hiphopheads Essential Album of the Week #106: 2Pac - All Eyez On Me

Posted: 03 Apr 2019 07:09 AM PDT

Welcome to the new and improved Essential Album of the Week discussion thread!

Every Wednesday we will discuss an album from our Essential Albums list

Last Time: B.G. - Chopper City

This Week: 2Pac - All Eyez On Me

Stream/Purchase

Background/Description (courtesy of allmusic.com)

Maybe it was his time in prison, or maybe it was simply his signing with Suge Knight's Death Row label. Whatever the case, 2Pac re-emerged hardened and hungry with All Eyez on Me, the first double-disc album of original material in hip-hop history. With all the controversy surrounding him, 2Pac seemingly wanted to throw down a monumental epic whose sheer scope would make it an achievement of itself. But more than that, it's also an unabashed embrace of the gangsta lifestyle, backing off the sober self-recognition of Me Against the World. Sure, there are a few reflective numbers and dead-homiez tributes, but they're much more romanticized this time around. All Eyez on Me is 2Pac the thug icon in all his brazen excess, throwing off all self-control and letting it all hang out -- even if some of it would have been better kept to himself. In that sense, it's an accurate depiction of what made him such a volatile and compelling personality, despite some undeniable filler. On the plus side, this is easily the best production he's ever had on record, handled mostly by Johnny J (notably on the smash "How Do U Want It") and Dat Nigga Daz; Dr. Dre also contributes another surefire single in "California Love" (which, unfortunately, is present only as a remix, not the original hit version). Both hits are on the front-loaded first disc, which would be a gangsta classic in itself; other highlights include the anthemic Snoop Dogg duet "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted," "All About U" (with the required Nate Dogg-sung hook), and "I Ain't Mad at Cha," a tribute to old friends who've gotten off the streets. Despite some good moments, the second disc is slowed by filler and countless guest appearances, plus a few too many thug-lovin' divas crooning their loyalty. Erratic though it may be, All Eyez on Me is nonetheless carried off with the assurance of a legend in his own time, and it stands as 2Pac's magnum opus.

Guidelines

This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is your chance to practice being a critic. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!!

How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE!!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged.

Next week's EAOTW will be Fugees - The Score

Best books about hip hop?

Posted: 05 Apr 2019 09:24 PM PDT

Really loved Gucci Mane's autobiography, looking for another incredible book about hip-hop. Ideally something more recent (post-2000s), any suggestions?

[DISCUSSION] Flatbush Zombies - Vacation in Hell (1 Year Later)

Posted: 05 Apr 2019 05:23 PM PDT

It's been one year since the release of the Flatbush Zombies 4th project and 2nd studio album. Favourite tracks? Overall thoughts on the album? How does it compare to their previous projects? What are you looking forward to hearing from the Zombies next?

Personally, ViH was one of my most anticipated releases in 2018 and it didn't disappoint. It was my AOTY and comfortably my most played album of 2018. Amazing features and production, and some incredible tracks in Headstone, HELL-O, U&I and Big Shrimp. Upon release, some criticised the album for being too long (19 tracks). I'd agree that it was slightly too long, but there was still 13 or 14 really great tracks that I kept in consistent rotation. Other favourite tracks for me are Best American, Vacation, Chunky, Crown, Facts, M.Bison and Facts. Looking forward to the imminent Beast Coast project.
