Pac's Life
2pac - Greatest Hits

The album's nonchronological sequence highlights 2Pac's music; the 21 popular hits, some slightly re-edited for legal reasons, are accompanied by four previously unreleased songs: "God Bless the Dead", "Unconditional Love", "Troublesome '96", and "Changes" which has since become one of Shakur's best known songs.

2pac - The Rose That Grew from Concrete
The Rose That Grew from Concrete is an album based on the poetry of Tupac Shakur, released in 2000. This album features a large cast of celebrities reading Shakur's poetry and writing, much in the spirit of a traditional spoken word album.
Bone Brothers
Bone Brothers was released after the dismissal of Bizzy Bone from the group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The album is a collaboration between Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone and features appearances by other members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony as well. "Hip Hop Baby" was the only single released from this album.
Bone Brothers II
Bone Brothers 2 is the second release by the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony side project made up of Layzie Bone and former member Bizzy Bone. It is actually a remix album rather than a proper follow-up to the first Bone Brothers. Bone Brothers 2 does not contain any newly recorded vocals. Instead it consists of verses taken from Bizzy Bone and Layzie Bone's previous releases with Real Talk Entertainment including The Midwest Cowboy and Thug Brothers along with new music production. The album's release date coincided with with the release of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Strength & Loyalty. Albums purchased at Best Buy include three bonus Bizzy Bone tracks.
