The world suffered a major loss when 2Pac departed from us in human form on September 13, 1996. Many found the reality hard to come to grips with. So much so that it was believed that he fake his death. Albums released posthumously gave life to the theory. Speaking of posthumous releases, that is the debate topic for today.
Released under the alias, Makaveli, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory was the first release after Pac’s death. The album was recorded and mixed a month before Pac’s death. Needless to say, he was behind the creative process. Many considered it to be a great body of work.

Still I Rise, a collaborative album with the Outlawz, was released three years later. Again, Pac had input, which was apparent when listening to it. However, it was the albums that Pac had no input is what I’d like to double down on.
R U Still Down? (Remember Me), Until the End of Time and Better Dayz, all posthumous albums, were created from Pac’s unrelease materials. Which in my opinion, weren’t authentic albums. Nevertheless, it was 2Pac and his voice was still undeniable.
But the question is: were any of those albums considered a classic?
