Where the first volume of this two-part series chased the swagger, The Best of 2Pac, Part 2: Life turns toward the reflective, compassionate side of Tupac Shakur.

Released in 2007, the compilation leans heavily on songs that surfaced after his death in 1996, drawing on posthumous albums such as R U Still Down?, Until the End of Time, Better Dayz and Loyal to the Game. Alongside them sit two pillars of his early career, giving a rounded picture of an artist who could be furious and tender within the same verse.

"Brenda's Got a Baby," from his 1991 debut, remains one of the most unflinching story songs in hip-hop, and "Keep Ya Head Up" is still a rare rap anthem written as a love letter to women. "Ghetto Gospel," produced by Eminem around an Elton John sample, finds Pac preaching unity and change, while the acoustic take on "Thugz Mansion" strips his vision of a gangster's heaven down to something almost hymnal. Remixed versions of later favourites add a slicker sheen.

The set closes on a previously unreleased song, a reminder that the vaults still held surprises more than a decade after his passing.

For anyone building a 2Pac shelf, this is the volume that captures his conscience and his stubborn sense of hope.
