Free Music Notes for 2Pacalypse Now
Free Music Review: 2pac Was In The Game at age 21! (My name is O.I.)
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD was very great. But I staedy look for the edited version, becuase the explicity seemed great. I like the song called Trapped, not because of its lyrics, but because of the beat and tune. Tha Lunatic was my song! Rebel Of The Underground was a very tight song. If My HOmies Call was the tightest song in here to me. I was surprised of this song's tune, because the first version of this song I ever listened to was the remix, on this rare single of it I had. This single is somewhere at my mother's house,and I hope to get it back one day. The only downside is the explicity. I don't like a lot of it. Free Music Review: "2Pacalypse Now" Review

When Tupac Shakur dropped his solo debut, "2Pacalypse Now" in 1991, he was far from the controversial media target that he would become during his final years. His biggest claim to fame at this point was his show-stealing verse on Digital Underground's "Same Song". Aiming to establish himself as his own identity outside of the group while still staying true to those who opened the door for his career, Pac teamed with Shock G to give people a taste of what he had to offer as a solo star.
"2Pacalypse Now" isn't quite on the level of such classic debuts as Nas' "Illmatic" and Biggie's "Ready To Die" or even Pac's later work on "Me Against The World" but it is still a very overlooked album in its own right. Sure, Pac doesn't have the lyrical ability of someone like Nas or the tremendous flow of a Notorious B.I.G. but his gift for painting powerfully poetic pictures with his words is unmatched by even the most elite of his rapping peers. While "2Pacalypse" put Pac on the hit list of many angry politicians for his angry "f--k the system" approach, the same critics never bothered to look deeper at the social commentary he was providing. While tracks like "Souljah's Story" and "Trapped" are rooted in the rage of hungry ghetto youth, "If My Homie Calls" showcases Pac's undying loyalty for his comrades. Pac also dedicates a great deal of this album to talking about the problems facing black females with cuts like "Part Time Mutha" and "Brenda's Got A Baby". The latter of which could be considered his most female-friendly song next to "Keep Ya Head Up".
"2Pacalypse Now" did cause an outrage amongst white America. It may have scared politicans far worse than albums like Ice Cube's "Amerikka's Most Wanted" and N.W.A.'s "Straight Outta Compton" for the simple fact that it wasn't just screaming anti-authority anthems, it was detailing the problems in many poor urban communities and forcing people to deal with them. It challenged all of the hypocritical world leaders to look at what they created and account for it. While it might not go down as Pac's most beloved work, "2Pacalypse" is certainly groundbreaking in its own right.

I made this review because i saw that this album got only 4 stars. This album is the real thing, everybody should skip everything and start straight here. This is the album that set it off. It's not the best album of 2pac, but it's a very good start. It seems like a digital underground album with 2pac on the vocals. The beats are like the ones of digital underground but the lyrics are much harder then any digital underground album. I must say that without digital underground, there is no 2pac. The best songs are Trapped, Soulja's Story, If My Homie Calls, Brenda's Got A Baby and Rebel Of The Underground.
