This review is from: Thug Life: Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

Don't let the number of tracks on this album fool you. There's absolutely no filler here. The whole album is great from start to finish. My favorites are Bury Me a G, Pour Out a Little Liquor, and Str8 Ballin'. How Long Will They Mourn Me is also really good. This album has some of my favorite Tupac songs. Tupac is on eight of the ten songs, but the two he's not on, Don't Get It Twisted and Street Fame, are pretty good. Tupac raps solo in Pour Out a Little Liquor and Str8 Ballin'. This album is one reason why I love rap. The lyrics and beats are timeless. This is one of Pac's best albums even though it's been slepped on. The Thug Life crew is pretty good, with Mopreme being my favorite (if you don't count Pac). Songs like Bury Me a G and Str8 Ballin' remind me why Tupac is my favorite lyricist and MC. His Death Row period had a lot of good songs, but nothing can beat his work from 1994-95, with the mellow beats and lyrics from a stressed out Tupac. This is one of my all time favorite albums. I put it up there with Illmatic and The Infamous. Actually I like it better than those two. No current rap album even comes close to the beats on this album. The samples are so interesting and along with Pac's brilliant lyrics you will never get tired of this album. I like albums that have around 10-12 songs with no stupid skits and no filler. This is a prime example of that. Bury Me a G has one of the best choruses by Tupac ever. Str8 Ballin' has a beat that will be stuck in your head for days. Pour Out a Little Liquor will have you reminiscing about the old days. How Long Will They Mourn Me will have you captivated by Pac's lyrics and Nate Dogg's sorrowful chorus. Tupac spills his heart on here. Cop this CD now!

This is a great hard-core rap CD with a lot of phat songs on it. This is definitely a must buy for any Tupac fan! Rest In Peace Makaveli. Your music lives on...forever.
