Review

2Pac's "All Eyez On Me," dropped on February 13, 1996, stands as a game-changer in hip-hop. With a sprawling 27-track lineup spread over two discs, this album hit a high point in his creative journey. Often hailed as one of his crowning achievements, it's overflowing with grit, passion, and reflections on what it meant to navigate life as a black man in America during the '90s.

Central to the album is 2Pac's brazen endorsement of the "Thug Lifestyle," which threads through tracks like "Can't C Me" and "All Eyez On Me." His raw, unfiltered lyrics examine his existence under the constant scrutiny of law enforcement, fans, and enemies alike. The tracks unfold stories that are as visually gripping as they are honest, capturing the essence of urban resilience.

On the production front, a line-up led by legends Johnny "J" and Daz Dillinger delivers an eclectic mix. Club hits like "How Do U Want It" featuring K-Ci & JoJo, and the anthem "California Love" with Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman stand in contrast to soul-bound cuts like "Life Goes On" and "Heaven Ain’t Hard to Find." Collaborations shine here too, especially explosive tracks like "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" with Snoop Dogg, adding layers of depth to the experience.

Upon release, "All Eyez On Me" exploded onto the scene, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and moving 566,000 copies in its first week. Critical reception was overwhelmingly positive; accolades came rolling in from places like *Spin* and *Entertainment Weekly*. It bagged the 1997 Soul Train Music Award for Rap Album of the Year and snagged a Grammy nomination.

Even amid clusters of critics who felt the double album could have been tighter, "All Eyez On Me" maintains its iconic stature. Recognized as one of Apple Music's best 100 albums ever and selling over ten million copies stateside, its legacy is a fortress of influence. 2Pac's profound blend of raw energy, social insights, and personal storytelling has set a high bar, marking him as an undying influence in the realm of hip-hop. - Noah
