2pac is at his best on this album. The album doesn’t have a
lot of what Pac is famous for, but that doesn’t stop it from being a great and
smooth listen. The songs are really catchy. Many of the songs are really
thoughtful like Dear Mama….that song is a classic. Overall this is a must have
for any rap fan, or someone who hasn’t heard Pac yet. This is a different Pac
than his later efforts.
I give this album a 10/10
This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
