Author's Review
(I wanted to update this review because I feel that I could have written it better, and I feel that 2Pac and his work is the best ever conceived.)
Although Tupac Shakur is no longer walking on this earth, his music continues to inspire and enrich people's lives. For example, his album "All Eyez On Me" describes what truly what kind of man he truly was. He was a strong man full of passion and life, and he didn't let anyone stop him.
Now, back when I was a junior in high school, "All Eyez In Me" was released. Now, I wasn't really a big 2Pac fan back then, until I decided to just buy the album (even though I didn't buy music that often back then). And man, I was not expecting this album to be sooooooo good.
After being released from prison in New York and being signed to a record contract at Death Row Records, 2Pac wrote each song for "All Eyez On Me." I feel that each song was THE best work he had ever done. Each track evoked a sense of intensity and power I never heard in a rap album in a long time. Each song possesses its own message and meaning. Here are the names of each song of "All Eyez On Me."

13. Heaven Ain't Hard 2 Find
The song "California Love" shows his love of the west coast (of course California in particular).
The song "I Ain't Mad at Cha" foreshadows his possible death, and how he praised the ones he left behind in life.
The song "Life Goes On" pays respect to lost friends, and how to move on with your life.
Well, you see what I mean. Every song has its own meaning, which ties the message of the album together.
Anyway, if any of you out there don't agree with my review, it's all good. Anyone can translate 2Pac's music in other ways as well. All I know is this: 2Pac was not just a rapper. he was an amazing poet, and had such talent for words. If you like rap, buy this. If you don't own this album, get off your butt and buy it. If you don't even like rap, borrow this album and check it out. You won't be disappointed.
