CD Details
Synopsis
Amazon.com essential recordingSimultaneously serving as both endless fodder for intellectual debates and the album most likely to be blaring out of the adjacent car's window, All Eyez on Me is a phenomenon that packs a wallop with every listen. Unquestionably the most nihilistic album to top the Billboard charts--and it's doubtful that any will match it--Eyez also manages to dish out the good-times dance tunes and still flow seamlessly. Recording commenced within hours of Tupac Shakur's release from prison, and a year's worth of pent-up ideas are unleashed with a fury akin to lifting the lid on a box of plutonium. The line between high art and insufferable reality, possibilities and self-destruction, has never been so blurred. Eyez is a landmark achievement that is unlikely to be topped by any heir apparent to the hip-hop crown. --Gregg Turkington

Gangsta Rap At Its Absolute Pinnacle!!!!!!!!!!!! Jackson Braybrooks | 10/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is one of those albums wgere you don't even have to be a fan of rap to enjoy. This album is just goodness from begiining to end. Whenever I go for long drives I like to jam both discs in my five disc player and let it bang from the classic opening Ambitionz Az A Ridah to the classic ending Heaven Ain't Hard 2 Find. Though its certainly not without a few fillers such as What'z Ya Phone# but other than that, its amazing. Now the production is f****** great and all the beats are classic, then Pac spits some great lyrics though not as deep as in albums like Me Against The World but still great. As for the guest appearances, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, Method Man, Red Man, Dr Dre, Richie Rich, Michele and Danny Boy were f****** great, Big Syke and Rappin 4 Tay were good, the Outlawz were err so so, but it still remains a definite 5 star album.
