I'm re-listening to these albums... I found out that MATW and AEOM do have some dated sounding songs. So, they can't be considered classic albums. But "MAKAVELI" has nothing but timeless songs on it. So, it can be considered a classic kind of album. My definition of classic is timeless and not dated sounding. The "MAKAVELI" album and the "Until The End of Time" album are my top favorites from 2Pac.
By the way, I believe Pac's death was an assisted suicide, that he wished looked gang related. Why would he have that done? Because he was dead set on not going back to prison after being out on bail.
I may be wrong but I think Tupac did 1 year in Jail before Suge Knight got him out, and I believe it was seen as time served... Interesting theory though.
