Lyrics: 5.0/5.0

Beats: 4.50/5.0


BACKGROUND

The final chapter in 2pac's career, this album was released just a few weeks after his unfortunate death... It's kind of funny, at first this was least favorite out of his catalogue but with time it grew to become my favorite. The production might be a little hard to digest at first, but the dark beats are a perfect match for 2pac's paranoiac introspective tracks... While All Eyes on Me was more of a party album with all types of songs and guests, this one is really more about 2pac's anger and in my opinion it features the best rapping of his career. The only song that doesn't really fit on the album is "Toss It Up" which is more about the ladies, but again 2pac goes off topic at the end and tosses a few disses... There are many album highlights, fans might go for "Hail Mary" or "Me and My Girlfriend" but my favorite is "Blasphemy" where he simply goes off on life and religion. The reason why this is to me the best Pac album is that it's the most Pac of his albums, it's like the culmination of all his life was assembled here, everything he stood for is expressed perfectly here. Quite an essential piece of the 2pac collection, just give it time to learn the lyrics and really get into the song... It's a little too deep for instant enjoyment but really worth the investment.



1- Bomb first (my second reply)


4/5

This track is (in my opinion) Pac's best diss. Most likely because he uses the most punchlines and Young Noble and E.D.I have good verses.



2- Hail Mary


5/5

This is a hood classic; deep lyrics and amazing beat. 2pac definetly had a vision on this one. The Outlawz minus Fatal all drop classic verses. My favorite Outlaw verse has to be Young Noble's: " Brain kinda cloudy, smoked out feeling rowdy". etc.



3- Toss It Up- Kc&Jojo


4/5

KC and JoJo reunite with Pac on this dance/diss track. I feel it is a pretty good track however I also feel it destroys the mood of the album because indeed this is a very dark album. Furthermore, It doesn't feel like the track was completely done to me. Probably my lest Favorite song.

4- To live & Die in L.A

4.5/5

This a great mellow single by Pac. He talks about LA and all the things he enjoys there.

5- Blasphemy

5/5

The review of this track is not blasphemy Wink. Well, the track starts off with a rather unusual and dark intro and soon goes in to the "I remember what my pops told me" and Prince Ital Joe in the background. This is my favorite track on the album. It talks about the fundamentals of being a thug or a moneymaker. check this track



6- Life of an Outlaw


4/5

This is generally a war cry of 2pac and the lawz. It's a pretty fun track however the lawz don't have very good verses except Napoleon.

7- just like daddy

5/5

just like daddy is a track for the ladies it is so calming and probably one of the best outlaw joints they all drop good verses and as always 2pac comes strong.



8- krazy


4/5

This is a very good track featuring Badazz. It talks generally about the struggles of his life and Badazz comes strong.



9- white man'z world


3/5

This is a great inspirational track I end up listening to to this track.



10- me and my girlfriend



4/5

This is the track where 2pac talks to his gun and its a real dark and fun track. Check it



11- hold ya head


this is another inspirational track kind of like keep ya head up style. I believe val young sings here and she comes strong and adds melody to this track.

12- Against all odds

5/5

The album finishes off with a diss track. It's very good he talks angrily and as he said in the chorus it's the realist nuts he ever wrote.

TOP 5



1)Hail Mary

2)Toss It Up

3)Against All Odds

4)Life As An Outlaw

5)Blasphemy.

The Game recorded tracks based on his life experiences from his childhood to his success as a rapper. When asked about the album, he stated:

I grew up in a boys home and I was taken away from my parents when I was like 8 years old... Here I am, 24. When my album drops I will be 25 so that's 17 years I have been going through my struggle by myself. There are 17 tracks on my album and every track sheds light on a different situation I went through the last 17 years.

The rapper commented on the album's perception before its release, saying, "I know everybody was expecting gang-bang, 40-ounce, low-rider music, but that's not what I gave them... I'm telling a real story, and maybe there are people out there who can relate to my experiences."Rolling Stone observed that "every song has a well-massaged hook and some immediate appeal, and verses that don't waste a lot of time getting to the point."

1. Intro: Great way to build up momentum to Westside Story

2. Westside Story: A dramatic beat combines with Game's story about his rise to the top. 50 Cent delivers a good chorus, and Game really shines in his verses. Hard to believe this guy just learned to rap. A classic, trademark Aftermath album opener. (5/5)

3. Dreams: Kanye West is one of rap's great producers, without a doubt. However, this is not his best work and some random background noises get annoying. Game also does not say enough to save the track as the lyrics are also subpar. (3/5)

4. Hate it or Love it: One of the best tracks on the album; an instant classic. Game and 50 Cent both deliver killer hooks. Awesome beat,catchy chorus, and even better lyrics. (5/5)

5. Higher: The best track on the album. Another classic to document the rise of the west. Great beat, great lyrics. Good track to represent the second wind of gangsta rap. (5/5)

6. How We Do: The Game's first single, a classic with the likes of

Indaclub. Easily the catchiest track on the album. (5/5)

7. Don't Need Your Love: Slows down the fast-paced starting tempo of the album but the results are the same. The lyrics are sharp and the beat decent. (4/5)

8. Church for Thugs: The beat is just sick, the flow incredible, and the words even iller. (5/5)

9. Put You on the Game: A catchy headbanger produced by Timbaland. Not the best track on the album, but a good track nonetheless. (4.5/5)

10. Start From Scratch: Beat has a certain feeling to it with a good chorus from Marsha of Floetry. Once again, Game delivers powerful lyrics to accompany a great beat. (5/5)

11. The Documentary: The pleasure just keeps coming with another one of the best tracks on its namesake album. Drops several disses between a sick, piercing beat with beyond sick lyrics. (5/5)

12. Runnin: Laid back Beat is average, with Yayo droppin in to help Game out. Game delivers good lyrics and provides for another good song. Nothing spectacular however, and one of the weaker tracks on the album. (3.5/5)

13. No More Fun and Games: Features NWA samples and upbeat production. Flow is good and the track is catchy. (4/5)

14. We Ain't: Dark track featuring the rap mastermind Eminem. Incredibly catchy and fun to listen to. Lyrics aren't Eminem's or Game's best, but it's still a sick track. (5/5)

15. Where I'm From: Nate Dogg is truly one of hip-hops best vocalists and shines on this track. Another classic. (5/5)

16. Special: Another track with Nate on the hook. (4/5)

17. Don't Worry: Good beat and good performance by Mary J. Blige. May be too slow for fans of hardcore, but otherwise, an excellent track (4/5)

18: Like Father Like Son: Game raps about his son with Busta Rhymes dropping in to deliver an enjoyable listening experience. Touching song. Classic with the likes of Mockingbird, though not quite as good. (5/5)

Lyrics: 4/5

Production: 5/5

Top 5: Where Im From, Special, Hate it or Love It, The Documentary, Dreams​
