2PAC ALL EYEZ ON ME POLL

people who complain about "r&b beats" on west coast rap thoroughly don't get it

I love the beats on the album for the most part, really aren't many duds

God do I love that Rappin' 4-Tay verse on Only God Can Judge Me.
that and the Method Man verse on I Got My Mind Made Up are my favorite guest spots on the album.

"check out time" somewhere in top 5 all time posse cuts ever

every big syke verse on this album is a classic imo

Check Out Time is great, love the beat on that.

that snare sound on Ambitionz is XD

^^^realest shit

That snare is more of a splash than a snare, cool sound tho. I love the snare on Got My Mind Made Up, which for about 3 years was my favorite song off AEOM.

RANDOM FACT:

did you know that Inspectah Deck did the last verse on that song but it was cut cos they thought the song was too long, hence the "I N S the rebel" at the end before it fades out.

This is supposedly it:

ALl these song are undeniable, cant be mad at any pick really.

Currently I'd pick Heartz Of Men, Picture Me Rollin or No More Pain. How Do You Want it is still one of my favorite songs to grind to.

i hope i voted for "can't c me"

skandalous would be my current one

& no love for "shorty wanna be a thug"??? i demand a recount!

Probably deserves it. Pretty much every song named in this thread has been my favorite at some point tho.

& no love for "shorty wanna be a thug"??? i demand a recount!

ditto all eyez on me, wonda why they call u bitch. there's that kanye beat on graduation that's shooting for a shorty wanna be a thug thing.

i always wish someone would write one of those books about the making of this record. about all of it, i don't understand what the process was, what the productions are made up of, etc.

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.

I SEE DEATH AROUND THE CORNER

god man "Only God Can Judge Me" STILL gives me chills. I love 4-Tay's verse on it too.

gotta say "What's Ya Phone #" is really the only flat out 'dud' to me on Disc 1

love that song

i feel like I only whip these discs out during moments of extreme stress. it always does the trick tho

sad that 4tay's career didn't launch more...just got "Don't Fight the Feelin" of his....underrated

"thug passion" is the most underrated joint

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.

dr dre ALL DAY

only god, mang

fuck everybody else

20 years old now....

Not enough love for "no more pain"

heartz of men for sure

i guess maino plays the guy that shoots him outside the studio in nyc

the movie felt way too much like a lifetime biopic rather than something complex, thoughtful or gritty. At best it was fun at times though (the soundtrack certainly helps things)

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
