Iconic Hip Hop figure Tupac Shakur (2Pac) dropped two albums. The 2 CD’s titled ‘BEST OF 2PAC PT. 1: THUG’ and ‘THE BEST OF 2PAC PT 2: LIFE’. 2 previously unreleased tracks and 2 new remixed tracks from the hip hop legend grace the 2 CD’s. The other tracks we are all familiar with but the albums are worth getting; not just for the new material but for the unique packaging. The covers and CD case is a must have for any Tupac fan. The albums are being distributed by Universal/Amaru.
