All Eyez On Me 1996 Album

2Pac

With many of the albums I have given the 5/5 rating to, it has often taken some thought and pondering whether or not to bestow the rating of perfection upon it. With this album though, I have never had any doubt. I don't buy the criticism that much of the second disc is filler or to rate an album with twenty-seven tracks down if a few don't work. At the end of the day the artist has given you double of what most albums have and in my opinion, almost everything is good-fantastic. Lyrically, you've got your gangster tracks like 'Ambitionz Az a Ridah' and '2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted', your chick/bitch tracks in 'How Do You Want It' and then songs which go deeper which Pac always did like 'I Ain't Mad at Cha', and so on. While it still bumps, the original 'California Love' was planned to be on Dre's album so Pac gets a weaker remix of the g-funk classic. The other criticism you could have is that lyrically it isn't as deep as his other albums, with Pac trying to fit into his new home on Deathrow. However, overall you have twenty plus great West Coast/G-Funk beats, thanks largely to Daz and Johnny J, with Pac doing what he did best which was tearing 'em apart. You can't play almost any song on this and not bump your head.
