***Better Dayz*** is the eighth [studio album](/source/Studio_album) and fourth [posthumous](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/posthumous) album by the late American rapper [2Pac](/source/2Pac). It is his last double-album.

It was released on November 26, 2002, debuting at number five on the US [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200). The album is the second of two albums (the first being *[Until the End of Time](/source/Until_the_End_of_Time_(Tupac_Shakur_album))*) that consists of a collection of previously unreleased material by way of [remixed](/source/Remix) songs from Tupac's "[Makaveli](/source/Makaveli)" period while signed to [Death Row Records](/source/Death_Row_Records), and was produced by [Johnny "J"](/source/Johnny_%22J%22), [Jazze Pha](/source/Jazze_Pha), Frank Nitty, and [E.D.I. Mean](/source/E.D.I._Mean) of [Outlawz](/source/Outlawz). It includes "Military Minds" which features [Boot Camp Clik](/source/Boot_Camp_Clik) members Buckshot and [Smif-n-Wessun](/source/Smif-n-Wessun) (credited as Cocoa Brovaz) which was supposed to be part of a collaborative album between Shakur and BCC titled *One Nation* but was never officially released due to Shakur's death. Better Dayz has no censored references to [Death Row Records](/source/Death_Row_Records) unlike the previous album, *Until the End of Time*. The only track on the album pre-Death Row era is "My Block (Remix)", which was recorded in 1994–1995 during Shakur's time with [Interscope Records](/source/Interscope_Records), and which the original version was released prior on the 1995 soundtrack album *[The Show](/source/The_Show_(soundtrack))*. The songs ‘’Late Night’’ and "Who Do You Believe In" were also released previously on Death Row's 1999 compilation *[Chronic 2000](/source/Suge_Knight_Represents%3A_Chronic_2000)*. The song ‘’Late Night’’ is missing from all digital and streaming releases, as well as newer CD releases.

The album features appearances by [Outlawz](/source/Outlawz), [Ron Isley](/source/Ron_Isley), [Nas](/source/Nas), [Mýa](/source/M%C3%BDa), [Jazze Pha](/source/Jazze_Pha) and [Tyrese](/source/Tyrese_Gibson), among others. The hit single, "Thugz Mansion," has two versions: an [acoustic](/source/Acoustic_music) version featuring Nas and J. Phoenix, which the music video is based on, and a hip hop version featuring [Anthony Hamilton](/source/Anthony_Hamilton_(musician)).

## Recording

The album features unreleased recordings from the 1994–1996 period, the majority of which are remixed tracks from *[Thug Life Volume 1](/source/Thug_Life_Volume_1)*, *[All Eyez On Me](/source/All_Eyez_On_Me)* & *[The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory](/source/The_Don_Killuminati%3A_The_7_Day_Theory)*. The album's other tracks retain their original form or are complete finished mixes, such as "Fuck 'Em All", "Late Night", "Ghetto Star", "Better Dayz", "Who Do U Believe In?" and "They Don't Give a Fuck About Us".

## Critical reception

Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [1] Entertainment Weekly C[2] HipHopDX 4/5[3] RapReviews 7.5/10[4] Rolling Stone [5] Tom Hull – on the Web B−[6]

John Bush from [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) wrote: "Better Dayz shouldn't be overlooked [...] A lengthy two-disc set, it benefits from a raft of still-compelling material by one of the two or three best rappers in history, as well as excellent compiling by executive producers [Suge Knight](/source/Suge_Knight) and [Afeni Shakur](/source/Afeni_Shakur), 2Pac's mother. Organizing the set roughly into one disc of hardcore rap and one of R&B jams makes for an easier listen, and the R&B disc especially has some strong tracks, opening with a remix of 1995's 'My Block' and including quintessentially 2Pac material—reflective, conflicted, occasionally anguished—like 'Never Call U Bitch Again,' 'Better Dayz,' 'Fame,' and 'This Life I Lead.' [...] It's 2Pac's best album since his death."[1] *[Kludge](/source/Kludge_(magazine))* magazine included it on their list of best albums of 2002.[7] The track "Ghetto Star" has appeared on the soundtrack to the video game *[25 to Life](/source/25_to_Life)*.

## Commercial performance

*Better Dayz* debuted at number five on the US [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200) chart, selling 366,000 copies in its first week.[8] This became 2Pac's eighth US top-ten album.[8] In its second week, the album dropped to number eight on the chart, selling an additional 163,000 copies.[9] As of September 2011, the album has sold 1,765,597 copies in the United States.[10] On July 23, 2014, the album was certified [triple platinum](/source/RIAA_Certification) by the [Recording Industry Association of America](/source/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America) (RIAA) for sales of over three million copies.[11]

In May 2003, the album was also certified triple platinum in Canada for sales of over 300,000 copies in Canada.[12]
