The ghost of Tupac has always upstaged the Outlawz. Even now, with Perfect Timing – intended as a respectful tribute to the 15th year anniversary of ‘Pac’s passing – it’s the recent (and possibly dubious) claim that the crew smoked ‘Pac’s ashes that will likely define its contribution to 2011’s rap-up.
Now slimmed down to the trio of E.D.I. Mean, Hussein Fatal and Young Noble, the Outlawz are slightly above-average rappers who just so happened to have formed an early and then lifelong friendship with ‘Pac – which they’ve been recording off ever since. So while the production here most times hints at some sort of homage to ‘Pac’s post-prison release period in the ’90s (and you can definitely imagine him hopping on grooves like “Perfect Timing” and “Remember Me”) it never takes form as a full-on tribute, and also fails to evoke the obviously emotional memories the group have of ‘Pac the person.
Without ‘Pac’s presence, the Outlawz have decided to go down the route of packing the album with decent profile guest stars. But while the idea of Scarface, Bun B, Z-Ro and even Tech N9ne hitting up studio sessions with ‘Pac would have the potential to produce a true gangsta chronicle, here the guest spots effectively overawe the album. On “Pushin’ On,” 
‘Face opens his verse by declaring, “After 20 years of seeing this game make changes/I think that I can answer the questions y’all came with.” Then the veteran is soon weaving in life lessons like, “It’s not ’bout the money, the car a nigga ride in/Here’s how you master the game, homie, surviving.” It’s a verse that channels the spirit of ‘Pac and his T.H.U.G. Life agenda stronger than the bulk of the Outlawz-helmed album.
Allegedly, Perfect Timing will be the last ever recording from The Outlawz, out of respect for ‘Pac. It’s likely not the signing-off they envisaged, and leaves them still either those guys in the background of the “Hit ‘Em Up” video or those dudes who took a toke on their mentor’s embers.
Dope!
Fair assessment. “Still I Rise” is still classic to m.e
wack. retire and come never back

Wack. Please retire.
great album, got it on itunes
Shit doesnt even sound like the outlawz shits wack
I haven’t listened to the album, and probably won’t but this review is absolutely awful. Even if the album is bad, or has nothing substantial to offer, this review says almost nothing.
Also, I don’t get the logic of stopping recording or making music as a homage to ‘Pac, I believe we, the living, have to persevere, and keep it moving. Maybe they just don’t have it in them, but saying that it’s about Pac, who died about 15 years ago, is a bit of a stretch.

This has to be one of the worst reviews I have seen. The writer of this article mentions one song and wraps up with some nonsense about not being able to make quality music because Tupac is no longer here.
This review does nothing to make me even want to check out the album. Hiphopdx, please get a new writer.
just download it see if you like this site is a hit and miss with reviews mostly miss
RIP Tupac… Good to hear Scarface back
Whether you get it or not, this is a classic. Pac is eternal, not on some wack mixtape, but through the Outlawz and those like them. O4L.

Send “Perfect Timing” Ringtone to your Cell
Let mamma so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
Let mamma so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
Man, hold up, back up, give us some space
I think I just found the baddest in the place
Damn, baby girl with it, and when she moving man she breaking every rule with it
And me, I’m cool with it cause that’s exactly how I see it
And how she needs to do it and how we need to g it
I’m the only player in here you really need to be with
Now go ahead and pop it p.I.m.p. shit
I know a profession no one of me
You got my nature rising girl, look what you have done to me
Let mamma so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
Let mamma so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
She working out lately, my old lady got a new body
Got my Jimmy popping willies like a Ducati
She remind me empire
Good Lord true guns
No make-up, she don’t care about Channel, Jimmy Chiu, Gucci, Prada or
She could spot a hater even with the shades on
Beyonce Big her theme song
Smart too, cause I gotta be eagle on me
And show the badge she thinks the desert eagle on me
And yes sir, it’s her don’t lose a I got they key to baby’s box when it needs lock
She calls ice box where our used to be, chevy mamma used to me
I tell her this is what you do for me
See, where my bottom baby used to be
Let mamma so cold, she’s so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
Let mamma so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
At the ball playing lost in the sound
When I know we can go from where kick it all around
Got a with a villa, on the coast out in
We can sip some liquor while we’re smoking
Got me just to get a bone, maybe
Just that made me real sorry
Sexy little bad we can come stay up on a hustle, got a full of diamonds
Walking out the city making rain harder than the dudes all black and sitting up big 22
Now she’s baddest little thing that I’ve ever seen
Slim waist with a face magazine
Mamma got the kind of ball got the beauty queen in the movie scene, you know what I mean
And my mind is the only thing she blows all around up and down she goes
The edge down to the flow, yeah, she knows, she’s a killer, killer
That girl is a winner, so cold make the hardest shiver, shiver
Fast cars, pretty women, I’m speeding in her
Let mamma so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
Let mamma so cold what you doing making me wanna holler
On your mark get set go, let me swing it by the 100 miles per hour
