In His Own Words was an unofficial release just one and a half year after 2Pac’s passing.
It is a compilation of songs that were unreleased at the time of the projects release which throws out speculation and interview pieces in which were taken from Tupac Shakur’s interview with Sway Calloway and narrations by Davey D carried the album respectively throughout.
A reviewer, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said about the unofficial project this:
It’s marketed as if it were an official collection of unreleased Tupac Shakur music, but In His Own Words is far from being a legit collection of unreleased recordings. Instead, it’s mainly an interview disc, culled from a session at the San Francisco radio station KMEL-FM, augmented by a handful of unreleased songs, including two songs recorded with the Notorious B.I.G.
