All Eyez on Me

CLASSIC, I'd give it 50 stars if I could. This is the best CD by anyone in any music genre.

Tragically, the life of this poet and rapper has been cut short in its prime. Tupac prophesied his own early demise. And he moved toward that end with fatalism worthy of a Greek tragedy.
All Eyez on Me is a set of two CDs that are among the greatest rap has ever produced. Despite his outward insistence on thuggishness, Tupac was very sensitive, far more so than the average thug, or any average person for that matter. Sensitivity led to originality and an important cultural product. Tupac celebrates thug life, along with its pain and its doom.

The beats and the production on this album are great and go so well together with Tupac's rhymes. Tupac was a genius who made a commitment to live out his life as a thug and kept it. This was his mission, and he felt he needed to fulfill it, with all eyes staring at him, even those who refused to C him...

Tupac Shakur is hip hop and rap's premier embassador of the ghetto and street life. His profound mother, Afeni Shakur, raised him to be a intelluctual leader to fight against the troubles of the black community living in a "white man's world". All Eyez On Me is Tupac's fourth album and first since his bail from Rikers Island. This CD contains all of Pac's accumalitive thoughts and ideas that he grasped from books and his experiences in his troubled life. Book 1 contains all of the released singles, and demonstrates his Westside style in tracks like "All About U", "2 of Amerikkka'z Most Wanted", and "Cali. Love". The production is good on this CD and his mostly done by Deathrow producer Daz Dillinger. "I Aint Mad At Cha" is definetly the CD's best song. The catchy piano laced background melody cradles Pac's lyrics of his thought of death. "Only God Can Judge Me" and "Life Goes On" are two tracks that embarse Tupac's lyrical capability and also compensate his thoughts on death. Book 2 alone can be sold as a seperate CD. The style and production is a bit different but still keeps that Pac flavor. Tracks like "Shorty Wanna Be a Thug" and "All Eyes On Me" make you realize how unique Tupac was. "Picture Me Rollin" is the best laid back cruisin song that anyone can jam too while riding in their car. Dr. Dre produced "Cant C Me" gives you that Westside feeling with a "bump". All in all, The greatest rapper to ever spit calls himself 2PAC. Nobody will ever surpass his accomplishments and number of songs put out. All Eyez On Me cannot be critiqued or hold one's opinon, yet only one can judge Pac and a world can listen to his talent.


2Pac.... the rap game is just not the same without you.   January 13, 2004

2Pac appeared as the all time best rapper.... and I can see why. Each of his albums sold great, he was the most realest gangster ever... he was just an awesome guy. He and his enemy, The Notorious B.I.G., were just the most awesome people in the thug history. They both started out in the early days,and didn't live the long lifes they should of. They were awesome. This album, All Eyez On Me, probably sold as the best selling rap album. Many songs "2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted", "How Do You Want It" "all about u" made there way to blazing hits, and theye were unforgettable songs, and still are, eventhough 2pac is dead now. And it includes [the remix] of 2Pac's biggest hit "California Love" which the normail version was only released on 2Pac's greatest hits, which [might] of sold better than this one. But to the point, after the two kings of rap left this world, rap was just not the same. Rap IS still awesome, but just not the same. Those two really kept the game real, and I will always remember them. I hope everyone does. Even if there are some new kings of the rap game, forget them! keep 2pac and biggie in your heart! theye are the REAL kings. "hit Em' Up" [which is not on this album] really made me sad/mad. Why couldn't the two best rappers in the game get along. Which in the beggining of the game theye were. Did concerts together, but since Biggie copied 2Pac's stuff, theye were never the friends that theye were before.Puff daddy, and the whole BadBoy Records crew, were all enemys of 2Pac.It was a big rap battle. Later, in 1996, after 2Pac's death, Biggie Smalls was getting interviewed alot. More later, owner of death row records, Suge Knight, hired someone to kill Biggie. After that, the whole rap game was never like it was before. There is no one, as gifted as 2pac. His mother should be proud of what such talent her son was gifted with. He is just an awesome person. No one can match him. So, people, listen to what I said, take it to heart, that no matter what, 2pac will be in are hearts.
