All Eyez on Me

I have been listening to this cd now since 1996 when i was in High school and it brings me back every time/every song. This was an awesome cd and still is. people up&coming in the game study it and use it in their own way. you can hear pac in countless people. Pac's spirit will always be there. The remixed version of some of his songs don't do it justice but some are cool as a newer feeling. all in all this is the best rap cd for me. give it a try if your part of my generation if your young you probably will never understand pac's influence on people...

2Pac-All Eyez On Me *****

The statement that at least 90% of the time this, All Eyez On Me is the album blasting from the car next to you sounds like hype but the thing is...their right. Recording for this album started the day 2Pac was released from prison. After spending the last year in prison Pac had a head full of ideas; many of which were among his best and most creative of his career.

All Eyez On Me is more than just another rap album, it might just be THE rap album. Two discs of solid work. Double albums are a rare art form, and even rarer are the good ones. This is among the best. Released during the death of the genre, it set the standard with it's release. After 2Pac and Biggy died rap lost it's power. Everyone seemed to give in. Now it is very rare to find someone who says anything. The Game, Kanye, and Common are the few who actually say something with their music while still incorporating the club. That is why rap gets a bad rap these days. While 2Pac prophesied his own death, almost the way Nostradamus would have. He died soon after this album, as did raps golden age.

'Ambitionz Az A Ridah' 'All Bout U' 'How Do U Want It' and 'California Love' among other tracks became some of the biggest hits and most legandary cuts in rap radio history. But it is tracks like 'life Goes On' 'Shorty Wanna Be A Thug' and 'Thug Passion' that make the album. They show the lyrical genius of Pac, the poetic brilliance of his mind.

If it isn't the greatest album in rap history it is damn close. If Patti Smith was the poetic genius of Punk, 2Pac is her doppelganger of rap, and for that alone the mans work is worth a peak. All Eyez On Me is street brilliance. Highly Recommended.

I have owned this cd many times. It disappears from my house many times also, but that's ok. If more folks get exposed to Pac they would see that he truly transcended rap and hip-hop. Very few of the tracks on both cd's would be classified as filler tracks. One of the greatest albums of all times- any genre. I won't say anything about the music itself because I would be selling the album short. Please get THIS album and listen to it through and through for yourself if you never have. I'll be anxiously awaiting your reviews afterward. TUPAC SURVIVES!!!!!!!!

"All Eyez on Me" is a very nice album, especially the first disc. Disc two is filled with mediocre to good songs, but nothing exceeds good. As a unit, this album is easily a rap classic. 2 Pac gives a strong delivery and thought-provoking lyrics on most every single song. He is so many people's favorite rapper, me included. He has a technique which captures listeners from the first line. This album features classics such as "I Ain't Mad at Cha", "How Do You Want It?", `All About You", and the album's strongest cut, "Life Goes On." I wish Pac would have left his friends off of this album for there are way too many guest appearances and many of them were apart of his group, The Outlawz. They are alright as rappers, but they don't hold a flame or candle to 2 Pac. Other guests include Snoop, Dr. Dre, George Clinton and K-Ci and Jo-Jo. Each of these artists do a wonderful job with their contributions. Most of the production on this album is very good. It's one of the reasons this album faired so well with me

Rap fans, this album was released on February 12, 1996, so Lord knows it should already be in your collection, but if for some reason it is not, do add it immediately. 4 stars.
