Tupac Shakur-Where to start?

[AshBaldry]

Have always been into hip-hop/rap music,after getting into Jay Z and Biggie I've started getting into 2pac...So many remixes/New albums where's the best place to start? Really enjoying
Brendas Got A Baby
Picture Me Rollin
Hit Em Up

I don't smoke blunts/drive a BMW

Any help/ guidance welcomed

[Little Butch]

Life goes on
How long will they mourn me
Dear Mama
When I'm gone

That should get you started..

2pac has a frickin massive catalogue so its difficult to know wtf is going on

changes and california love are 2 popular ones tho

[DarrenL]

Start with his greatest hits, for a dead guy he sure does release alot of new albums...!

[AshBaldry]

Looks as if there are a lot of home made remixes on YouTube! Found a good song "Looking through my rear view" something along those lines,think it's a recent ish remix,like "Until the end of time"

[pevin]

2pac better dayz heavy album!

[Little Butch]

Brenda's got a baby Is such a moving song!
People might just take one listen to Tupac and dismiss Him as rubbish If they're not Into rap but His songs have deep meaning to them..

I'd start out with the albums he actually released on Death Row or pre Death Row.,as these are far superior to the junk that came out after his death...in order of preference.

All Eyez On Me
7 Day Theory
Strictly for my....

Then move onto R U Still Down..

I haven't bought or even downloaded any of his later albums. His bloody Mum has milked his estate for every penny.

[AshBaldry]

Just put in greatest hits disc 1 Keep Ya Head Up is a tune! Awesome sample!

[Miguel Alvarez]

Never been a fan to be fair but the two albums I don't mind are Strictly For My N##### and Me Against The World.

Try changes,
Its not everyones idea of tupac's best song but its really good,
Ghetto Gospel is quite recent and not to everyones taste but I think its really good,
Also +1 for life goes on and dear mama.

This.

7 day Theory and All Eyez are by far my faveourite two rap albums.

[AndyT77]

IMO fk the world was 2pacs best tune.

[Smokey2326]

Baby Don't Cry
Picture me rollin
fkin with the wrong Ni**a
only god can judge me
Shawty wanna be a thug
All eyez on me
Unconditional love
thug passion
Me and my girlfriend
Do for love
Sunny day (in california) Not sure if thats the title but type it into youtube and you'll get a result.

Here's a song he wrote back in '94

http://www.pp2g.tv/vZ3x7Zw__.aspx

"How am I doin this?!?!
Look around the club,
See everyone in the place
showin Pac love
and a smile on my face.
The girl in the mini-skirt has bad taste
cause that shirt don't match
and theres a puddin stain on the back...
What the fk is that?!
It might be dooo doooo!
And you in the back you ain't the st,
you bought a Gin and Tonic but you didn't even tip
and if you hit this table one more time
then the record might skip *record skips* might skip.
I told you...stop hittin the table."

"Tupac is ova. I wrote this crap in 1994.
IM NOT ALIVE!
THUG LIFE!
Dave Chappelle, that aint yo wife."
