Nearly seven years after his death, Tupac Shakur continues to be one of America's most successful recording artists, as his stockpile of unreleased material slowly finds its way to official release. Better Dayz, Pac's fifth consecutive posthumous release, gathers tracks from his legendary sessions as his alter ego Makaveli. And believe it or not, this double disc contains some of the hottest material of the slain rapper's career. Disc 1 includes plenty of songs fueled by anger and beefs, such as "When We Ride on Our Enemies," which targets Mobb Deep and unlikely foes the Fugees, and the Notorious B.I.G.–bashing "F*** 'em All." All that bile is tempered by more reflective cuts such as "Mama's Just a Little Girl" and a gorgeous acoustic version of the track "Thugz Mansion," featuring his onetime nemesis Nas. The acoustic guitars continue to ring on Disc 2 with "My Block" and "Never Gonna Call U Bitch Again," featuring R&B crooner Tyrese. Most of the tracks on Disc 2 feature some form of live instrumentation, in stark contrast to hardcore-flavored cuts such as "Military Minds" and the Outlawz-assisted "Catchin Feeling," which would have sounded a lot more raw back in the old-school Death Row days. Thug cats may be taken aback by some of Better Dayz's rap-lite tracks, but fans will revel in this otherwise exceptional release Ron Hart

Though it was released on the eve of the busiest year in 2Pac's posthumous career, Better Dayz shouldn't be overlooked -- and with the schedule including a feature documentary (with soundtrack), plus two books and another double album, it might be easy for this one to slip from the radar. A lengthy two-disc set, it benefits from a raft of still-compelling material by one of the two or three best rappers in history, as well as excellent compiling by executive producers Suge Knight and Afeni Shakur, 2Pac's mother. Organizing the set roughly into one disc of hardcore rap and one of R&B jams makes for an easier listen, and the R&B disc especially has some strong tracks, opening with a remix of 1995's "My Block" and including quintessentially 2Pac material -- reflective, conflicted, occasionally anguished -- like "Never Call U B**** Again," "Better Dayz," "Fame," and "This Life I Lead." Most of the tracks are previously unreleased, the rest coming from scattered compilations like Knight's Chronic 2000: Still Smokin' or 1995's The Show soundtrack. It's 2Pac's best album since his death, and bodes well for future material by, and concerning, rap's most legendary figure. John Bush

More than six years after Tupac Shakur's death, another posthumous double album from the influential rapper is being released. Better Dayz, follows on the heels of 2001's triple-platinum Until the End of Time and finds a storm of rappers contributing additional vocals to tracks Tupac recorded just before his murder on September 13, 1996. Guest apperances on the 20-track collection include Nas, Trick Daddy, Mya, Ronald "Mr. Biggs" Isley, Tyrese, and the Outlawz. Suge Knight and Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, executive produced the album, and some of the proceeds of which will reportedly benefit the Tupac Shakur foundation. Corey Moss
