In the song "Niggas Done Changed" Feat. Tupac, 2Pac predicts his own death by saying “I been shot and murdered, can't tell you how it happened, word for word / But best believe niggas gonna get what they deserve.”
Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Miguel Burke of The Source magazine described Seasoned Veteran as "one of the few albums available in the reality rap genre that lives up to its name and comes close to meeting the listener's expectations", but criticized the production that "can't handle the weight of the lyrical content".[2]
