For some reason this album has been on non stop rotation like the whole year


I'm literally becoming a 2pac stan as an adult....I dunno. I was always a fan of Pac but now I'm really finding myself relating....I dunno if I've just seen levels of sadness and emotion that I never experienced as a kid now that I'm an adult but Pac was just the realest.


This is definitely his most consistent project.....So many Tears, death around the corner is my shyt....

The title track.....man it's a shame Pac is gone.


If you don't mind me asking....How old are you?



I always said that as people get older and start dealing with the pains of reality(everybody has to face it) Pac would start growing on you.


I used to tell my lil brother that all the time.He was on Mike Jones/ Dipset type shyt.He would always say he thought Pac was to simple


But now that he's a lil older and got lil bit of pain in his belly, he's on some

"Ayyoo, that Pac go hard:ohmy:" type shyt.



He's the one rapper that will always stand the test of time.A lot of nikkaz are going to be forced to push that hate aside and just admit he's the goat before it's all said and done

I remember when the mag Rap Pages was still around, Pac in an interview said he intended to title this album "fukk the World", then go underground after he dropped it.

Rappers say all kinds of crazy things in interviews but imagine if that would've happened.

true story, my favorite pac song is heavy in the game.... when i need to get into a hustling mindset that song does it...


"I don't care what it did to theeem the games been good to me"


That's my shyt man,I can play all of pacs last 3 albums through without skippin though....I could say the same for Thug Life vol 1 too though pretty much...pacs 3 album run subject matter wise is waaaay more diverse then Pacs....but Pacs 3 album run is his life as its happening up until the end....u got the album where he's paranoid,goin thru trial for the rape.....then the followup which is the celebration album and stuntin on the nikkas that tried to kill em....final album the paranoia is back believing the end might be possible ...matw and 7th day equally as eerie...AEOM gives u the :russ: its a celebration bytchez feelin...I'm glad he gave us that too

This whole album is dear to me because I was out on the street tryna do my little thing and bumped this heavily back then. It felt like every pac joint was talking to me. Nobody could show emotion like pac.

"Don't settle for less.......EVEN A GENIUS ASKS QUESTIONS!!!!"
"Don't ever change, keep your essence. The power is in the people and politics we address"

"Back in junior high when we were barley getting by and daddy died, that's when my mama start getting high"

"Cause all I see is, murder murder, my mind state preoccupied with homicide, tryin to survive through this crime rate"

"Before I close my eyes I fantasize I'm livin well when I awake and realize I'm just a prisoner in HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLL"

If I die, never worry, bury me beside my four-five May God forgive me, I was high

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery Left me alone I grew up amongst a dyin breed

and this line :noah:

More bodies being buried, I'm losing my homies in a hurry They're relocating to the cemetery Got me worried, stressing, my vision's blurried

I agree, as you get older Pac's music moves you in a whole different level. I was 12 when he passed; just a kid at the time listening to all this greatness, and not fully comprehending it all.

I was always a Pac stan but now as I get older I've gained a deeper appreciation for his music. This album is my favorite album of all time. Nothing comes close in terms of realness in my opinion. I've been playing it front to back at least twice a day for the past two months. Just going through some shyt and this is the music I can relate to best at the moment.

Lord Knows, Lil nikkas, Outlaws, Death Around The Corner, Shed So Many Tears, Death Around The Corner are my favorite tracks.
