Strictly 4 MY N.I.G.G.A.Z The Other side of 2pac Tupacs other side. Yes I would have to say this was the beginning stages of 2pacs ThugLife mentality. Basically he felt the society was against a young black male trying to succeed. He was apparently beaten up by 2 cops for J walking,before this album was released. Anyway this album again shows how lyrical Pac can be, and at the same time showing his views about cops, Media, and society. Cops would not like this album, but then again who likes cops. I give this Album and 8-10. Holla If Ya Hear Me 8-10 Good song, trys to get a message across. Directed mainly to cops and black males. Pac's Theme (Interlude)9-10 Directed to the media for how they protrayed him. He loops the lyrics in this song, with a guy from congress expressing his fell towards this type of music and 2pac countering.) Point The Finga 7-10 just as the title says people who point the finger. The ones who open the mouth without actual facts Something 2 Die 4 (Interlude) 8-10 Interlude with Pac usng some kind of synthesizer, real good lyrics in this one Last Wordz 8-10 good lyrics in this one, old schoolish beat. Souljah's Revenge 8-10 More Cop bashing in this one, pac took his agression out on the cops lyrically in this one. Peep Game 7-10 decent song Strugglin' Guess Who's Back Representin '93 Keep Ya Head Up 10-10 This was the very first song I heard by 2pac, one of the best lyrics by 2pac in this song Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. 9-10 Directed towards black males, good lyrics. More Cop bashing what else is new :) The Streetz R Deathrow I Get Around 9-10 The Playa in 2pac, talks about how he gets around with the Ladies Papa'z Song 8-10 Directed towards worthless dead beat fathers. Honest lyrics 5 Deadly Venomz

2pacalypse Now 2Pacs first solo album 2pac owes his whole solo career to Digital Underground. They basically put him in the door. 2pac used to be a back up dancer for them. Shock G admired Tupacs rapping ability so decided to give him a shot on a single called "Same Song". From there it was on . Tupac had made hisself known. One thing Im must say about the young Pac, was that his content was very Lyrical and less commercial. In this album he basically talks about the young black male in todays society. This album is more for people who are true lyricist. I give this album and 8 out of 10. Each song has some type of message. It speaks facts and opinions of Pac views on society. All the songs on this album Young Black Male - pretty good song 7-10 its a intro Trapped - good song good lyrics 9-10 Soulja's Story - honest lyrics really good 8-10 I Don't Give A Fuck - u have to listen to the lyrics 8-10 Violent- tells a story with a incident with police 8-10 Words Of Wisdom - Honest lyrics once again 8-10 Something Wicked - pretty good 7-10 Crooked Ass Nigga -decent song 6-10 If My Homie Calls - gives respect to his real friends 8-10 Brenda's Got A Baby - tells a story very good lyrics 9-10 Tha Lunatic - once again good lyrics 8-10 Rebel Of The Underground - gives respect to the underground 8-10 Part Time Mutha - Honest lyrics of single mothers 8-10 This is a pretty good album, once again for its lyrical content. You have to listen to the lyrics

Tupacs Albums Here is a collection of alot of Material that 2pac made. I will talk about each and every album. As Ive listened to all. 2pac was the kind of person that loved to be in the studio. ALways recording music etc. He averaged 3 songs a day. He was a thinker. He rapped about his experiences in life. Each album basically tells a story from him. Regardless of the content as long as he got his point across he was satisfied. 2PACALYSPE Stricltly For My NIGGAZ ThugLife Me Against The World All Eyez On Me Makeveli :7 day Thoery R U still Down?

I finally bought Tupac Resurrection I must say this is an excellent documentary. Tupac was a very intelligent individual. If anyone gets a chance check out the "Christmas interview".. Its on the special features section on the Dvd . He talks about how our society is, and how people who are wealthy buy a mansion with 50 rooms when a guy maybe around the corner cant even afford an apartment.Our government worries about other countries and yet there are starving people on the street. Just goes to show how fucked up the world is I rate this movie A+ all the way

Alot of 2pac hattin in this thread, but I stayed true like a real fan »some interesting facts said by 2pacs mom They got me starring at the world through my Rearview

Some Of Pacs Greatest Lyrics While I think all of Pacs lyrics were great, some stood out more than others here are some Me Against The World Second Verse With all this extra stressin' The question I wonder is after death I feel my last breath When will I finally get to rest from this oppression? They punish the people that's askin questions And those that possess Steal from the ones without possessions The message I stress To make it stop study your lessons Don't settle for less Even the genius asks questions, be grateful for blessings Don't ever change Keep your essence The power's in the people and the politics we address Always do your best Don't let this pressure make ya panic and when ya get stranded And things don't go the way ya planned it Dreaming of riches In a position of makin' a difference Politicians are hypocrites They don't wanna listen If I'm insane It's the fame made a brother change It wasn't nothin' like the game It's just me against the world Changes Third verse and still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace? there's war on the streets and the war in the Middle East instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me and I aint never did a crime I aint have to do but now I'm back from the locks givin back to you don't let them jack you up back you up crack you up and pimp smack you up you gotta learn to hold your own they get jealous when see you with your mobile phone but tell the cops they can't touch this I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this that's the sound of my tool you say it aint cool but momma didn't raise no fool and as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped and I never get to lay back cuz I always gotta worry bout the payback some punk that I ruffed up way back comin back after all these years rat-tat-tat-tat-tat, that's the way it is chorus some things will never change Hold Ya Head God bless the child that can hold is own Indeed Enemies bleed when I hold my chrome Let these words be the last To my unborn seeds Hope to raise my young nation in this world of greed Currency means nothing if you still ain't free Money breeds jealousy, take the game from me I hope for better days Trouble comes naturally Running from authorities Till they capture me And my aim, is to spread more smiles than tears Utilize lessons learned from my childhood years Maybe mama had it all right Rest your head Straight conversation all night Bless the dead To the homies that I used to have That no longer roll Catch a brother at the crossroads Plus, nobody knows my soul Watching time pass Through the glass of my drop top Rolls Hold your head

