Prophet, The (The Best Of The Works/Parental Advisory) [PA] - 2Pac

Advantages: Lots of hits
Disadvantages: Some tracks were lesser known

...were put together then they would have had a bigger impact in psyching-up the listener. 6. Hit 'Em Up **Five Stars** The diss track of all time, it will never be beaten. This is the the best exmple of 2Pac work with his emotions as high as they get, spitting about his Bad Boy fued. I love how this feels so in your face that it is as if he is shouting directly as you. The beat is a classic one and was later used as a sample to the remix of TLC's "Unpretty". THe way Pac humilates the people he is dissng is great becasue there is no way they will be able to recover from it. 7. Tattoo Tears **Four Stars** This is a track which sees 2Pac team up with the Outlawz. This is a funky track and it reflects the theme he is trying to portray. He is shedding tattoo tears, something seen usually amongst criminals who have killed in... Read review

Advantages: Amazing Man
Disadvantages: NONE

...charector brenda is a 12 year old girl that is having a baby. Its the fact that 2Pac is a poet that this song goes very well, he covers all the dangers of having a baby underage in 'The ghetto'. 3. Keep Ya Head Up ------------------ This is one of the classics the song was released just before he went to jail and he gets his point across. The song is very deep its mainly about women and how he thinks they should be treated with more respect. The song is excellently constructed which made him one of the best rappers ever. 2. Me Against The World ----------------------- This song was released after the first time Tupac was shot. Amazingly he was shot 5 times and didn't die. This song is about the struggles in life. He was shot 5 times for being in the wrong place he was killed for being famous which is a common thing in modern day... Read review

Advantages: Double CD, great original tracks
Disadvantages: A couple of weaker songs, but not many

...This is definitely my favourite 2Pac album. It has so many original tracks, 29 in total, with some great remixes, like Let 'Em Have It, Until The End Of Time, and Niggaz Nature, which is one of my favourite tracks on the album. Disk 1 starts off with some great tracks, showing off the range 2Pac has, ranging from the heavier 'Ballad Of A Dead Soulja' to the much lighter, and in my opinion better, 'Lil' Homies'. The standard does remin high all the way through, to Until The End Of Time and World Wide Mob Figgaz, with the only let down in my opinion being M.O.B., but that is just a personal opinion. My favourite songs on this disk have to be Lil' Homies, All Out and World Wide Mob Figgaz, but most songs on this disk are very good. The start of disk 2 is probably better than disk 1, with the tracks, My Closest Roaddoga, Niggaz Nature... Read review
