Amazon.com: 26 cuts of "gangsta rap" that only increase in doom when you realize the guy talking it didn't live to laugh about it. Perhaps he now knows the answer to his question, "I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto," which shows up here twice. Shakur, like most hard rappers, liked to sound tough, kicking it with song titles unprintable in a family newspaper. But, underneath the braggadocio, there was fear. "Only Fear of Death," "Nothing to Lose," and "I'm Losin' It" tell a far different story than "Fake Ass Bitches." His artistry could never, however, catch up to the sad fate of his life. --Rob O'Connor
Too Classic By the time this album was released I had all of Tupac's albums memorized and played out. I've memorized and played out all of the Makaveli albums since then as well. 96/97 were insane years, this album represents that time, in my opinion. Just as 2008 is an insane year and some of you might have an album to represent that time for you. In retrospect after all these years, I must say that my favorite Pac albums are: 1) Me Against The World 2) R U Still Down? 3) Makaveli 7 Day Theory 4) Still I Rise 5) All Eyez On Me Personally I could do without All Eyez On Me now, it was great when it came out in my opinion, but I find that I really can play out that album, unlike with the first 2 favorites. Just my own opinion though. Still, I'd have to say that Me Against the World and R U Still Down? are the albums that I feel were his best after all is said and done. The West Coast vs. Bad Boy thing just got silly and pointless after a while though, fans don't want to be pulled into that mess. I feel you will not regret getting R U Still Down? even 10 years from now.
Pac Everything of Pacs is great even an album that is one of his less selling ones
The Best Posthumous Pac Album............. Top Joints: R U Still Down? (Remember Me) Hellrazor Thug Style I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto Nothing To Lose I'm Gettin Money Lie To Kick It F**k All Y'All Definition Of A Thug N**ga When I Get Free Do For Love Nothin But Love
What would Jezus do? If Jezus was riding alongside 2Pac would he have shot back at the snipers who took down hip/hop's only real martyr? Ok, Biggie's a martyr too, and Jezus would not have taken Biggie out either. The hits on these two men were not by true hip/hop fans. But Jezus would have picked this CD up if he was shopping at Circuit City when it came out, without having listened to it just because 2Pac was praying on the cover, and we all know who he was praying to. 2Pac made a lot more sense to ghetto youth than some white guy from 2000 years ago, plain and simple, so Jezus owes him respect!
Real Life This is Tupac's third best album. #1 All eyez on me, #2 Until the End of Time. Put this cd in the player and listen to it from start to finish. If you dont get goosepimples, check your pulse! This cd got me through many hard times growin up, its that real.
