Ambitionz as a Ridah is arguably one of the the greatest intros to a rap album ever imo, its too good
and it doesnt get mentioned enough on internet rap discourse lmao
It might even be one of the hardest opening tracks on any album in general!
Bomb First takes it to another level.
Great opener
Can’t C Me is also a banger of an opener
Pac made this album in just two weeks immediately following his jail release! Just pure energy that was waiting to be put in song
That’s true but the beats were all ready for him. And he had already written most of the lyrics while in jail so it was just recording the songs
Not just this album. During those sessions he made even more songs, but they didn't make the cut.
@@akselcapuri he didnt write none of this in jail. He said jail kills his creative spirit.
@@akselcapurinah Pac had writers Block when he was in clinton so he laid all the verses in those two weeks. Usually within half an hour or less as many have Said in interviews n stuff.
He didn't write any stuff in prison
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Tupac Bob
i agree with this statement
Bobpac
i agree with this statement
Tupop
The spitting image
"U Can’t C Me" it meant that he was so far ahead of everybody else that, they couldn’t see him. He was on top of the rap game and ahead of everyone else in it.
I always saw it as a version of Tupac that was already dead
Yup pac always went both ways. He is dead and gone but everywhere at same time!@@hendrx
He was also ahead of his time spiritually.
What i love from double-CD's: the first few spins you have bangers and skippers. But if you discover the album 20 years later, the skippers become the bangers and the bangers become skippers :D
Kind of crazy that a 24 year old released music like this back then. I will always love Pac. I remember the day he died and it shook the world at the time. His legacy will live on forever!
A 24-year old back then was a grown man. Today a 24-year old is nothing but a child.
@@td6460he grew up fast because of the environment he was brought up in.
Bob, do you understand how lucky you are to be able to listen to this classic album for the first time? I wish i could erase my memory so i can do it again. great video as always
This one was a real treat, I gotta say. It was a long listening session, but goddamn it was worth it
@@bobthepoppopshows why tupac is considered what he is. A legend. But also, Makaveli is on another level though
@@bobthepoppopdisc 2 will be *MUCH* better when you listen again & aren't as tired
Heartz Of Men is my favorite song off of this album. A lot of people often write Tupac off as a lyricist, (I do this occasionally as well), but every verse on that song is a lyrical onslaught over a bouncy DJ Quik beat. Pac should’ve done a whole project with Quik because that track was ridiculous.
Extremely underrated. It's my favorite Pac track easily
"A lot of people often write Tupac off as a lyricist, (I do this occasionally as well)"
huh??
@@sprayman2395 he doesn’t have the intricate rhyme schemes or double entendres that a lot of emcees have. He’s still lyrically great when you think about it, but his lyricism often doesn’t shine through on the surface like someone like Lupe or Canibus.
@@williamnye1692 Most rappers of the 80s and the 90s arent lyricists then...
@sprayman2395 80s no maybe Rakim Krs One and a few others. 90s you trippin though.
2PAC is the ONLY rapper who can make a 2 hour album be fully enjoyable. His passion, emotion, flows, lyricism, and curation capability made this the greatest experience of the mind of Pac.
Sure you don’t know Big KRIT
I always struggled with the second disc. Wu Tang forever was a better double album in my opinion. But that album also lost some steam.
that albums isn't as long@@hjkkghjk6988
biggie also has a 2 hour album which is a better one tbh. also there's wu tang forever but that's cheating bc it's 10 guys,. I can't think of many 2 hour albums tbh
@@robintetriswhich one?
The biggest loss that hip-hop has ever and may ever experience. The what-if of his future is MASSIVE.
I know Nipsey Hussle is not for everyone but I feel like he had as much potential as Tupac. If not in music maybe in helping out his community. Tragic that the community was what killed him in the end
@@gilbertrivera1386nipsey isn’t anywhere close to tupac, nowhere near.
Yeah I agree. There's only a few people with that amount of potential. The only other artist I could think of was DMX but he lived to release his greatest material so thank god for that and rest in power
I feel like we needed Big L alot longer too.
