His Most Inconsistent Album 'Holler If Ya Hear Me' is a classic Pac anthem. The two interludes are laced with nice laid back production making them worthwhile as well. 'Point the Finga' goes hard, as does 'Last Words' featuring the two Ices. Upon revisiting the album at this stage I'm wondering why I haven't rated this album higher. However, it soon becomes apparent as it falls into problems for a run of tracks, where the production falls into a hole - not a large one, but they just get a touch boring. Even 'Keep Ya Head Up', with its important lyrics, just doesn't have interesting enough production. There is also 'Guess Who's Back' in the middle of the album that feels like it should be an introductory song. As I had thought may have been the case, on the cassette issue, it begins side B which makes sense I suppose. It gets better from there though. The title track 'Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z...' is an improvement. As is the Nostradamus like titled 'The Streetz R Deathrow' that features samples that have been used on other great hip hop songs. Then the last three songs go well as well with 'I Get Around', 'Papa'z Song' and '5 Deadly Venomz'. The Ice Cube influence on Pac is very evident here, with the Don Mega being sampled and featured, along with the aspects of the production throughout the album being similar to early Cube releases. It's consistent in that all the worst songs are basically bundled together in the middle, but overall it is the Pac album with the most average songs, largely due to weak production, and the least great songs. Best Tracks: Holla If Ya Hear Me, Point the Finga, Last Words, The Streetz R Deathrow, I Get Around
