All Eyez on 2Pac, Always and Forever

2Pac had all eyez on him them and even though he is no longer here, his inspiration and style is still well known. This 1996 album mixes a lot of emotions and beats and puts it all on two very well made CDs. The 1st CD of the set features songs such as "How Do You Want It", which features the R&B group, Jodeci. "How Do You Want It" has the coolness of Tupac along with the smoothness of Jodeci. "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" also features the well-known artist, Snoop Doggy Dogg.

The "doggy style" of Snoop combines with Tupac's style to give you "nothin' but a gangsta party". "Only God Can Judge Me" and "I Ain't Mad at Cha" are two of Tupac's more emotional songs on the album. Songs like this are one of the reasons that 2Pac is one of my favorite rappers. He not only gives you beats to dance to, but also songs that make you think. These songs make you look inside yourself as well as him and get to know who 2Pac is a lot better then you ever thought you did.

"I Ain't Mad at Cha" is one of my favorites, which illustrates his own personal feelings and experiences. In the video, it is actually illustrated to be predicting his own death and looking down on his loved ones and the experiences he's had and just saying "i ain't mad at cha" for the decisions you made, etc. The next song, "Whatz Ya Phone #" is also one of my favorites. This is one of the funniest songs I know. In the song, he is having a conversation with a female that gets a little nasty...and his reactions and responses are the funniest thing.

I highly recommend listening to this song!! The second CD in the set is not my favorite, but I do like the songs "Shorty Wanna Be A Thug," "Holla At Me," which is a very meaningful song with more personal feelings of 2Pac but it also has a good, semi-fast beat. "Wonda Why They Call You B****" is also one of my favorites because I can very much relate to these feelings about gold-digging women. I also recommend the songs "When We Ride," and the title song "All Eyez On Me" which is the best song on this CD.

It has a fresh beat and it is also a song that allows you to look within 2Pac and understand the person he was. I think he made this the title song because it illustrates feelings that he strongly felt. I highly recommend this CD set! Be prepared for plenty of cursing, which is characteristic of 2Pac, but also plenty of good beats.
