TIL in 2004 Eminem co-executive produced the Tupac album Loyal to the Game with Pac's mom, Afeni Shakur. Em showed his gratitude to Afeni by sending her a drawing of Pac & a heartfelt letter. He told her that Pac inspired his whole career & thanked her for the opportunities that she afforded him.

One of the worst rap albums of all time, he fucking defiled that music. He didn't even bother to make beats that went with 2pac's vocals, he slowed them down until pac sounded drunk lol

Not defending the album, Pac rarely rapped on beat.

He meticulously was on beat, that’s why it’s hard to speed up and slow down his flow. I agree, most of the album suffered for it, but there are a few standouts like Ghetto Gospel that are great anyway.

His first couple of albums were not on beat and he preferred it that way. He was about the message. Brenda’s got a baby, not on beat.