@@michaellind4387 Definitely. His punchline game was on another level + he was legit. Everything he said he meant/experienced
Pac was a hit machine
Watched through Patreon, have been waiting for All Eyez On Me since bob reacted to MATW. Well worth the over 4 hour watch of analysis. Please bob just don’t take too long for Makaveli the 7 day theory🙏🏼 it’s 2pac’s most trimmed down concise project he’s made and his best.
I'm gonna push that one up the list 👍
@@bobthepoppop massive W it's his best by far
@@mackavellyna until the end of time his best
AEOM is his best produced album. The thing with 7DT is it was put together shortly after Pac died, so we don't know if everything that is featured on it would be featured on it or what would be the order of songs. When it comes to the albums before it, at least he was alive.
@@cloudyriver I think for the most part it's how he wanted it. The OG's are available on TH-cam and its very similar. Obviously minus the No Digity beat on Toss It Up and minus "Friends". They were actually listening to it when he got gunned down in Vegas.

You're doing GOD's work
I went to a house party the weekend this album dropped & they only played Disc 1 & 2 the *ENTIRE* night
You have got to hear “Hit ‘Em Up”. Especially with the talk of a ‘musical mercenary’ in the first track on this album. Hit ‘Em Up is the regarded by many as the greatest diss track of all time. A real burial and essentially a declaration of war between Tupac and many East Coast rappers.
2nd behind Ether
@@seanjjpaulNah. Ether is overrated if compared to Hit Em Up.
@@seanjjpaul one thing i love about ether too is that tupac is sampled on it in the beginning. tupac is technically on the two best diss tracks ever
@@guts1258 Hit em up is one of the most overrated diss track ever. Don''t ever hate on Ether lmao. Also, No vaseline shits on all diss tracks.
@@AgentLemmon The way Pac planned and strategized Hit ‘Em Up alone makes it a better diss song then Ether and No Vaseline and makes it one of the best diss songs. (Against All Odds is the best diss song in my opinion)
He planned to record hit ‘em up whe he was in jail. When he got out he hooks up with Faith Evans and told her he was recording the song which contains the sample from Don’t Look Any Further. Faith feeds all the information to Biggie.
Pac was recording the first version of Hit ‘em Up and waited to see if his album All Eyez On Me sold more then Biggie’s before Pac releases the song toward biggie.
Biggies album Ready to Die sold over 2 million at that time and biggie drops the “Get Money remix” with some shots at Pac and the same sample Pac uses for Hit ‘em Up and what he told Faith.
Than Pac released the album All Eyez On Me and within 2 months it sold 5 million and crushed Biggies sells.
Now he’s ready to drop Hit ‘Em Up. But before he drops it he wanted it to be harder and re-recorded the song with a flip of Biggies “Get Money” to “Take Money”.
Pac wants to release the track to a huge audience so everybody can hear it and includes it as a B side on the single “How Do You Want It”. The song debuted at number 1, so everybody that’s bought the single hears it. Within 2 months the single sold 2 million copies.
Well the rest is history…
In honor of Bob finally doing this album, I'm finally gonna sign up for Patreon 🥰
Me Against the World is his best album and the greatest hip hop album in my opinion
TRUE
def my fav album oat aswell
😂😂😂😂
They are definitely battling for that spot.
I 1000% agree.
Daz and Johnny J are 2 of the greatest and most underrated producers of all time
RIP Johnny J. Homie was so distraught over Pac's death that it ate him alive for years.
The magic of Tupacs voice is along with being naturally powerful, he always and consistently overdubbed his verses. Not just ad-libbing, which he hardly did, but the verses in their entirety. Pay attention and you can hear it. It sounds like 2 of him are rapping at the same time. Not very many rappers do it that way because if your voice isn’t good for it, it won’t sound good. Your tonal quality has to be just right to pull it off. I really enjoy watching your reactions. You give and open minded, honest perspective from someone who doesn’t typically listen to hip hop. You rock brother!
