This past September marked the 11-year anniversary of Tupac Shakur’s (still unsolved) murder. Since his unfortunate demise there has been 17 albums (six studio, eleven compilation) released under his name, each a combination of previously heard or unheard material. Those numbers, which were calculated to include this December’s two-part release, The Best of Pac, are indicative of the highest-selling rap artist of all-time. The second disc of the release, Life, contains one of two never before heard songs: Dopefiend’s Diner. The record is Pac’s take on Suzanne Vega’s original, Tom’s Diner, and although it was recorded many years ago Pac is still able to breathe life into the currently diluted industry. The album release is clearly intended to make money, but it’s also a reminder of how much Pac is truly missed.
2Pac was the first rapper that drew me into my obsession for hip-hop. His work has influenced me beyond beats and rhymes and I owe him so much. RIP Pac, the greatest poet of all-time.
This record has so much passion and meaning that you can just feel of emotions of 2Pac's spirit pouring out of the speakers. Finally some CLASSIC 2Pac material for fans who have been waiting for something like this for a very long time.
I hear that Chef, I think a lot of Hip Hop fans got started with Pac. It's weird hearing him rap to that melody but it makes his lyrical talented so obvious. R.I.P. 2Pac
the best rapper ever, period! but this song is wack though, for real, ya'll know it, if you heard a new rapper these days begin with this track, you would hate on him like no other. He doesn't even flow in this!! I like the ladies voice at the end though.
LONDON I dont think you were listening. you heard the track but you didnt listen. he was spitting real life situations that sadly happen ever day out here in america ghettos. Just two days ago this kid got shot in the head and the bullet wasnt attended for him. thats right out side my house. and its like this everywhere. Pac just opened up about real life situations homie.
GOAT the greatest of all time.
YO THIS TRACK IS SOMETHING YOU LISTEN TO . HE TELLING U SOMETHING . HE IS SPITTEN REAL SHIT . BIG SHOUT OUT TO PAC
ITS NOT A CLUB BANGER OR BUMP IT IN YOUR RIDE . ITS ABOUT LIFE .
Much respect........been a fan since Apacalypse Now.....the greatest of all time.........I think I played me against the world until my tape popped....
Oh My god! I can't believe there is a Pac song out there that I haven't heard yet. This is Soooooo Sick! He was the Best and will remain the BEST OF ALL TIME. No one touches the subjects that he has and no one ever had so much feeling and pain in their words like he has. He is truly one of a kind and the Best ever. This track is one of the most unique tracks of 07 and the track is 11 years old! Sick, sick , sick! Happy to see he's still killin it after all this time!
DJ T-nder...How can you call yourself a DJ if you never heard a Tupac Track before? DAMN! That's impossible!
Let me start off by stating that it iz my opinion that Pac wuz tha greatest rapper of our time but i'm not feelin thiz at all...ppl needa stop fuckin up hiz legacy and let him rest n peace...he will alwayz b a Hip-Hop legend & icon and even if they never drop another Pac cd again he will alwayz b remembered...RIP Tupac.
London, let me remind you that this is not "some new rapper beginning with this track", THIS IS 2PAC TELLING A STORY! Listen to what he's trying to tell you and you just might change your mind.
PAC SOUNDS SO HUMBLE ON THIS, I LOVE IT!
THIS IS HOT!
HOW CAN YOU NOT FEEL THIS?
REMIX THIS WITH TOM'S DINNER (BY SUSAN BY VEBGA) AND IT WOULD BE TOTALY SICK!
2pac doesnt have to make his voice sound good with a voice synthesizer or nehting else... i think thats y all kinds of people like him because he doesnt cover up the fact that he was raised in the ghetto and all people dont live a fully good life everyone has hard times.. u really have to listen to this song to hear and feel the meaning... i love the hook with the lady and the gunshots.. GREAT song! R.I.P 2pac

OK...how can ANYONE rate this song above 1 star?!?!?! This is one of the WORST 2pac songs i have EVER heard....i mean COME ON people, he CANNOT SING!!! Rest in Peace to the man and props to his old stuff, but people are just tryin to make money off his name now with this GARBAGE!
Look, I like Pac's music just as much as the next man...lol, just kidding. Never been a Pac fan (not taking anything away from him). This track was par at best. Thats my word son..lol.
it's been said many many times i'm gonna say it again 2Pac is the best rapper that has ever lived on this motherfucking planet earth and this song rocks how can it suck? maybe those who said that dnt know anything about music wel anywys R.I.P. 2Pac
If some people don't like this track its because they are stuck in today's meaning of hip hop and not hip hop overall. His lyrics are sooooo crazy in this and his message is loud and clear. People are saying this don't sound like PAC, but if you go and download Makaveli 1 through 17, then you will see towards the end of his life he was very experimental trying to find the perfect mix to reach out to as many people as possible. Tupac would have wanted us to bring out all of these tracks and that's why he made like 50 tracks a week. He knew he was going to die and he knew that his music would live on...so the only thing he had left was the Music! Again, this is an excellent track and Tupac is the Greatest...we might never see another this good...
So if you have the best lyrics in the world that means you can do whatever you want with the production, even distracting us from the lyrics because the singing-like rap is too bad?! No! He should just rap or sing better.
THIS IS THE BEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME..... MY FAVORITE RAPPER. 2PAC.... #1 THUG LIFE. AND THIS SON GIS BANGIN ... r..P PAC. I'LL SEE U IN HEAVEN , THUG MASION.. HAH AH////
this has pac written all over it to me.....it sounds like them....i haven't been really feelin how they been butchering his music to make it more relavent to today...to me they should have just left tha songz tha way they were..like they did this one...tha whole singin thing is cool with me it fits tha song right....i heard rappers sing worse and tha song was just completely horrible.. i adore him i always have and will....i love that tupac's legacy will never die it makes my heart smile to kno that his music will always live on......R.I.P. Pac!!!
Tupac was a poet. And this song is an expression of that, his poetry. It's a good song, i wouldn't expect nothing less from tupac. And for all you soulja hoe loving punks. Don't even listen to pac. He would be rolling over in his grave. Yall are contributibing to killing hip hop.
