2PAC ALL EYEZ ON ME POLL

what tracks dont you like on cd1?

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

o yeah the sequencing does kinda suck.

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.

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"

got my mind made up = underrated

forgot about no more pain!!

disc 1 > disc 2

I've never heard the whole album because I bought the "California Love" cassingle with "How Do U Want It" on side B.

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.

bahahahahaha

Geir to thread

loool

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.

Am I the only person on earth that thinks Tupac is a boring, overrated hack?

Best thing about 2pac: he set the stage for Ja Rule!

I can never understand a word dude is saying on 7 Day Theory despite the fact that he seems to be yelling the whole time. Shit is all in the red.

BIG HOOS aka the audiophile

Am I the only person w/that problem? It took me a long time to get into Pac at all cause I got 7 Day first and was like "Lyricist? I can't hear the dude!"

clairvoyance!

how did 'Got My Mind Made Up' get zero votes?

3. Skandalouz 0

this shit is rong!!!!

so goooooooooooooooood 5 stars on a scale of 4

**bumpin thug passion**

the participation level on this poll is pretty pathetic really given that Tupac is all-time on any list worth reading

movin smoooth as a muthafucker me and my nine / im cool as a muthafucka ima get mine

the crit response to him ranks up w/ critics hating on led zeppelin in the history of 'wow u guys just dont GET IT' imo

'check out time' (((((((((((d-_-b))))))))))) it dont matter just dont bite it

you think we all dogs / thats why you cross us when i approach you / been talkin since you arrived / but not a word is spoken / through my eye contact, i wink and you respond back / look at me, whats all that? / its like the closer you get / baby the quicker im speakin / i gotta flight out to cabo / lets kick it this weekend / im sippin hennessy and coke / addicted to weed smoke / im fiendin for your body even more

bail on these hos in floss mode/the life of a boss player/fuck what you thought tho/my enemies deceased/die like a bitch/when my album hit the streets

THE SCREWED FLAV SAMPLE AT THE END OF THE LYRIC IN CAN'T C ME

not everyone I know has to love 2pac but anybody who can't somewhat feel him is suspect

big syke's verse on "all eyez on me" is one of my fav guest verses ever. great beat as well, a shame it got no votes. maybe people prefer the nas version?

btw hoos was right, 7 day sounds like shit esp. next to all eyez

MY LYRICS MOTIVATE THE plANET!!!

ya body is bangin baby i love it when u flaunt it

7. No More Pain 0

Srsly

Should be re-polled imo.

alleviate your clothes

heartz of men or holla at me or i ain't mad atcha or no more pain or picture me rollin' or only god can judge me or whatz ya phone #????

every beat on this is perfect and sounds like a million bucks

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.

i love this album so much

you're otm about "i got my mind made up" neanderthal. just stacked with one amazing verse on top of the next

the verses literally run through my head once a week, still.

especially Meth's

even Kurupt is a bit, uhh, less gangster and more lyrical than usual

play Russian roulette and have a blast

*a game of*

also like Redman's "non-believers get my dick and genital backwards"

guessin' "wonder Why they Call Ya Bitch" didn't age too well

tfw the synth turns into a heart monitor beep on “only god can judge me”

best album ever

i still laugh out loud at snoop's bit about seeing the video girl on screen in the million march

we should re-poll this, zero votes for the title track or "2 of amerikkkaz" or "life goes on" is insane to me

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.

How do u want it all day

fascinating to me that ambitionz is his most streamed song on spotify. it wasnt even a single.

daz killed every song he produced on that album. skandalouz sounds like quik had a hand in it.

i love the mix of guests on this album

ambitionz is constantly referenced and interpolated, it’s embedded itself in the rap firmament

it’s still def surprising that it has so many more streams than california love

"Ambitions" forever

if im being honest with myself i dont think i have it in my top 5 on the album. prob in that 7-10 range

for me it’s “heartz of men”

same

"Only God Can Judge Me" for Rapping 4-tays verse

Or "Holla At Me"

ambitionz is constantly referenced and interpolated, it’s embedded itself in the rap firmament

it’s still def surprising that it has so many more streams than california love

first song on a sprawling double album and people have no attention span these days - idk seems reasonable to me

That doesn’t seem to be enough of a reason. Was it used in a show or as a TikTok trend or something?

I heard it on the radio yesterday.

... on a throwback jamz station but it was still a pleasant surprise.

I think a lotta people also retro learned about it after the Fabolous single with same hook came out

it’s an all time opener, that’s for sure. Although I can’t decide if it’s better than “if I die tonight”

It's a fucking incredible track, 2Pac at his best.

Ambitionz was on Grand Theft Auto 5