I remember this album release like it was yesterday, being from Oakland, CA we were all anticipating this album dropping. It was my junior year in High School, and that summer was so LIT. Everyone and I mean just about everyone was bumping this album. It was a helluva year in 1996, in more ways than one. The energy he emitted on this album was felt. Gone but never forgotten !!
i've never felt so much charisma in music like i do with tupac's songs
T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E
“The Hate U Give Little Infrants F*ucks Everyone” -Tupac
This the type of shit I was listening to in the car seat my dad always had this album on loop. So iconic so timeless. Pac made his craft look so easy such a masterful entertainer
One thing I don't like about the official release of this album is that they left out the original "California Love" and "Hit Em Up". Instead, they gave them both to us on single releases to sell more singles.
Also, 'Pac described this album (which was recorded in two weeks) as being intentionally less deep and introspective than his prior and future releases as his intent was to make a commercial, celebratory album, as well as use it as an outlet to vent. The last album that he completed before his passing is titled "Makaveli the Don - Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory", which he recorded and had mixed for release in seven days.
Started my rap journey loving Tribe, native tongues and the positive stuff. Never thought I’d like 2pac but when I got into his work it was all I listened to. Prepared me for a lot of the grief and loss I would experience coming out of highschool way back.
classic album by an all time artist . one of my favorite rappers and artists of all time bro, wish I could hear this 4 the first time again . I have so many memories listening 2 tupac and just hearing his music throughout the house as a kid. rest in peace 🖤
I don’t how comments I’m gonna leave, long vid lol. But calling this album “a war banner” is probably one of the greatest descriptions I’ve ever heard for the album, and I’ve been listening to this album since day one
Ambitionz Az a Ridah also has an alternative version, called Ambitionz Az a Fightah. Which was made for Mike Tyson as a coming up song during matcheds. Hence "Let's get ready to rumble" at the start of the song
Same sample on “shorty wanna be a thug” as “drive slow” by Kanye
You would love DJ Quik’s rhythmalism and safe + Sound. Bro is one of the greatest producer rappers of all time and ghost produced hella hits. Many g funk fans find him better than Dre too.
Those who know know. Quik even gave Dre 'In Da Club', for the whole Truth Hurts/So Addictive sample legal issues. People need to know who's musical creativity they're really listening too! By far most underrated producer in the game. All cause of politics.
Crazy how Quik always gives props to Dre but a lot of Dre’s best work has Quik on it. He was instrumental in Dre’s career
Yeah Quik is right up there with Dre for sure
I’ve been following Pac since 95, and All Eyez on Me is one of my all time favorite albums. But that verse from Napoleon tho… I never knew, and I got the same look on my face as you did when you explained the meaning behind his verse. Damn. Just… damn.
What song
@@trappz10x36 Trading War Stories
i was born 4 days before this album dropped and today its still one of my top 5
oh man... ambitionz az a ridah. i already know you'll love the lyrics of this one. a TRUE classic
You should do 2Pacalypse Now, he's at his rawest and most thought provoking on that one
A top tier Bob reaction 🔥
This version of California Love was on the album because they couldn't clear the Joe Cocker sample
Meeting George Clinton, the Feature on "U CAN'T C ME" was one of the greatest moment of my entire life. 2PAC n ME worshipped him.
Gotta love Roger Troutman's talkbox too.
Ain’t hard to find pac actually speaks on his murder in the first verse . It’s so prolific
I’m excited! It’s nice to see you go deeper into the catalogue of artists you’ve already listened to especially major culturally relevant rappers like Pac. Also as a side note don’t forget about D’Angelo.
I've wondered for years why the beat from "shorty wanna be a thug" sounded so familiar to me even though I almost never listen to that song, Now I just realized that Kanye used the same sample for "Drive Slow" lol
"Im not dead and im coming for all of you" summed it up perfectly
If you’ve never heard this album and it’s your first time. What a treat. Hope you enjoy as much was we have keeping it on repeat for the last like 27yrs
I had just watched the Me Against The World album reaction that’s over a year old yesterday and then see you drop a teaser for this after that. What timing.
