Rose Vol.2, The (Music Inspired By Tupac's Poetry/Parental Advisory) [PA] - Various Artists

Advantages: BK is one of the best Dj's goin
Disadvantages: If you're not into dance/trance music this isn't for you

...This 2 Disc Cd has 37 tunes on it, ranging from Yer Man - Good Grief ,BK- Playing with Knives,The Pridigy- No Good. As it's BK on this CD the outcome is Hard House/Trance which I prefer but some of you will be expecting it to be like Vol4, which it isn't all the way I'm afraid, but stil a definite must. In my opinion the first cd is a bit of a grower, the main cd is the second one however which from the first beat of BK & Ed Real's A Little Love has you wanting more until the end, and then more again! BK's choice of tracks and mixing skills go a long way on this Album, my faourite's include X-Complex, The Walk and Antic's- The Ultimate, two huge house anthems. For me this is a must have as part of the Extreme Euphoria Collection, obviously not everyone's choice of music but a wikid choice for all you club heads!... Read review

Advantages: great look in to his early poetry
Disadvantages: no tupac rappin but tupac lyrics

I have had this cd for 1 month and i think it is the best .No it doesnt have tupac rappin in it but it is his words that came from him and his super artist mind. all of these tracks on the cd are said sung rapped etc by various of different artists. this cd is for any tupac fan it is a look into the other side of him deeper into his life, of wat he did for fun none of the gangs and shootings and that but poetry from the heart from feelings that he was going through when he wrote these poems think cd i think is superb ,a must get cd. i bought it for about £8 at bluewater in hmv it was on offer.What attracted me to this item well i am a big big big tupac fan and this is the only cd i havent got so far i have got every cd brought out in england sso far so i thought ill get this to see what it was like and after...

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, STRICTLY FOR MY N.I.G.G.A.Z. is a very attractive collage. Songs 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.
