The album peaked at number one on the Billboard 200. The album generated the second-highest debut-week sales total of any album that year, selling 664,000 within its first week in stores. Dre & Nas.Īlthough Shakur insulted rapper Nas on “Intro/Bomb First (My Second Reply)” and “Against All Odds”, rapper Young Noble, who appeared on several songs on The 7 Day Theory, stated in an interview that the Nas song “I Gave You Power” served as a main inspiration for Shakur’s “Me and My Girlfriend” Rappers insulted on the album include The Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, Q-Tip, De La Soul, Dr. Some songs on the album contain both subtle and direct insults to Shakur’s rivals at the height of the East Coast – West Coast feud. Shakur’s style of rapping is still emotional, but is intensified throughout this album. In honor of the makaveli demo leak here is a full breakdown.While All Eyez on Me was considered by Shakur “a celebration of life”, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is a much darker album. This review is based on a comparison between The 3 Day Theory and The 7 Day Theory! Slightly different intro and outro used here, and the bassline is also slightly different (might be the same but sounds different to me, because the beat also isn’t as polished, which makes the bass stronger). Might be the sample/s used here (which, I believe by listening to it, samples Michael Jackson’s „Human Nature“). And I don’t know why but it sounds familiar, even though I know that I’ve never heard it before. Very nice track, but I don’t know if it belongs on the album. Yet another track that did not make the other release that also sounds upbeat but less than „Lost Souls“. New famale intro. Last verse start without guitars. The other version is better, but something about this one is kinda creepy and haunting… The outro has muted when start 2Pac. The beat is also very similar but slightly different, in the way that it is slower, has slightly different melodies and is not as polished. The intro almost identical, but is cleaner on this one and just slightly different. I also realize that „To Live & Die in L.A.“ is upbeat, but it still feels like it belongs on the album. All I know is that this track did not make the other release, and that it’s an enjoyable track but doesn’t belong on the album, as the beat is too upbeat for the rest of the album. I haven’t even heard the original version so I can’t compare them. The only difference I see here is the beat doesn’t sound as polished as the other one. 2Pac - Guess Who’s Back - Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z… Everything else sounds exactly the same. No rattle snake sound effect on 3rd verse The beat also sounds not as polished as the other one, but it’s not very noticeable unless you really pay attention to it. Anyway, the intro uses the same sample, but is clearer than the other one. For the record, I like the remixed one better.Īh, my favourite track off the album. Intro is also different, and so is the hook. The beat is very different than the remixed version, and it is also not polished. This track has a remix that is well known within his fanbase, called „Fuck Friendz“. Everything else is exactly the same, as far as I heard.Īnother track that didn’t appear on the other release. Beat is also slightly different, it doesn’t have the guitar during the hook in the background like the other does. Intro is different than the other one, that’s obvious right from the start. As for the track itself, the intro uses the same intro used for „To Live & Die in L.A.“ and the beat is also not polished. Very good diss track though, nice and mellow beat but he goes hard on it and attacks many east coast artists. This diss song obviously didn’t make the other release. Extra adlibs, and the guitar strum is louder. The beat is also noticeably different (drum pattern is different and too loud, it doesn’t fit the track very well, beat isn’t as polished as the other one and different melodies used on the beat).
The intro is very different, it sounds a lot like the intro used for „Toss It Up“ on the other release. The bass is slightly stronger and beat just sounds less polished/mastered than the other one. Other than that, everything else is exactly the same. There is also a quicker and slightly different outro. This automatically makes this version better. The track is a minute shorter than the other version.