The music video reactions on patreon are the best thing you could have done 🎉
Love this..WOW..you did a great reaction to this album ❤❤
Bob i love your vids and i was waiting for this oneee keep up the great work man
One of the only albums THAT long that I’ve truly enjoyed! Tupac is energetic, free spirited and simply a genius. We miss him, His presence will live on.
You should definitely listen to 2Pacalypse Now. That album is pure rage and gives you a different perspective on society.
One aspect I've grown to appreciate about this classic is that coming from a musical household stocked full of vinyls, you can catch some clever samples and they become better over time with the sheer amount of rap artists who followed that pretty much flipped the same sample due to Pac's influence. Pac is like that undeniable bridge to generations. Really, like a spark to cause change even after leaving Earth - but his spirit lives within countless other's artistry.
Shorty Wanna Be A Thug ➡️ Drive Slow (ye)
Ratha Be Ya N!gg@ ➡️ B.!.T.C.H (Megan)
All Eyez On Me➡️ All Eyes On You (Meek Mill)
All Bout U ➡️ Wouldn't Get Far (The Game), West Coast Weekend (Tyga), lol that one scene in _Scary Movie_ ...
Life Goes On➡️ Home for the Holidays (J.Cole)
Thug Passion➡️ I No Longer Fear the Razor... ($uicideboy$; vocal chop/pitch)
Run Tha Streetz➡️ Subenstein (Big K.R.I.T; melody interpolation)
No More Pain➡️Right Now (Future)
California Love➡️ too many, and that one Rusko song the Golden State Warriors play every 10 mins every game.
Ambitionz Az A Ridah has been flipped by a surplus of modern rappers/producers it's pretty much a necessary flow/beat now. Though not on AEOM, I am quite fond of J.Cole's use of *Pain* on *See World* and K.R.I.T.'s use of *Changes* on *The Vent* .
*All Eyez On Me x Bittersweet Symphony* is an interesting listen too.
I’ve always seen a lot of similarities between Tupac and Freddie Gibbs. They both ride the beat like an ice cube on a hot stove. They glide
always made this comparison, gibbs is the modern day (but less commercially successful) 2pac.
MEECHY DARKO is the modern day Tupac
@@INCRYPTIDFORMironic cause Gibbs & Meech have been my favorite lyricists in the past 10+ years
@@felix3033 Capital STEEZ and the entire FBZ too lol
Love your authentic reactions man I'm gonna enjoy going through some of your other album reactions 🤘❤️🔥
2 CD albums that are actually great are incredibly rare, and this is absolutely one of those.
Incredible album
Can’t wait for your Big Krit reaction 🔥PAC is one of the greatest to ever go do it hand down Great reaction Bob 💪🏾💯
gotta love the 2 and a half hours and 360p good job bob
U can feel pac in all his songs
2 hour and 30 minute video by bob were very blessed
This is my favorite 2pac album So glad you did this one
You did a honorable service to this album and the artists; thank you for bringing me back!
C-Bo is maybe a bit underrated. The album "Til My Casket Drops" was fantastic. "Desperado Outlaws" has one of the dopest basslines ever.
C-BO is a west coast underground legend that never got the mainstream attention he should have. Very talented and in his early days compared to Ice Cube for his delivery but made his own mark on the culture.
2pac had the street records,conscious records,the songs for the ladies,clubs.
Crazy, when you were listening to Holla At Me, you said just imagine he’s talking about you…He was talking about Big Stretch (and on Ambitionz), who was killed 4 months before the album dropped. So he actually never got to hear it.
Bob feeding the streets 🙏🤞🏾
I really enjoyed your review. Your laugh had me in stitches. I had fun because you kept me laughing!!! Thanks!
One of the most iconic hip hop albums of all time
I so hope that bob becomes big enough on TH-cam to pursue it full time
Cannot wait for Makaveli: The 7 Day Theory, that album is so dense in meaning and will be a joy to breakdown.
