>These 2 albums came out before he came into his own >artistically, but both records have some great songs.
He was listening to Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Paris & a little Too Short then going straight to the studio to make knockoff versions of their shit. Should we really be giving him props for that?

12. "when I was younger Strictly... was my favorite Pac album" In response to Reply # 0
it was like 2-4 years probably from first actually listening to 2Pac CDs that I came around to the more popular, Death Row stuff (Makaveli is now my favorite Pac album).
I've still only listened to the double disc MAYBE a hand full of times.
14. "Add Thug Life Volume 1 as well" In response to Reply # 0
that's my personal fav Pac album, maybe cuz its short at 10 songs but I played that front to back a lot when it dropped
I thought both 2pacalypse and Strictly start off great but do have a lot of filler. That bass in Violent tho I always loved bumping loud, vibrating the whole apartment
18. "Those are the only two albums of his (plus the Thug Life one) that ever...." In response to Reply # 0
...really connected with me. I probably consider them both easily his best work. "Strictly" might even be classic to me. I think post-1993, 'Pac kinda went up his own ass and believing his own hype, and his music suffered for it. These two are both great though.
24. "Strictly Is My Favorite Pac Album" In response to Reply # 0
Me Against The World is great but Strictly was one of my favorite releases of 93. I bumped every song on there and every collaboration fit. It was his best job of mixing his East meets West coast styles. Holla If You Hear Me Is still my all time favorite Pac song.
