7. No More Pain / Devante Swing (Jodeci)

9. Life Goes On feat. Stacey Smallie / Daz
10. Only God Can Judge Me feat. Rappin' 4-Tay / Doug Rasheed
  • 1995/10/26 - final mix 11/28. Doug Rasheed was the main producer for Y?N-Vee album in 1994 so he already recorded the unleaked "Don't Leave" with 2Pac. It is said 2Pac had the first idea and some lines of that song before going to prison.
  • Samples :
11. Tradin' War Stories feat. Kastro, Edi, C-Bo, Napoleon & Storm / Mike Mosley & Rick Rock
12. California Love (Remix) feat. Dr. Dre & Roger Troutman / Dr. Dre
  • 1995/11/04. The song was originally a Dr. Dre solo song featuring Roger Troutman, intended to be in Chronic II project album. But with the arrival of superstar 2Pac, Dr. Dre and Suge Knight decided to give the music to promote his upcoming album.

14. What'z Ya Phone # feat. Danny Boy / Johnny J & 2Pac

  • Samples :
    • Morrid Day & The Time - "777-9311" (concept, drums, melody, vocals interpolation)
CD2 :
 
1. Can't C Me feat. George Clinton / Dr. Dre
  • 1995/11/02. Like for "California Love" and "Got My Mind Made Up", the song is said to have been originally a Dr. Dre solo song featuring George Clinton and then a Dogg Pound song recorded in 1995/10/07, before Death Row gave it to 2Pac.
  • Samples : 
2. Shorty Wanna Be a Thug / Johnny J
  • 1995/10/15 - final 12/18. It is said 2Pac wrote that song before going to prison.
  • Samples : 
3. Holla at Me feat. Nanci Fletcher / Bobby "Bobcat" Ervin
  • 1995/10/31 - 11/04 (new beat & chorus added). First version has a totally different beat and no chorus.
4. Wonda Why They Call U Bytch feat. Michel'le / Johnny J & 2Pac
  • 1995/10/17-19 - 11/25 (Michel'le added). Original version had Faith Evans at the chorus (Biggie's wife). So she came in the middle of October to see 2Pac and record with him, as soon as he was free... Strange fact and some kind of revenge act for 2Pac against his old friend. But Death Row couldn't let release this version...
  • Samples :
5. When We Ride feat. Hussein, Kastro, Napoleon, Big Syke, Edi, Kadafi & Mopreme / Dj Pooh
  • 1995/10/27-30. The song has the whole new group called Outlaw Immortalz aka Thug Life + Dramacydal + Fatal N Felony. DJ Pooh had already produced the still unleaked "Ghost" original and the first 2Pac "St. Ides" in late 92 / beginning of 93. He is also said to have produced "Wanted Dead or Alive" and "St. Ides 2" featuring Snoop Dogg, so maybe they recorded these songs around that same period...
  • Samples : 
6. Thug Passion feat. Kastro, Kadafi, Edi, Storm & Jewell / Johnny J & 2Pac
  • 1995/11/13.
  • Samples :
    • Zapp - "Computer Love" (bassline interpolation, vocals interpolation)

11. Run Tha Streetz feat. Storm, Napoleon & Michel'le (chorus) / Johnny J & 2Pac
