Am I the only one that prefers pre-Death Row Pac over Death Row Pac?

[BlackMajik]

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that feels this way

Don't get me wrong. His Death Row shyt is still great but he had just become more vengeful (which I understand becuz he got shot)

Tracks like "The Streets R Deathrow" from his second album and "If I die tonite" from MATW are just

 

[Corndog]

No you're not alone, to me MATW is easily his best album. Don't really like the later stuff much

 

[JMD]

I somewhat agree, but…

the amount of classic tracks Pac recorded in his short time on Death Row is amazing

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

For me both are GOATED, I go back and forth on which Pac I prefer. MATW is my favorite album of his though so for the poll I agree.

 

[CrushedGroove]

This one is hard. 2 of my favorite songs by Pac are Who Do You Believe In and I Ain't Mad At Ya but that Thug Life and MATW run was so dope

Pre Death Row Pac

Pour out a lil liquor!

 

[Booker Carver]

Not alone. MATW is one my favorites. “if I die tonight” is

I mean, All Eyez On Me is goated tho

 

[Mandizi]

This is like #8 vs. #24

 

[Majestyx]

Pre Death row pac for me. Pain, Straight Ballin ..... How Long will they mourn me are

 

[BulletProof]

No.

But I think its overly simplistic to condense Pac's body of work into pre and post Death Row.

Especially when he had one official release on Death Row while alive and every album of his sounded different than the other in some significant regard.

Even the two on Death Row, AEOM and Makaveli, sound particularly different in a pretty dramatic way.

My list goes: 1. Makaveli 2. Me Against the World 3.All Eyez On Me.

My answer doesn't comply with your parameters.

 

[Swahili P'Bitek]

Thug life pac is my best version of him.

 

[Pop123]

Def Death Row Pac for me but pre-Death Row Pac was raw too. But yeah man, AEOM and Makaveli = Not even fair, lol.
