    Eminem's name is on most of the boards here and he bends Pac's vocals to his own tempo, pitch and all, so a couple of verses come out sounding like someone leaned on the turntable. Ghetto Gospel gets away with it. The Elton loop moves slow enough that Pac can just talk over it, and that's the one I run back. Em built a really good beat for a guy who was never going to hear it. The first half is the album to me. Of the remixes tacked on the end, only the DJ Quik one sounds like it came from the right coast.

About

Loyal to the Game is the sixth posthumous studio album by Tupac Shakur. It contains remixes of previously unreleased music recorded by Shakur before his death in 1996. Released in the United States on December 14, 2004 (December 12 in the United Kingdom), Loyal to the Game was produced by Eminem. According to an interview with MTV, Eminem was so moved by Tupac's life and work that he wrote a letter to Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, asking her to consider letting him produce the album. Shakur agreed, giving Eminem the go ahead. The album featured two singles- "Thugs Get Lonely Too" and "Ghetto Gospel". Eminem used various unusual production techniques during the creation of this album, namely modifying the pace and pitch of Tupac's voice to better suit the beats produced. There was also various uses of the cutting and pasting of vocals to produce new words synonymous with current rap culture, such as saying "G-Unit"", "Obie Trice" and "Em" instead of "LG", the original producer of "Out On Bail".
