Marketadvisory.com essential recording
Simultaneously serving as both endless fodder for intellectual debates and the album most likely to be blaring out of the adjacent car's window, All Eyez on Me is a phenomenon that packs a wallop with every listen. Unquestionably the most nihilistic album to top the Billboard charts--and it's doubtful that any will match it--Eyez also manages to dish out the good-times dance tunes and still flow seamlessly. Recording commenced within hours of Tupac Shakur's release from prison, and a year's worth of pent-up ideas are unleashed with a fury akin to lifting the lid on a box of plutonium. The line between high art and insufferable reality, possibilities and self-destruction, has never been so blurred. Eyez is a landmark achievement that is unlikely to be topped by any heir apparent to the hip-hop crown. --Gregg Turkington
Customer Reviews for 'All Eyez on Me'
THE ULTIMATE 2PAC MASTERPIECE!!!
THIS is gonna be short and to the point,I have this blazing album from it's release, and it is still new to me!!. A double disc set consisting of great rhythms and 2PAC at his most expressive ever!!. He was at his very best here. With no fillers,you just put it in your disc player and prepare yourself for an epic!!, highly recomended,it surely won't dissapoint. THIS IS PERHAPS THE ONLY GANGSTA RAP ALBUM YOU WILL EVER NEED!!!.
"When I die I want to be a living legend"
Indeed he got his wish, though technically he was ALREADY a legend once this double cd opus hit store shelves. Rap would never be the same again after Pac shook the world with this classic double cd.
This is one of those groundbreaking albums that really changed the game up. Pac had released the classic and critically acclaimed "Me Against the World" the previous year, but it was this album which truly turned him into a hip hop icon. Almost every mainstream rapper today uses this as a blueprint to make their own records, but none have been able to match it yet. Pac covered essentially all angles here: Hardcore street songs, club anthems, classic posse cuts/duets, introspective songs, sad songs and socially charged/political songs. Although I dont consider it his BEST album (that title goes to Me Against the World), it is his most influential and certainly his most well known.
The first disc starts off with the very dark and brazen "Ambitionz Az a Ridah", which has to feature one of the sickest beats ever laid to wax. Its easy to tell from the get go that this was almost a completely different man then the one who did Me Against the World. Hes out of jail now and hes back with a vengeance. But after that first song, it goes to another important theme on the album with All About U, a song about groupies which features a beat totally made for the clubs. Also featured on the first disc is the classic track with Snoop, "2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted", the club anthem How Do U Want It, and of course CA's anthem, the infamous California Love with Dr. Dre. However these hits just scratch the surface of why this album is so great. You also get the extremely reflective and knowledge of self "Only God Can Judge Me", as well "Life Goes On" which is a beautiful and very sad ballad, probably one of the saddest songs you will ever hear and one of Pac's greatest tracks overall. The second disc isnt quite as strong as the first but it still holds its own...you have the Dr. Dre produced "Cant C Me", the cautionary "Shorty's Gonna Be a Thug", and my personal favorite on the second disc, "Holla At Me". This beat is just bonkers and Pac tears the song up with a relentless fury. The self titled song, Thug Passion, Picture me Rollin, and Aint Hard 2 Find are all dope too. There a few filler cuts as is the case on all double albums, but minus maybe 3-4 songs this is heat all the way through.
Like most of Pac's albums, this album is a classic and timeless. Along with Me Against the World and Makaveli the 7 Day Theory, this ranks as one of his best. Still sounds as fresh now as it did in '96. What made this album so great, besides its versatility was that it really showed Pac was continuing to grow as an artist. Its an album so opposite of what Me Against the World was, but thats probably why both albums are still so loved to this day, cause they are stark contrasts of one another but both are outstanding for different reasons. Me Against the World was pretty much his autobiography, All Eyez on Me was his celebration of life in the fast lane as a mega star. So many rappers (DMX, 50, Eminem, etc) tried to use the formula that Pac perfected with this album, but no one has come close. A hip hop classic that needs to be in every rap fans collection. If you dont own it, you're buggin.
Great Album By The Greatest Man In Hip Hop!
All Eyez On Me is a classic album by the late Tupac Amaru Shakur, even though there are 2 tracks that i really didnt like that much (California Love Remix & Whatz Ya Phone #) i think this is an album that every Hip Hop fan should have. It's very sad how kid's nowadays get "inspired" by artist like Lil Wayne,Kanye West or Drake, and even compare them to the late 2Pac and to other Legends of Hip Hop. It's incredible how Pac could make 3 powerfull classic in a row (Me Against The World,All Eyez On Me & The Don Killuminati The 7 Day Theory).
thankz 4 the good music you left to us.
R.I.P. Makaveli The Don
