Canadian Music Store Free Music Notes for Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.Free Music Review: "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z." ReviewWith his second LP, Tupac Shakur hit 'em where it hurt once again. Having been attacked both verbally and physically since his first solo, "2Pacalypse Now" was released, Pac used his sophomore project to express how he felt about how the media was portraying him. In typical Pac fashion, he wasn't holding his tounge for anyone. "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z." opens with Pac's adrenaline-filled "Holler If Ya Hear Me" where the young Mr. Shakur calls for black youth to step up and fight back against its opposition. In another area of the album on "Keep Ya Head Up", Pac shows his tender side by givng it up for all of the sisters. This will probably be remembered as Pac's most sensitive track, next to "Dear Mama" which showed up on his next album, "Me Against The World". Just because Pac was showing love for the ladies didn't mean he wasn't gonna show his freaky side on tracks like "I Get Around" where he celebrated being a player and the lifestyle that came with it. Pac's anger came out quite a bit on "Strictly", whether it was straight-forward on "Souljah's Revenge" where he calls police "the biggest gang of niggaz in the city" or disguised in the sadness of an unwanted child on the emotional "Papa'z Song". While still young to the rap game, Pac showed he could hold his own next to veterans like Ice Cube and Ice-T on "Last Wordz" and with Treach of Naughty By Nature on "5 Deadly Venomz". "Strictly" wasn't exactly Pac's most complete album but a lot of it had less to do with Pac's writing and more to do with his choice of production.
