Pros Lots of truly great songs, fairly comprehensive

Cons Missing some key tracks, contains some unnecessary tracks

Recommended it? Yes

I was class of '95 in Northern California. Throughout my high school days, two musical artists were heard everywhere: Nirvana and 2Pac. White or black, the hood or the 'burbs, you would hear this. You may not have like it, but the sound permeated the surroundings.

By far Northern... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

Note: For my convenience and others, this review might contain some portions of other reviews from my 2Pac series.

Weighing his strengths and weaknesses as a rapper, I am not quite ready to bestow the "G.O.A.T." title upon 2Pac as so many have, and I doubt I ever will. However, I will... Read full review »

Pros Excellent production. Thoughtful lyricism. Brilliant emceeing. Classic Pac.

Cons A couple of weak tracks. Depends if you like Tupac or not.

Recommended it? Yes

(NOTE: Due to this being a double CD: This is very, VERY LONG review. So you may wish to have a breather half way through. I did try posting CD two as a separate review to make it easier on the eyes, but I CAN'T DO IT:( So I'm afraid this is the best I can do I'm afraid, happy reading!)

As I came home today, I needed some emotional music. I was in really bad mood because 12th grade students finished with their educational years in my school. They are now grown men and women, there are some really special students and I dedicate this review to them. Generation 2002/2003-2006/2007,... Read full review »

Pros All fo his best songs in one package.

Cons The sad reason behind why this disc was made.

Recommended it? Yes

2Pac's greatest hits is a two disc collection of 25 of his greatest songs. There are his funky hits that you hear in the club and then there are his serious, memorable story telling songs.
2Pac is not a Puff Daddy. All of the beats you'll hear are his own. Most of his songs leave you with a... Read full review »

Pros Great set of very solid songs. The 2Pac album.

Cons Left out a few noteworthy tracks such as All Eyez on Me

Recommended it? Yes

This two disc set is probably the strongest collection of rap hits put together by any one artist that I have ever heard. Finding twenty five songs on an album that are all good is RARE! I'm not normally a big fan of Pac, but this album is really the cream of his work over the years.

Pros True Emotions, Political and social radicalism, moments of morality and chivalry

Cons misogyny and disses of other rappers, cliched moments and very depressing.

Recommended it? Yes

After Ice-T and N.W.A. had gained popularity in the late 80's, the way was paved for other members of the underground West Coast Hip-Hop community to break through with record deals. One of which was Tupac Shakur. A rapper with a poetic style to describing his underpriviledged upbringing in a... Read full review »

Tupac Amaru Shakur. When you hear the name, you think of the legend, the legacy, and the talent of the man. Greatest Hits. From the CD, you think of accomplishments of Tupac, not only during his career, but of the success story of his life itself. In a way, the poetry of his music weaves the story... Read full review »
