Advantages: Newest Tupac CD
Disadvantages: He's not alive to see it released

...just as good if not better than his other ones. It's a double CD so it means you get allot of songs for your money and its not a usual double CD where 3/4 of the songs are rubbish. All the songs on this album are good. The one song which I believe is not as good is the others and that is better dayz as it seems that 2Pac got as bit lazy when doing the chorus as he only says better dayz twice and then starts a new verse (Well that lazy in my terms ...

Advantages: Awesome lyrics and beats, shows his completeness as an artist, all the radio hits
Disadvantages: Not enough early 2Pac tracks

...for different reasons with this Greatest Hits album being the obvious one to go for. 2Pac created so many great songs during his short career that the Hits could have easily been a 3 or 4 disc effort let alone a standard double CD. This album is great for all hip hop fans. If anyone wants to get into 2Pac's music now, then the greatest hits is a good starter, but you only get a brief scent of how complex and genius he was as an artist and person ...
...who he was through the Greatest Hits. The Greatest Hits contains near enough all the singles released from 2Pac's albums when he was alive. I'm generally not a fan of having previously unreleased tracks included on greatest hits albums but "Unconditional Love" and "God Bless The Dead" are quality inclusions. "Unconditional Love" is rumoured to be the last ever track he recorder before his death and the lyrics are very touching. It's pointless going ... Read review

Advantages: Good beats, good flow at times
Disadvantages: weak lyrical content

The much anticipated follow up to 50 Cent's impressive "Get rich or die tryin'" falls flat. In the two years between the albums we were under the impression that 50 Cent is a heavy gangsta rap hitter. However he goes back on his word in this disappointing album. He promised the bubblegum rap would stop, yet we are treated to songs such as candy shop, just a lil bit, build you up and so amazing featuring g units first lady, olivia. 1 "Intro" 2 "In ...

Advantages: Tupak is awsome
Disadvantages: A bit strage for Tupac

This album hasn’t really grown on me as well as some of his other albums. Don’t get me wrong, its not that I didn’t like it its just quite different to the usual 2Pac stuff. I’ve had the album for about 4 years now and I bet I’ve not listened to it more than 20 times. The best song on it is “Brenda’s got a baby”. Which is the tenth song on the album. If you have the album yourself you will defiantly ... Read review

Advantages: Sublime lyrics and taking the mick out of people
Disadvantages: none

Listening to STRICTLY FOR MY N.I.G.G.A.Z. is like listening to 2PACALYPSE NOW, PART TWO, which is not a bad thing, but a GOOD thing. There are sporadic insults hurled at politician Dan Quayle, who ostracized Tupac's debut album; and Tupac still sticks to the same subject matter--Get the connection? Sounding like a cohesion of the 1960's Black-Power socio-political thought, the 1960's and '70's black musical landscape and the 1990's gangsta rap persona, ...
...like "Holla If Ya Hear Me"--with its resounding African drums and thundering organs--the hectic "Last Words", and "Souljah's Revenge" reveal Tupac at his commentative best, while more emotional tracks like "Keep Ya Head Up" and "Papa'z Song" find Tupac exalting black women and denouncing his negligent father respectively. It's quite interesting to know that in "Pac's Theme (Interlude)", the social commentator recognizes his shortcomings--"I'm not ... Read review
