Strictly... hasn't aged well to me, especially as that was his "east coast" record and I feel like he was perping a fraud through most of it.
I find that album pretty much unlistenable.
It's a useful diagnostic tool, though--whenever you hear a little dude proclaiming it Pac's best work, you know you can safely ignore anything else rap-related that he might have to say.
I listen to Pac all the time still. Mostly All Eyez on Me and Makavelli.

For me, that era of Pac is all about the Broadway mix of Holla If You Hear Me, pitched up slightly and cranked as high as possible since the levels from the record are looooooow.
a couple years ago I was at the county fair in the rural town I grew up it - I saw this mullethead dude in a sleeveless shirt - sunburned arm full of crappy homemade blue tattoos - a memorial list... R.I.P: Grandma Jean, Uncle Frank, Tupac...
he's throughout American culture like Scarface T-shirts at the fleamarket.
BIG never stood for anything y'know?

I love how dudes that only bother to hang out with frat dudes and the objects of frat dudes' jokes think that the main people who listen to Pac are frat dudes and the objects of frat dudes' jokes.

I don't think he said anything resembling that, but carry on. Do your thing.

As someone who owns every Tupac LP through Makavelli, Those two last records were my favorite shit. To me certain stuff on 2Pacalypse... and Me Against... have aged phenomenally well and other stuff, not so much. Strictly... hasn't aged well to me, especially as that was his "east coast" record and I feel like he was perping a fraud through most of it.
I fucks with Pac.
"Me Against The World" was his best album overall but the Death Row albums just had a ridiculous impact. You could not escape that shit when it came out. 10 songs in rotation in the club type shit. I appreciate those albums more today than I did when they came out. Specially Makavelli.

Try dropping some into your 12-2 club set and watch the floor clear....It's weird. I remember these songs getting heavy party rotation. I dug 2pac. His untimley demise had a lot to do with his populartiy...The catalog was much better before the flood gates opened and all the water down studio outakes came out.

i like pac, but his albums had like 4 to 5 diesel tracks then a bunch of weak ass filler. All eyez on me and the soundtrack to gang related was the drinking anthem when i was like 15.
I just wish pac made more movies. I like most of the roles he played. My favorite though is him as "spoon" in Gridlock'd or bishop from juice as a close second.
not sayin there aren't any, just sayin ... not fucking many
okay one album out of fifty is an exception to the rule. it just always seemed to me pac used the quantity or quality method in the studio. like "imma record 50 songs this week. 5 will be dope. but fuck it will release the others anywayzzzzzz"
biggie though was the truth. Ready to Die is hands down the greatest hip hop album ever made imo and honestly destroys any album pac ever put out. His one album's consistency blows holes in pacs 8 albums of "aight" tracks with a random dope cuts in the mix.
Pacs dope but biggie shitted on him :eastcoastrepresentin:
Its the annual TUPAC/BIG argument thread! Am I late? My favorite tupac song is that one that goes "everywhere we goooooo we see the same hoooooes" except I don't think I've ever heard it sober and my second favorite is "all around the world its the same song" and the video with dan akroyd! yay! What did I win?
How many different spellings do you have for Tupac in your itunes?
NONE. CUZ I HATE TUPAC.
Can't stand this overrated idiot's music. In the GOAT category, he's completely outclassed, outshined and overshadowed by Biggie. Surely, the west coast has produced more talented mc's than this clown.
