This period of 2Pac's career would then go unexplored until the release of the 2003 song " Runnin' (Dying to Live)", which was followed by the 2004 album Loyal to the Game, all of which was recorded during this same period.Ĭritical reception Professional ratings Review scores Two more unreleased songs from this period of 2Pac's career, " Changes" and "God Bless the Dead", were released the following year on the next posthumous release, Greatest Hits. However, this version was never released due to 2Pac's early release from prison, by virtue of signing to Death Row Records. With no new material being able to be recorded, like R U Still Down? (Remember Me), the album was to feature unused songs from his previous three albums, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., Thug Life: Volume 1 and Me Against the World. Interscope Records originally planned to release an album under the same name in December 1995, during 2Pac's imprisonment. R U Still Down? was the name of several handwritten track lists 2Pac had written in 19 that featured both, unreleased songs and songs that would later be issued on Me Against The World and Thug Life: Volume 1. Other producers hired to create new music for the album were QDIII, Soulshock & Karlin, Mike Mosley, and Ricky Rouse (in partnership with We Got Kidz Productions). The album's production was overseen by the mysterious producer(s), We Got Kidz Productions producing entirely new instrumentals for numerous songs, adding new production to various original instrumentals and serving as the album's executive producer, alongside Afeni Shakur and Lisa Smith-Putnam. "I'm Getting Money" although technically unreleased, features the same lyrics as the 1994 song " Str8 Ballin' ", only with the words, "Straight ballin '", being replaced with the words, "I'm gettin' money." Two retitled remixes of " I Wonder If Heaven's Got A Ghetto" first released as a B-side to the 1993 single " Keep Ya Head Up". Of the material previously released is: "Definition of a Thug Nigga" previously released on the 1993 soundtrack Poetic Justice (soundtrack). The album was the first to be released from 2Pac's mother's imprint, Amaru Entertainment and features almost all previously unreleased material, all of which was recorded between 19.
R U Still Down? (Remember Me) sold 549,000 copies in its first week, reached multi-Platinum status (4 million sold) in under a month, and topped the R&B charts in the United States for three weeks. His lyrics foreshadow his death in songs like "Open Fire", "Thug Style" and "Only Fear of Death." The album spawned two hits, " Do for Love" and " I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto", of which "Do for Love" was certified Gold by the RIAA. Throughout the album, 2Pac airs his views on life from a time before he became involved in the controversial East Coast–West Coast rivalry. It was the first album to be released without his creative input and contains previously unreleased material from the time period of his albums Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., Thug Life: Volume 1 and Me Against the World. R U Still Down? (Remember Me) is the sixth studio album and second double album by American rapper, 2Pac, released posthumously on November 25, 1997.
