2pac - Greatest Hits - 2Pac

Just over five years have passed since the legendary rapper, Tupac Shakur, died - following fatal gun shot wounds from a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada in September of 1996. In 1998 Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, and Death Row CEO, Suge Knight, pulled out of the recording studios Tupac's greatest hits from his era - including some previously unreleased material! They put these hits onto two CDs and released them on this album in late 1998 to commemorate Tupac's death. Upon purchasing this CD in November 2000, I had previously not heard any of Tupac's music - apart from changes – and within a week of purchasing the album and ...  Read the complete review

2Pac isn’t my favourite rapper. I don’t know why maybe it’s because he thinks he is better than everyone. I believe that it was his fault he ended up killed because he kept making the Eastside, Westside battle worse. He is however rated as the greatest rapper of all time and does have serious talent. This album was created after 2Pac’s death and sold many copies; deathrow records on behalf of Tupac’s family released it. 2Pac Greatest hits is exactly what is contained within the album. You can’t really go wrong when you buy a greatest hits album because all the songs are great. 2Pac’s greatest hits isn’t any ...  Read the complete review

There are so many rappers out there, so many voices that seem to create a mass sound with thier voices, and then there is 2pac. The best. 2pac has, throughout his entire career, blended R&B and rap almost seemlessly, he can be hard, and he can be out-spoken, but he always makes a good song. Truly, he is the grand master of rap, the greatest of them all, and will stay so for a long time, and when the greatest has a greatest hits album, it will be great. In fact, it's perfect. The range on this album is amazing, from such great lyrical and uplifting triumphs as "Keep Your Head Up" to possibly the most venomous show of pure rage ever recorded ...  Read the complete review

I have a few 2pac albums and im not too keen on him really, but recently after having brought the greatest hits with all his best tracks on, I really enjoyed listening too him. When I buy the 2pac albums usually there is only a couple of tracks I like off them. Im not really a big 2pac fan though. But the greatest hit album compared to the rest is great. It feature all the great tracks like Changes, California Love, 2 of amerikaz most wanted ft snoop and Troublesome 96 which is my personal favourite. I like this album because I long almost every track off it not just a few like off all the other 2pac albums. Iwuld recomend it to someone whose not a big ...  Read the complete review

Tupac Shakur's death came about for rapping for what he believed in, in my mind and millions of others worldlide no one will come close to matching Tupac's legacy. Tupacs verbal assualt on the prejudism of America and other rappers who screwed over pac eventually lead to the rapper being shot. Even when Tupac came to stardom he always remembered where he came from, a thing that is rare from todays fake rappers. Dre will forever rap about the ghetto, the strange thing being he was never in the ghetto and will never step foot in the ghetto. Every track on this double album has a personal or polictical meaning behind it. Tupac's stardom caused many ...  Read the complete review
