Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0012414163424 Format: Explicit Lyrics Label: Jive Manufacturer: Jive MPN: 41634 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Jive Release Date: March 10, 1998 Studio: Jive Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The late Tupac Shakur's second album recalls the densely sampled sonic strengths of Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet, except here the bass lines are cranked and the sly samples tend to the gentler touches of Motown and Curtis Mayfield than James Brown. This contrast between hard and soft is appropriate because Shakur is as likely to sweetly honor black sisters ("Keep Ya Head Up") as he is to get angry in your face. Consequently, even with guest spots including the Ices Cube and T., 2Pac's strong raps remain this joint's real shining star. --David Cantwell Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pointless TrashMore total garbage from a drug dealing rapper who got himself killed spreading a vindictive message....wow. Like 99% of rappers he was all about the money and made it anyway he could even in his death.....pathetic. Rating:  - The most slept-on album 2Pac shouldn't have releasedThe reason I say 2Pac shouldn't have released this album is because I think if he knew how much it would have been passed over he wouldn't have let it out.

On the lyrical side Pac spits flames throughout the album. But for me it doesn't match up to other albums such as Me Against The World and of course All Eyez On Me. So it gets a 4 stars, meaning its well worth listening to. The album kicks off with the venomous "Holler If Ya Hear Me" Pac gives 3 verses of pure fire with a very hypeful beat. "Pac's Theme" is an interlude with Tupac responding to then vice president "Dan Qualye". "Point Tha Finga" is more ...

Rating: - The rebel of the underground returns (4 and 1/2 stars)After putting out a great first album that was politically charged, 2pacalypse Now was criticized by the dumbest vice president that we ever had. Tupac made his valient return with this album to settle the score. The album starts off with a great single called Holla If Ya Hear Me(also off of The Above The Rim soundtrack) where Pac drops some gems. He also drops jewels in the form of Point The Finga, Soulja's Revenge and the title track. Keep Your Head Up was one the most beautiful odes to black women ... Read More |
