics are further evidence of this, such as passing references to the L.

How much Loyal to the Game ultimately appeals to you will likely depend on how much you like Eminem. After all, this is as much his album as 2Pac 's -- a labor of love, no doubt. If you're fond of his lock-step beatmaking and big hooks, you'll find much to like here, for Pac 's rhymes are undoubtedly fascinating in any context, even at this early stage of his career. But if you're not down with Marshall Mathers , you'll probably want to pass this one by, though the four bonus tracks alone might make this a worthwhile venture regardless.
