  • Summary: A double album of previously unreleased tracks from the late rapper Tupac Shakur, bringing his total of posthumous releases to four (with a fifth planned for Fall 2001). The songs were recorded during the sessions for 1996's 'Makaveli.'

  1. Too often here, post-mortem producers dilute his power with garish backup singers and pop hooks. [4/20/2001, p.72]
  2. So, even the fact that these 29 tracks, including 3 remixes, have sometimes been re-produced, re-jigged and finely honed production-wise doesn't diminish the original effort involved.
  3. The problem isn't so much that this album sounds dated (not surprising, as it was recorded back when Lil Bow Wow was in pre-K), but rather that the songs are so poorly mixed and produced...
  4. Heavy on outside contributions and certainly missing 2Pac's editorial control and final production decisions, Until the End of Time bops and weaves from peak to valley in schizophrenic fashion.

    this is a good album but there is some filler and the production on some tracks was suspect to say the least, my advice to afeni would be to get a good producer to produce tupac's new releases otherwise don't keep releasing double disc cds Expand

    He is not a martyr by his own account. His gangster themes are tiring when you watch his documentary(Tupac:ressurrection) and realize how much smarter he was than he portrayed in his raps. I wish he was wiser and chose to uplift society rather than help it stay down. But he lived a depressive life due to his environment and it is unfair to blame him. Good posthumous release, i have to be in a certain(and rare) moment to listen to much else except the title track but it's a fair release. Expand
