Even if he hadn't been cruelly gunned down, anyone who was paying attention knew his story wouldn't have a happy ending. His public persona was so confused: a tempestuous mix of poet, thug, sensitive soul, and woman-chasing playa. The same elements that made his downfall so unavoidable are the ones that make it a no-brainer that he would continue to fascinate and sell records years after he took his residence in heaven's ghetto. STILL I RISE is 2Pac's fifth posthumous release. For all his posing and posturing, 2Pac did possess a lifetime worth of talent, talent that was crammed into his brief time in the spotlight. Even what's left over at this late date has significant artistic merit. From Letter to the President, an earnest, simple, and direct admonition to Bill Clinton to the simple, perfectly old-school Homeboyz (which harkens back to his DU days), the tracks on STILL I RISE showcase what 2Pac was--an intelligent, complex talent.[Reviews]The Wire (3/00, p.64) - ...In places Tupac sounds split in two, playing the part of wise father 'for himself'...Uncut (3/00, p.91) - 3 stars out of 5 - ...It's pleasingly diverse...n
Advantages: Fresh 2pac verses - great production Disadvantages: Outlawz - not enough 2pac
Known to be 2Pac's 4th posthumous release album, this is a bit different from all the other ones he has released. Featuring his group, the Outlawz, he created 15 songs that are all well worth listening. Each and every song has an interesting and excellent meaning and the time he put in to make the lyrics incredible is just amazing. As a result, the lyrics are one of 2Pac's finest and even the Outlawz come out good as well. Most of the CD is soft ... ...tracks come on. Songs like 'BABY DON'T CRY', 'TEARDROPS & CLOSED CASKETS', 'STILL I RISE' and 'AS THE WORLD TURN' are excellent tracks to listen to. 'BABY DON'T CRY' outlines the usual life of a ghetto child and is about a woman's worth. The tune is adorable and the lyrics are just mind-blowing. 'STILL I RISE' is one of the mellowest tracks I've heard by 2Pac, outlining the ups and downs of 2Pac's life. 'TEARDROPS & CLOSED CASKETS' is by far the ...
