much more, November 29, 2005
if u dont know Pac, just buy his best album, All Eyez on Me. This DualDisc version much more than the original (or the simple remastered) version, cause it features very good quality songs and videos...

(Rating: 8 Out Of 10) Pac's First Double Disc, and His Last Album While Alive, September 4, 2006
Before I start my review, let me you know something. I'm not one of those people who prases Tupac like he's some kind of god or something. I understand he was highly talented and everything, but to me he was just another emcee, just like everyone else. Also I don't put him into comparison with people like Malcom X and Dr. Martin Luther King, because those people are in a whole another league than Tupac Shakur was. I know that sounds a little ignorant, because I don't believe whatever you want me to believe in, but that is how I see him, a highly talented emcee, and thats it. For you people who can't accept the fact on the comment I just made and cannot accept my rating, just click the "No" button at the bottom and save yourself some time.
*You can take the previous statement however you want*
Anyway here is my review:
Pac was a big name back in 1996. Everybody knew who he was, and what he was all about. Around that time, he was also facing some huge problems, aside from the beef with Notorious BIG. When he got into the studio, recorded and released "All Eyez On Me" that became a huge multi-platnum selling album. I didn't get a chance to hear this until about 5 years ago, and hearing this album was so refreshing to my ears.
Disc One was more of the commercial side of Pac. Most of his songs were shooting for mainstream status, with well success. The biggest Pac hit he had was "California Love" with Dr. Dre. (still sampling Roger Toutman) Now the album has the remix with a more relaxed west coast style beat, than the one many people are familiar with (even though there was a video for both songs). Aside from that, one of my favorite joints is "How Do You Want It" with Jodeci. The disc will also contain most of his other hit songs from the album: "It's All About U", "I Ain't Mad At Cha" (a different version with the same beat is on the video), and "2 Of Amerika's Most Wanted". Some of the guests would shine on here also. The Dogg Pound and Redman and Method Man would join in for the song "I Got My Mind Made Up". Speaking of Method Man, parts of his song "Bring The Pain" would be the hook for Pac's song "Bring The Pain" with more of a gangstafied feel.
Disc Two had a little gangstafied style to the album. A highlight would be the song "Wonder Why They Call U B***h" dedicated to many women who go around hanging out with guys for sexual activities. It feels like Pac switched styles when he hit the second disc on this album, because this mood is more different than the first disc. Another song that I like is "Check Out Time", as well as the gangsta love type track "Run The Streets". Production is pretty straight. Guest appearances are okay on this disc. Kurupt and everyone who appears on "It Ain't Hard 2 Find" with E-40 and more are pretty dope. Some of the no names on this album like Big Syke aren't as good (listen to "All Eyez On Me" title track for instance). Other than that, it's okay.
So this is very unfortunate. Pac wasn't around long enough to see his album sell 9+ million copies. I enjoyed both discs, and I'll pop em in every once in a while when I want to hear some rhymes with a gangsta feel behind it. I'm pretty sure every Pac fan has snatched this up. If you don't have this, I recommend that you get it also. Also check out "Me Against The World", because I like that one better than this one here.
Tupac Shakur...Rest In Peace...
