This two-disc posthumous collection of previously unreleased tracks from ’95 and ’96 contains many poignant and prescient cuts, notable for their premonitions of early death and the inevitable outcome of a life lived on the edges of society. 2Pac’s murder in 1997 spawned the usual macabre industry that surrounds prominent deceased figures, but UNTIL THE END OF TIME, with its touching liner notes from the rap star’s mother, the former Black Panther Afeni Shakur, is a well-assembled collection.
It features guest appearances from Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, KCi & Jo Jo, and the Outlawz among others, all of whom lend their unique talents to a collection of songs that serves to underscore the loss suffered by the rap community on 2Pac’s death. Highlights include “Ballad of a Dead Soulja” and the epic, prophetic title track, which features quotes from Mr. Mister’s ’80s hit “Broken Wings.”
