This two-disc posthumous collection of previously unreleased tracks from '95 and '96 contains many poignant and prescient cuts, notable for their premonitions of early death and the inevitable outcome of a life lived on the edges of society. 2Pac's murder in 1997 spawned the usual macabre industry that surrounds prominent deceased figures, but UNTIL THE END OF TIME, with its touching liner notes from the rap star's mother, the former Black Panther Afeni Shakur, is a well-assembled collection. It features guest appearances from Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, KCi & Jo Jo, and the Outlawz among others, all of whom lend their unique talents to a collection of songs that serves to underscore the loss suffered by the rap community on 2Pac's death. Highlights include "Ballad of a Dead Soulja" and the epic, prophetic title track, which features quotes from Mr. Mister's '80s hit "Broken Wings."

This album is the fourth album of new material released by 2pac, and surprisingly it is easier to compare it to albums he released when he was alive than his latest posthumous releases. It seems to be somewhere between Makaveli and All Eyez on Me. To those of you who may have been dissapointed by the posthumous releases of 2Pac or other artists, you will find no such disappointment here.

Most of the tracks have been remixed from their original counterparts and bootegged versions, but most are for the better because of it. This is a true 2Pac album, unlike Still I Rise which was a 2Pac + Outlawz albulm, and with two discs of material there is no shortage of 2Pac.

Some of the best tracks on the CD are: Ballad of a dead soulja, until the end of time, letter to my unborn, when thugs cry, and let em have it. 2Pacs lyrical ability is showcased very well in this package. I reccomend this to anyone interested in 2Pac, either a long-time fan or first time listener. This new album will not dissapoint you.

I am very satisfied. The only thing I had a problem with was some of the censoring of some of 2Pac's lyrics, although it only happened a few times throughout the entire album. Also, some of the tracks were dramatically altered from what 2pac had intended (as seen in unreleased versions). Such tracks are Closest Road Dogs and When Thugz Cry. Closest road dogs was a duet with Big Syke, not a solo song. When Thugz Cry had a really good chorus that was not included in the final cut. However, these are only minor issues, and both of those songs still sound great. This is a great rap album. Buy it and be amazed.

Tupac Shakur is not your typical rapper. He does not rap about things that are written just to sell records, he didn't do videos with himself coated in gold and platinum. Tupac was a poet and spoke about real life. This CD "Until The End of Time" is one of the best CDs I've heard (in any genre.) Tupac is unlike any other but if I was to compare him to anyone I wouldn't compare to people like Biggie Smalls and Jay Z.... but rather to people like Bob Marley and John Lennon. Tupac had something to say, and if you've ignored him so far because of the negative image he got in the media, PLEASE check this CD out. Tupac may not have been a perfect person, but he had a huge heart and an even bigger mind. This CD transcends rap music! My favorite tracks are "Ballad of a Dead Soulja" "Letter to my Unborn" and "This Ain't Livin." On one of his songs Tupac Shakur said tha the wanted to be a "living legend" when he died. With the continual release of CDs like this (far superior to the hip-pop on the radio these days) he is.

Once again, the late Tupac Shakur proves to the world that he was/is one of the greatest musical artists to walk into a recording studio. This posthumous release features twenty-plus tracks guaranteed to have you bumping your head to the exquisite beats produced by the greatest names in the rap game. Johnny "J", DJ Quik, and even the coveted TrackMasters lend a hand in production. Guest appearances by KCi & JoJo, Lil' Mo, and the inspiring RL guarantee this album platinum status. From the first, adrenaline-pumped track "Ballad of a Dead Soulja" to the final, inspirational "Until the End of Time" your ears will be treated to hours of content. Whether or not you've liked rap before, everybody is sure to come to a new appreciation for the art of poetry once you've listened to the profound poetic tales that Tupac has told. Overall, this album is an excellent buy whether you're a rap fiend, or just beginning to appreciate the art. Tupac's "Until the End of Time" is sure to please.

This is the best 2pac album since All Eyes On Me. This album has a lot more calmer songs. You might not like it at first because a lot of the choruses will sound strange at first, but after listening to it twice you will love this album. The first cd is the better cd, every song on it is good. On the second cd would be better if they didnt have the remixs that already on the album. And "When I Get Free" is on R U Still Down? On cd one the best songs are "Ballad Of A Dead Soulja," "Friendz," "Let Em Have IT," "Breathin'," "Everything They Owe," and "Until the End of Time." All though those are the ones that stick out you can listen to it the whole way through. On cd 2 "My Closest Roaddogz," N**** Nature," "When Thugz Cry," "Lastonesleft," and "This Aint Livin." For anyone one who likes 2pac this is an unbelievable album. and anyone who doesnt like 2Pac this album would change your mind. A great album. BUY IT!
