Talk:Greatest Hits (Tupac Shakur album)

message: Should the lyrics section be separate? I think adding a link after the song name (like Song Name (running time) lyrics might be more helpful and less page-space costly. Leave me a message about it on my talk page. -Mysekurity  e-mail 22:44, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the criticism section, due to lack of any legitimate criticisms. It stated that many people criticize the album for containing more Death Row songs than songs from previous labels, which doesn't even make sense. From a quick count, I see 9 non-Death Row songs, and 12 Death Row songs (not counting the 4 unreleased songs). Now, if you wanted to continue an argument over 3 songs, take into consideration that the 3 albums he released before Death Row didn't break 4x Platinum, whereas the 2 he did with Death Row before his death (Also take into consideration that All Eyez on Me was a double-disc album) sold 16x Platinum, and undoubtedly contained more hit singles. Being as it's a Greatest Hits album, it's only logical that it contain songs that were actually popular. Therefore, unless any reasonable criticisms exist, I see no reason for the section to exist. Oh, and if this is sounding like gibberish to anyone, that's because it's 4:40 AM here, right now. Sorry. --Yayza 08:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Changes (2pac song).jpg

message: I just finished reading the article for this Wikipedia entry and it reads like one of those late night advertising commercials trying to hype someone up to buy a product or service.  There is too much positive opinion and not enough neutrality in the article.  Parts of it should be written, like for example...
"Among the numerous hits from 2Pac on this generous two-CD set are "Brenda's Got a Baby"; "Keep Your Head Up"; "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," featuring Snoop Dogg; and "How Do You Want It," featuring K-Ci & JoJo. Among the other standouts are "I Get Around," featuring Digital Underground; "California Love," featuring Dr. Dre; and "Dear Mama.""
and...
"Though posthumous albums are often only a record company's vision of how to make more money, 2Pac's Greatest Hits is just what it promises; a collection of all his hottest tracks, chart toppers, and street jams. Tracks from his time spent on both Interscope Records and Death Row Records are included, as are three previously unreleased tracks, "Unconditional Love," "God Bless the Dead" and "Troublesome '96.""
Maybe it's me but when I read these two sections, it just seems like someone is trying to push his music (like they're a salesman) instead of pushing from a neutral POV.  Why is his greatest 2-disc CD set generous?  Other artists have put out 2 or 3 CD disc sets.  Should they be described as generous too?  Again with the 2nd paragraph, "all his hottest tracks, chart toppers and street jams."  Is this an article or a late night infomercial?98.21.193.229 (talk) 08:24, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
