Tupac fans...can you help me out?

Alright..so I am wanting to buy a Tupac CD at a local store and I have whittled it down to these three choices based on what they have available (No 2pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z, or Me Against the World-which would be my choice hands down).

All Eyez on Me -The Digitally Remastered Version
2Pac's Greatest Hits
Loyal to The Game

Seems like an obvious choice, right? Hold on though:

All Eyez On Me has a remix of California Love that I can't stand. I purchased this as a tape set back in 1996 and that has the original version, not this remixed sh*t.

I don't generally care for compilation albums..but in Pac's case I can make an exception because I like every single song on that one.

Loyal to the Game...I have some questions about what he actually sang on the album. Sounds crazy, I know, but there are some songs that seem like it's not really Tupac, but a sound-a-like stand in. Particularly Ghetto Gospel. I know the man was gone by then and all, but something doesn't jive well with me about the album.

So which would you get, if you were in my shoes? Thanks!

All Eyez on Me is just generic thug rap. The second disc is all filler apart from a few joints. And the first disc flags on at least three or four tracks.

Actually - and people are going to give me 100 thumbs down for this - I think Loyal to the Game is the best disc you can find. Eminem really puts in work on the beats. They're hard hitting, they have stripped down, vintage 90's feel, and forget that they aren't funky or R&B like the rest of his catalogue - Em's production just works. The songs you hear on that album are before the East-West BS, before the first shooting. They range from when he was 17/18 (at school) to 1993 ish. I forget the track, but he pens some thoughtful lines on the Rodney King L.A. Riots on one song.

The remixes, by Raphael Saadiq, DJ Quik, Red Spyda and one other (I forget the other producer) are BUTTER! too.

If you want Tupac at his most honest, and most sane, most accessible, this is your album.

Get the Greatest Hits, Loyal To the Game sucks and sounds like that because the production they screw with his original songs and voice so much and make it sound like something they would make in their OWN songs(in this case Eminem mainly), without taking 2pacs style into consideration.

Of course the greatest hits go for that 1 hands down, all eyez on me was good dont get me wrong but greatest hits tops it off

Get All Eyez on Me and an iTunes gift card. Go home and download the regular Cali Love.

Well Tupac's Greatest Hits contains most of his good tracks so i'd get that.
