    You have got to hear “Hit ‘Em Up”. Especially with the talk of a ‘musical mercenary’ in the first track on this album. Hit ‘Em Up is the regarded by many as the greatest diss track of all time. A real burial and essentially a declaration of war between Tupac and many East Coast rappers.

      ⁠@@AgentLemmon The way Pac planned and strategized Hit ‘Em Up alone makes it a better diss song then Ether and No Vaseline and makes it one of the best diss songs. (Against All Odds is the best diss song in my opinion)
      He planned to record hit ‘em up whe he was in jail. When he got out he hooks up with Faith Evans and told her he was recording the song which contains the sample from Don’t Look Any Further. Faith feeds all the information to Biggie.
      Pac was recording the first version of Hit ‘em Up and waited to see if his album All Eyez On Me sold more then Biggie’s before Pac releases the song toward biggie.
      Biggies album Ready to Die sold over 2 million at that time and biggie drops the “Get Money remix” with some shots at Pac and the same sample Pac uses for Hit ‘em Up and what he told Faith.
      Than Pac released the album All Eyez On Me and within 2 months it sold 5 million and crushed Biggies sells.
      Now he’s ready to drop Hit ‘Em Up. But before he drops it he wanted it to be harder and re-recorded the song with a flip of Biggies “Get Money” to “Take Money”.
      Pac wants to release the track to a huge audience so everybody can hear it and includes it as a B side on the single “How Do You Want It”. The song debuted at number 1, so everybody that’s bought the single hears it. Within 2 months the single sold 2 million copies.
      Well the rest is history…

    Heartz Of Men is my favorite song off of this album. A lot of people often write Tupac off as a lyricist, (I do this occasionally as well), but every verse on that song is a lyrical onslaught over a bouncy DJ Quik beat. Pac should’ve done a whole project with Quik because that track was ridiculous.

    The magic of Tupacs voice is along with being naturally powerful, he always and consistently overdubbed his verses. Not just ad-libbing, which he hardly did, but the verses in their entirety. Pay attention and you can hear it. It sounds like 2 of him are rapping at the same time. Not very many rappers do it that way because if your voice isn’t good for it, it won’t sound good. Your tonal quality has to be just right to pull it off. I really enjoy watching your reactions. You give and open minded, honest perspective from someone who doesn’t typically listen to hip hop. You rock brother!

    One thing I don't like about the official release of this album is that they left out the original "California Love" and "Hit Em Up". Instead, they gave them both to us on single releases to sell more singles.
    Also, 'Pac described this album (which was recorded in two weeks) as being intentionally less deep and introspective than his prior and future releases as his intent was to make a commercial, celebratory album, as well as use it as an outlet to vent. The last album that he completed before his passing is titled "Makaveli the Don - Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory", which he recorded and had mixed for release in seven days.

    I’ve been following Pac since 95, and All Eyez on Me is one of my all time favorite albums. But that verse from Napoleon tho… I never knew, and I got the same look on my face as you did when you explained the meaning behind his verse. Damn. Just… damn.

    One aspect I've grown to appreciate about this classic is that coming from a musical household stocked full of vinyls, you can catch some clever samples and they become better over time with the sheer amount of rap artists who followed that pretty much flipped the same sample due to Pac's influence. Pac is like that undeniable bridge to generations. Really, like a spark to cause change even after leaving Earth - but his spirit lives within countless other's artistry.
    Shorty Wanna Be A Thug ➡️ Drive Slow (ye)
    Ratha Be Ya N!gg@ ➡️ B.!.T.C.H (Megan)
    All Eyez On Me➡️ All Eyes On You (Meek Mill)
    All Bout U ➡️ Wouldn't Get Far (The Game), West Coast Weekend (Tyga), lol that one scene in _Scary Movie_ ...
    Life Goes On➡️ Home for the Holidays (J.Cole)
    Thug Passion➡️ I No Longer Fear the Razor... ($uicideboy$; vocal chop/pitch)
    Run Tha Streetz➡️ Subenstein (Big K.R.I.T; melody interpolation)
    No More Pain➡️Right Now (Future)
    California Love➡️ too many, and that one Rusko song the Golden State Warriors play every 10 mins every game.
    Ambitionz Az A Ridah has been flipped by a surplus of modern rappers/producers it's pretty much a necessary flow/beat now. Though not on AEOM, I am quite fond of J.Cole's use of *Pain* on *See World* and K.R.I.T.'s use of *Changes* on *The Vent* .
    *All Eyez On Me x Bittersweet Symphony* is an interesting listen too.

    Just finished the entire upload, and I must say it was good. I related to pac in my early teens in the late 90s living in Cali, and everything he raps about I've seen, many of us have , in one form or another. When he calls a girl a "bitch", we know exactly what he means. "A loaded 357 with hollow points to a nigga belly". what he's describing was the norm and probably still is in some places. I know the lyrics of all his music, and I just play the instrumentals now that I have kids and live in the burbs. Lol. Fair assessment for someone listening to an album made almost 30 yrs ago about street life in the 90s. Keep up the good work.

    It was later released on the 2Pac Greatest hits album. It was however on the UK version of All Eyes on Me.

You might benefit from doing listening to these albums with someone who already knows them inside out to help explain some of the subtle points that are being missed. There is a lot of context that needs to be brought to light. There are answers to a lot of the questions that you ask. There are key points about what was transpiring at the time that explains what these songs are really about.

He gets credited with producing the remix but I believe it was produced by a duo from the Bay Area or something.

    No More Pain uses a Method Man chorus from I Came to Bring the Pain. I love this song its so HARD.
    You edited out my favorite bars on Heartz of Men, "my lyrical verse with so much pain to some [people] it hurts my guns bust if you aint one of us it gets worse"
    Not sure when I realized the remix and original California Love were different. Not sure which I like more.
    I used to hate Whats Ya Phone #, took me to get older to appreciate it. Its a grow on you type track. I love it now.
    Holla At Me is so fire. 3rd verse he just goes hard.
    Agree about Wonder Why They Call You... I think he did a decent job though of not characterizing all women like that
    Thug Passion... the 2nd disc is more vibes than the 1st disc which had all the big singles. I think CA and specifically Bar Area people preferred disc 2.
    Rather Be Your.... I love Pac and Richie Rich collabs. They had a song on Me Against the World "Heavy In the Game" and on his posthumous album R U Still Down.
    No need to break down lyrics with Pac, it's pretty straight forward.
    The end of the track shit talk on the entire album is epic.
    You gotta hear about the E40 situation with Biggie.
