But is it a flawless album and artistically deserving of classic status?ДЄll Eyez On Me probably isВ 2PacвЂs most popular album, released when he was at the peak of his fame (while alive). Of course, because of the number of units sold and its iconic status, All Eyez On Me is a classic. Many people see this album as 2PacвЂ™s magnum opus and one of the best, if not THE best, Hip Hop album ever. The beautiful ode to women вЂњKeep Ya Head UpвЂќ, the emotional song about an absent father вЂњPapaвЂ™z SongвЂќ and cuts like вЂњHoller If Ya Hear MeвЂќ, вЂњSouljahвЂ™s RevengeвЂќ, вЂњI Get AroundвЂќ (with Digital Underground), вЂњLast WordzвЂќ (with Ice Cube and Ice-T) are just a few of the highlights, cuts that were instrumental in setting 2Pac on his path to the versatile, emotional, and charismatic legend he would become. Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z.В has a raw, sometimes a bit unpolished, underground feel to it and is less consistent production-wise as his following albums would be вЂ“ but it is an important album anyway, if only because it showed the world an icon in the making. Like was the case with 2Pacalyps Now, on his sophomore album Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z.В 2Pac still hasnвЂ™t found his style yet вЂ“ but 2PacвЂ™s raw talent and powerful charisma are even more evident here than on his debut, which makes this album the perfect stepping stone to his real break-out album Me Against The World. LetвЂ™s get into it вЂ“ and remember: if you disagree, donвЂ™t get mad, just share your opinion in the comments! Therefore, I do not consider them вЂrealвЂ™ 2Pac albums and will not consider them for this list. Good or bad, the posthumous albums obviously were all released without 2PacвЂ™s knowledge or consent, so we can not know if he would have approved of all that material being sold (in most cases most likely not). R U Still Down? was a pretty good album, but most of the rest of 2PacвЂ™s posthumously released work should have stayed on the cutting floor where 2Pac left it. Not considered for this ranking are his Thug Life group album, nor all the posthumous releases. That being said, I think one of 2PacвЂ™s albums comes very close, as you will see. There are few вЂ“ if any вЂ“ Hip Hop artists who can boast as many classic songs as 2Pac can, but his albums: is there a truly flawless classic among them? I think not, not like NasвЂ™ Illmatic, Public EnemyвЂ™s Nation Of Millions, or TribeвЂ™s Low End Theory. But the pavlovian reaction that 2Pac is the absolute GOAT emcee no matter what is just too easy. When it comes to substance and the power of voice and emotion he DOES rank up there with the best of them. He was never the best emcee by most criteria вЂ“ he wasnвЂ™t the most technical rapper, not the most creative when it comes to rhymes schemes, multiple syllabic rhyming, or the use of creative metaphors & similes.

He was big before his death but became iconic because of when and how he died. I always felt 2PacвЂ™s greatness has mostly to do with him as a person вЂ“ his powerful charisma, his message, and how he was able to relate that message and his emotion. My contention is that these people are usually just casual Hip Hop listeners (nothing wrong with that, by the way!), and simply do not know enough other rappers and Hip Hop albums to be able to really make an informed judgmentВ as to which rapper or what album deserves GOAT status. IвЂ™ve got nothing but love and respect for 2Pac and his music, but it irks me to no end that when GOAT rappers or Hip Hop albums are discussed, there are so many people who will automatically say: вЂњ2PacвЂќ and вЂњ2PacвЂ™s albumsвЂќ.

2Pac idolizing has taken on almost religious forms with many Hip Hop fans. Just donвЂ™t be angry вЂ“ know your opinion counts just as much as mine does.ДЄ lot of people get their panties in a bunch if they hear any criticism on 2Pac, or when the perceived flawlessness of his albums is questioned in the slightest way. Well, five 2Pac albums can not all be number one, so some of you will be disappointed. ThereвЂ™s always a lot of emotion and angriness when thereвЂ™s a ranking of something and 2Pac is involved вЂ“ so many people always want him on the #1 spot, whatever the criterium. Remember this is just a personal opinion, based on my own preferences and ideas. Ranking 2PacвЂ™s Albums: for this list, I will be ranking 2PacвЂs five solo albums, the five albums that were completed during his lifetime.
