GOAT album. no skips on a double disc Every feature was dope. Pac was hungry. Production was on another level

[Mandizi]

One of the most live Hip hop albums ever released. A celebration of Pac coming home and the west coast/Cali lifestyle. Deserves every accolade it has and will receive. R.I.P. GOAT

You lived through it .... If he did "MAKAVELI" with the wack room imagine what he would of done with all that 96 DEVANTE brings ...... Timbo as mentioned, Missy..... Basement crew ......ah what could of been if not for ego

 

[L $ C]

the fact it sounds so fresh and so good....

theres a good argument its the greatest hip hop album ever. it isnt in my top 3 altho 7 day theory is but the argument is

its the magnum opus of hip hop imo

Its crazy that the album doesn't sound outdated. You can still bump this in 2026 & still sounds good. Classic!!!!!

 

[papertrail08]

Crazy how he died exactly 7 months after this album came out

Classic album.

Although, it's not my favorite Pac album, and I do believe there's a lot of filler and questionable guest choices.

I don't dislike the Outlawz (although I only like Big Syke and Storm), however, I've noticed Pac didn't enlist some of the best from the West Coast, and that's the disappointing thing about the album, not enough Death Row is represented on the album compared to the label's previous releases (The Chronic, Doggystyle, Murder Was The Case, Dogg Food, etc), which made those special because it gave off a “family” vibe.

I feel that the original idea for the album would've been better, but Suge prioritized sales, as he didn't think the Pro-Black, militant, and politically conscious raps would sell.

This is the one album during Pac's run in which it feels like he's playing a character rather than himself.

This is my previous opinion on the album...

All Eyez On Me starts off great, but midway through the album, things start to sound a bit “samey” in the sense that, melodically, it becomes one big song, I feel like although the album was a departure from the signature G-Funk sound, it lacked the variety that made The Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food, and not to mention the Death Row Soundtracks (Above The Rim, Murder Was The Case, etc) great. As far as the lyrics go, while Pac ain't no slouch, the overall performances from the features are subpar, and the subject matter that galvanized listeners and made Pac stand out was neutralized in favor of a cookie-cutter West Coast gangsta rap affair.

Infamously, after listening to AEOM, critics called Pac a cardboard cutout of a guy impersonating a thug. I repeat for clarity, they weren't saying he was impersonating a thug, but rather that he's the guy who is impersonating the guy who's impersonating the actual thug. In other words, lyrically, Pac wasn't in his true authentic form throughout this album.

"All Eyez on Me" is the prime example that an album can be considered "classic" while being far from perfect.

First disc is nearly flawless. The second disc is mediocre at best.

My favorite Pac album, though.

My favorite line from this .. “and fukk yo boyfriend bytch I want some ass tonight…”

I think I might prefer the og

I felt that way too, I heard that the K-Ci and Jojo feature was added just to boost sales both versions knock to me

GOAT DOUBLE DISC ALBUM
