这张副标题为"Circa 1989"的Bootleg《The Lost Tapes》搜集了英年早逝的著名嘻哈乐手2Pac图派克10首珍贵的早期独唱录音。这些录音的制作唤起了那个年代纯正的嘻哈之声——频繁的刮碟声和小军鼓的伴奏。图派克在这里呈现的说唱方式和歌词内容更多地让人想起Big Daddy Kane和Rakim等80年代末90年代初的嘻哈偶像，和这位传奇的嘻哈烈士后来的风格反而不太一样。 该专辑在2007年由Koch厂牌正式发行，名为《Beginnings: The Lost Tapes 1988–1991》。 Beginnings: The Lost Tapes 1988–1991 is a posthumous album by American hip hop recording artist 2Pac, released on June 12, 2007 by Koch Records. The album was originally released on April 18, 2000 in bootleg form, under the title The Lost Tapes: Circa 1989, but the selling was quiclky halted due to copyright infringement. Produced by Digital Underground member Chopmaster J, Beginnings... is a collection of the rapper's earliest songs, created before Shakur began working on his first studio album, 2Pacalypse Now.