Appreciate your parents, especially Your "Mom" 2pac had a great Deal of of respect for his mother, she raised him for the majority of his life. He didnt really have a father figure, but he always respected his mother. He made a song dedicated to his mother. Dear Mama one of 2pacs greatest songs. This song showed that deep down in side that thug image, there was something else A person who loves and appreciates things. His mother Afeni shakur did her best to raise her son. Considering her being a single mom in todays society is really tough:(. I just wanna say be greatful for having a mother as you only get one give her a kiss as you read this. Regardless if she pisses you off, she is still that angel in your heart Dear Mama you are appreciated "Ain't a woman alive that could take my mama's place I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy, tryin to raise a man You always was committed A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it? There's no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I understand You are appreciated Pour out some liquor and I reminisce, cause through the drama I can always depend on my mama And when it seems that I'm hopeless You say the words that can get me back in focus And all my childhood memories Are full of all the sweet things you did for me Remember!!! appreciate that mom of yours as you Only get one

Some Rare Facts of Tupac Shakur Thanks to Hitemup.com Tupac was offered a record contract at the age of 13. Afeni however refused to let him sign anything at such a young age. She felt he had a lot to learn about the world before joining the music industry. Tupac intended for "R U Still Down?" to be released. Before becoming famous Tupac was part of the local Baltimore TV news Special. The program, called "Saturday Night Specials," was on a type of gun. Tupac spoke with great knowledge on the guns, speaking on how they were poorly and cheaply made. The video tape named "Tupac and Jada Home video" which appears on Tupac: Resurrection, was recorded at King's Dominion Amusement Park. Tupac enjoyed various types of music artists, including Eric Clapton, Tracy Chapman, Jimi Hendrix and Muddy Waters. He is quoted as calling Tracy Chapman a "True Poet." As a child, Tupac's friends often gave him clothes for Christmas and birthdays, because they were aware of the poverty in which he lived. For a time Tupac lived with Linda Pratt, wife of Gernimo Pratt, in Marin City. Tupac's favorite piece of music was from the play Les Miserables. He went to see the play with his then girlfriend Keisha Morris. The first known Tupac song is titled "When Will You Learn", a song about gun violence dedicated to a friend of his who was killed on the block. The friends name was Darren Berret. It's been said that Tupac copied the "Not wearing any shirt" dress sense from him. Tupac had a hand written rap on the wall of the Enoch Pratt Free library in Baltimore. It sat next to poetry by Edgar Allan Poe. (It has since been added to the vaults.) Biggie used to call Tupac "Duke" while Tupac called him Christopher. It was reported by Mike Dyson that the song "Vincent" by Don Maclean was played on repeat during Tupac's last hours. According to Suge Knight, the song "Never Had A Friend Like Me" was about their relationship because Suge once told Tupac "Your Enemies my Enemies." Johnny J told HitEmUp.com that the song Never Had a Friend Like Me was never completed as it was released in it's unmastered form. The Tupac poem "Nothing can come between us," was written for his friend John Cole, whom Tupac nicknamed "White Boy John." Tupac & Big Saccs both went looting together during the LA Riots. According to Sacc's, he and Tupac went straight from the studio to the hood and started looting. Tupac turned up at a ball at the Baltimore School Of The Art's dressed as Shaka Zulu. His roommate and close friend John Cole dressed as his white slave. Tupac and John won the best costume award. Herbie Lovebug, manger of "Salt-N-Peppa," was once asked by Tupac's group Born Busy to hear one of their raps. Herbie told them "Naw, I aint got time for this shit I gotta be on a plane in ten hours!" Years later when Tupac was at the opening of "Juice," Herbie approached him and expressed a desire to work with him. Tupac's reply wasn't one Herbie was looking for. Tupac and Mouse (childhood friend) once battled 1980's rap group star DMX (from Just Ice not the Rough Ryders camp.) The days before deathrow   What is he thinking in this picture?

A Speaker From The Heart One thing I really admired about 2pac was, how he spoke how he felt. He never changed his mood for anyone. People didn't always like what he had to say and it got him in to a lot of trouble, but he kept it real and always told things like they were. "That's how I feel, I'ma do whatever I like ... I was raised in this society so you can't expect me to be a perfect person cause I'ma do what I'ma do." The first time I heard 2pac was in 6th grade. the young anwgo from the day I heard him I knew I had aspiration. The first song I heard from him was "Keep Ya Head Up" Wow I was so touched by those lyrics at a young age. I immediately became a fan. He spoke the truth about minorities in America, In Lord Knows, in the second verse he says "and life is hard in tha ghetto, it's insanity I can't breath got me thinkin', what do hell got? cause I done suffered so much, i'm feelin' shell shocked and drive-by's are an everyday thang I already lost to many homies to this mothafucken' game and Lord Knows...." How many people do you know who would say" I smoke a blunt to take tha pain out and if I wasn't high probably try ta blow my brains out"?? Its takes alot to say that on record. Thats one thing that seperated him from everyone "Always speaking from the heart" He knew the struggles of the ghetto and pain. You could here it in his voice. One of my favorite pitctures of 2pac
