Pac's Life[edit]

The whole section about pacs life is not needed. what does anyone eles think? --Keithkesslerexp 15:48, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you trust me?[edit]

The trackliston HitEmUp.com says nothing about a collaboration with Dido on this track. However, it sure sounds like she's doing the chorus. Anyone who heard it yet who can confirm?

it's sampled, just as Stan was first sampled. During tours, she would perform her part as a special guest. --Pointyfingers 05:43, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this:[edit]

Many fans of Tupac have criticised the new album, for the way that Tupac's vocals have been digitally altered in ways never done before like speeding them up and slowing them down and distorting the pitch. This is mostly a by-product of Eminem's production. Instead of producing beats to match Tupac's vocals he tried to make Tupac's vocals match the beat. Also chopping of Tupac's lyrics, Ghetto Gospel, for example, is missing over 60% of its lyrics. Vocals added by cutting and pasting Tupac's voice to make it sound like he is saying "Trice," "G-Unit" and "Em." Since these artists emerged into popular culture in the years following Tupac's death and never knew them, most fans consider the songs an insult to Tupac.

...because it reads like a personal report/review, which makes it original research. --FuriousFreddy 19:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it should've been removed mainly because it sounds biased Volumesoxxs

Looks like someone brought it back. It needs to be removed as it is nothing more than someone's opinion. I know many fans of Pac's and I have yet to run into anyone who didn't like this album. That is not to say that there are not people out there that do not like this album, but I highly doubt a source can be found that details "most fans consider the songs an insult to Tupac". Wiki doesn't deal in opinions, so I am removing again.The Real Stucco 21:15, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am removing this line as well "Many fans were angry over this and maintain that this has distorted Tupac's voice and messages in such a way that the album should not be officially recognized. [1]" it is more of the same as above. Opinion. The citing is nothing more than what looks like to me as one persons review.The Real Stucco 21:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently License2kill thinks this article is for his opinions of the album. I will keep deleting your entries until you can provide a source that backs up your broad sweeping generalizations.The Real Stucco 00:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Ummm, I think that piece should be left there, A LOT of fans criticized Eminem. Oh seriously did 2pac really did just say "Gunit in this motherf*cking house"? C'mon Eminem ruined 2pac's music.~~

So prove it. If "a lot" of fans criticized it, it shouldn't be hard to find a reliable source that proves just that. This is an encyclopedia not a me and some people I know have opinionpedias. Find proof, bring it here, and sign your statements so the discussion page doesn't look like a chat window.The Real Stucco 03:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stucco, you dont know what you are talking about THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MADE SEVERAL HUNDRED DIFFERENT PETITIONS TO BLOCK THE SALE OF LOYAL TO THE GAME. All over the internet you can find people who signed at least one of those petitions. But either way, its almost like Afeni and Interscope saw it and threw it out. Personally, I dont think Afeni cares about pac or his fans. for all of her talk, where was she when pac was alive. She was quick to try and take his money and music though.

So basically what you are saying is you don't have any proof either and you stopped by to tell me I don't know what I am talking about. That is great, I'm honored. An online petition might as well be a Christmas list sent to Santa. See where I am going with this? An online petition doesn't mean a thing to most people, they hold no credibility. Like I said, come here with real proof and we can discuss it. Until then, you can assume I don't know what I am talking about while you make statements that clearly show how little you know about the subject.The Real Stucco 05:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Loyal2thegame.jpg[edit]

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

Tracklist[edit]

Why were a large number of the tracks removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.131.115 (talk) 03:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FUIC[edit]

I made the FUIC article but it lacked content and was made into an advertisment for cofee. I heard him say "FUIC a Soulja like me" in the first song, what does that mean, there is no mention anywhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realg187 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Loyal to the Game[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Loyal to the Game's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "sales":

From Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture 8 Mile: Grein, Paul (2014-07-02). "Chart Watch: Ed Sheeran's Transatlantic #1". Yahoo Music. Retrieved 2014-07-03.
From Greatest Hits (Tupac Shakur album): Caulfield, Keith (March 13, 2015). "Billboard 200 Chart Moves: 'Hozier' Has Sold a Half-Million". Billboard. Prometheus Global Media. Retrieved March 14, 2015.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:45, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
