The gruesome details surrounding Tupac's third solo offering are enough to give any music fan the willies. Released when Tupac was in jail serving time for a rape conviction and just after his recovery from being shot-up gangland-style at a recording studio, this was his most introspective piece of work to date. The heavy-hearted album opens up with a radio commentary describing the circumstances surrounding his shooting, and then plunges headfirst into Pac's infatuation with death. "So Many Tears," "Death Around the Corner," and "If I Die 2Nite" are all dark, eerily prophetic tunes that lend credence to widespread theories which suggest that Pac anticipated his impending death. The perpetually thugged-out wonder reveals a more benevolent side when it comes to gender and family issues. On "Dear Mama"--a fitting tribute to his mother recorded in the "Keep Ya Head Up" vein--Pac takes listeners into the loving recesses of his heart, while on "Can U Get Away," he echoes similar respectful sentiments to black womynkind. This is probably Pac's most progressive issues-oriented release before he signed to Death Row and became a full-blown thug. --Dalton Higgins

Summary: My First True Exposure To 2PAC
Comment: Admittedly, I was never a huge fan of his but this album made me respect the talent that this tragic figure had. What turned me onto this album was "Dear Mama." Having been raised by a single mom after she and my dad divorced, I could feel some of the emotions that 2PAC was relaying in this rap tune. Even my own mom liked this and she HATES rap!
Other songs that I liked were the title track, "So Many Tears" and "Young N***az." Overall, the whole album is a classic! Would highly recommend this album!

Summary: Tupac's Message Lives On
Comment: This was the first Tupac merchandise I bought. The lyrics to his songs speak about societal problems and enlightens us to the challenges and difficulties inherent in societal structures which ensures that some parts of the population remains enslaved to poverty despite efforts on their part to break free from its devastating effects. Tupac's work reminds us that we are all responsible for the world we create and is an inspiration that through our own efforts, however small, we can have a positive impact on the world in which we live.
