i like all the tracks really its just kinda different moods and shit, like when you wanna hear all about u is not the same as when you wanna hear life goes on or the weak california love remix
― and what, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 17:35 (sixteen years ago) link
o yeah the sequencing does kinda suck.
― max, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link
and that california love remix is really ugh
Can't C Me has one of the ten best Dre productions evah, and that line, "My own mama say I'm thugged out/My shit be poppin' out the record stores as if it was a drug house." 2Pac sounding so intense.
― talrose, Wednesday, 5 September 2007 19:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Cali love remix is classic if only for the Troutman vocoder a capella at the end. Anyway, "How Do U Want It", (best summer song ever?) followed by "Ambitionz az a Ridah" & "Heartz of Men"

My favourite hip-hop album ever!
Voted "Can't C Me" but there are lots of really great G-funk tracks here. Shame about the rapping, but the rest of the music is great.

This is God's will. And everybody that said I wasn't nothing...my whole goal is to just make them ashamed that they wrote me off like that. Because I'm 23 years old. And I might just be my mother's child, but in all reality, I'm everybody's child. You know what I'm saying? Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society. But I'm not going to use that as an excuse no more. I'm going to pull myself up by my bootstraps, and I'm going to make a change. And my change is going to make a change through the community. And through that, they gonna see what type of person I truly was. Where my heart was. This Thug Life stuff, it was just ignorance. My intentions was always in the right place. I never killed anybody, I never raped anybody, I never committed no crimes that weren't honorable-that weren't to defend myself. So that's what I'm going to show them. I'm going to show people my true intentions, and my true heart. I'm going to show them the man that my mother raised. I'm going to make them all proud.

always return to this one and "I Got My Mind Made Up" always slays me the most. it has multiple verses that still repeat in my head all the time, particularly Pac's, Method Man's, and Kurupt's. just quality lyricism front to back, kinda a "fuck you, East Coast, we can do this too" type of feel to it....sandwiched in the middle of some trad West Coast jamz.

yeah, sonically it's stunning. thematically, lyrically, it's probably his masterwork.
just the first notes of "Ambitionz as a Ridah" are enough to get me amped.
I still love the abstract west coast vs east coast lyricism of "I Got My Mind Made Up", with a relative who's who of guests on it, the lyrics of each verse I can still recite from memory.
"Holla at Me" has a great chorus too.

2 of Amerikkaz and Life Goes ON shoulda gotten votes, yeah.
my local soccer team won last night, dramatically, so I put on my hip hop playlist and was looking for the right celebratory anthem, and I kept skipping and "Ambitions as a Ridah" came on and my choice was made.
