The greatest album ever, February 21, 2002
I know its a far out claim to call it the greatest album ever, but thats how I feel for a few reasons, any one of which alone would make this an amazing album. Firstly, the production is the best Ive heard on any album - rap or not. The beats are raw when needed (Life of an Outlaw), and yet can be touching (Hold ya head is a good example, and one of my favourite tracks ever). To qualify the production, it'd be safe to say its better than anything DJ Premier's ever done and Dre has never come close to tracks like Bomb First and Against All Odds. Asides from the melody of the beats, this album was produced very - read VERY - thoroughly. I didn't know that there was a remastered version out, but now that I do, you can bet Im buying that too, if only for the slightly improved sound quality. Each track fades into the next as if the whole album was done live, with sound effects (like the car starting on against all odds) that make you think you're there with Tupac, just before he was shot. Lyrically, this is Pac at his best too. He goes all sentimental when the soft strings on Hold Ya Head require it, but also shows his venomous side when the memories of beating shot and slightly-out-of-key piano loops on Bomb First get him vexed. Aside from the stunning beats and lyrics, the 7 Day Theory also offers something unique in a sea of mediocre rap albums: it was made just before Tupac was shot dead in Vegas in September of 1996. It was also released less than two months later amidst conspiracy theories and speculation that he was alive, hiding somewhere. Then the autopsy photos came, and as time passed it became more and more obvious that the greatest of all time wasn't coming back. Five years on from his death, it still hasn't been touched. Trust me. You need this. Now.

Best CD Ever!, February 6, 2006
In my opinion, this is the best hip hop/rap cd ever released. It's better than Paid In Full, Ready To Die, or Illmatic. Sure, those albums are all considered classics but this album is still better. It has so much truth and heart, how could it not be the best? Any rapper can use multisyllabe flows, or paint vivid descriptions, but few could speak from the heart like 2pac could. This album shows people that 2pac wasn't just the weary remorseful rapper on Me Against The World nor was he completely the thug rapper on All Eyez On Me. This a great example of the duality of man and how we all feel different feelings. Few rappers could so easily describe feeling sad to angry to in love to suicidal like 2pac could. This is what makes this album better than all other hip hop/rap albums released.

Best Rap Cd Ever!!!???, November 21, 2003
By A Customer
When someone asks you what is the best Rap CD ever you prolly say the the newest CD that you got or downloaded. But think deeper and if your the true Rap fan then you know The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory is prolly the top rap CD of all time. All eyez on me is 2pac's 2nd best CD but you could put it in front because it is a double disc. All the songs on here and really deep and show the best side of tupac ever. Hail Mary is a classic as is bomb first. This is a rare Cd where you can listen to every song and not skip songs. All in all this is a great CD. This is a true piece of history, but the question is still up, is this the best rap CD of all time, Nas's Illmatic is a sicc CD, but there is a CD not a lot of people know about and that is, Brotha Lynch Hung Season Of Da Siccness which is a tie with tupacs 7 day theory CD. Check out the Season of da Siccness and you will be blown away, in my oppinion BLH is the best rapper out period, he is underground, but get his CD off amazon right now, what are you waiting for go and get it