Just finished the entire upload, and I must say it was good. I related to pac in my early teens in the late 90s living in Cali, and everything he raps about I've seen, many of us have , in one form or another. When he calls a girl a "bitch", we know exactly what he means. "A loaded 357 with hollow points to a nigga belly". what he's describing was the norm and probably still is in some places. I know the lyrics of all his music, and I just play the instrumentals now that I have kids and live in the burbs. Lol. Fair assessment for someone listening to an album made almost 30 yrs ago about street life in the 90s. Keep up the good work.
I really loved that reaction Bob; and I am really looking forward to Your reaction to 4eva is a Mighty Long Time; That Double Album is a Masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥
Regarding California love it was originally going to be only Dr Dre on the song but once 2Pac came to Death Row a lot of people's other material got given to him. it was planned to go on Dr Dres album so the remix got put on this but Dre left Death Row so the original never landed on any of his albums. He gets credited with producing the remix but I believe it was produced by a duo from the Bay Area or something.
Glad you reacted to this classic, Bob 🔥🔥. 2pac is forever the goat 🐐🐐. I'm really looking foward to when you do 4eva is a mighty long time by BIG KRIT. Amazing double album in its own right.
I love what you are doing here! Taking the time to slowly go through classic albums nearly 40 years later is commendable. One minor point. You might benefit from doing listening to these albums with someone who already knows them inside out to help explain some of the subtle points that are being missed. There is a lot of context that needs to be brought to light. There are answers to a lot of the questions that you ask. There are key points about what was transpiring at the time that explains what these songs are really about.
💯💯💯
All Eyez On Me - 2Pac's magnus opus. Top 5 album for me, Heartz of Men is my favorite track.
my other albums:
OB4CL
36 Chambers
Illmatic
Infamous
Oh damn this was a great surprise. Haven't been this excited since Food & Liquor. Bout to watch.
No More Pain uses a Method Man chorus from I Came to Bring the Pain. I love this song its so HARD.
You edited out my favorite bars on Heartz of Men, "my lyrical verse with so much pain to some [people] it hurts my guns bust if you aint one of us it gets worse"
Not sure when I realized the remix and original California Love were different. Not sure which I like more.
I used to hate Whats Ya Phone #, took me to get older to appreciate it. Its a grow on you type track. I love it now.
Holla At Me is so fire. 3rd verse he just goes hard.
Agree about Wonder Why They Call You... I think he did a decent job though of not characterizing all women like that
Thug Passion... the 2nd disc is more vibes than the 1st disc which had all the big singles. I think CA and specifically Bar Area people preferred disc 2.
Rather Be Your.... I love Pac and Richie Rich collabs. They had a song on Me Against the World "Heavy In the Game" and on his posthumous album R U Still Down.
No need to break down lyrics with Pac, it's pretty straight forward.
The end of the track shit talk on the entire album is epic.
You gotta hear about the E40 situation with Biggie.
27 years later I still miss hearin Pac. Its not fair they took him from us. It was therapeutic to be able to experience it for the first time again through someone elses ears.
Editing sucks because I have to just hack away at the tracks :(
It's my least favorite thing to do related to this channel ... cutting out music. Kills my soul
Thank you for staying with reacting to rap unlike that other channel that tried to change it 🙏🏽
which channel?
thats why pac is the goat, he is my goat🐐
One of the greatest album of all time
I could write up so many things about this album, but i am really glad you picked up on that Napoleon verse on Tradin War Stories. Never have i seen such emotional and deep verse, even tho its such a short verse
Forever Is A Mighty Long Time is absolutely worth it. Can't wait for your reaction to it.
Makavelli is a great album too, Don Killuminati is amazing and is much more concise. He recorded that right before he passed, it’s a lot more introspective and “war” like, it’s the last album he curated but was released posthumously
Fun Fact
This album was recorded in two weeks. It was a double disk CD.
When I was a kid I wasn't a big fan of I ain't mad at cha. I'm 42 now and have lived a life and can relate to this. Makes me happy for my my friends and family
The album came out in February 1996 and he died September 1996 it was 7 months later. He recorded all eyes on me when he got out n people say it took him 2 weeks but the recordings lasted from October to December 1995 then released in February 1996 and it's his best selling album.
I've been watching for a couple of years, without saying much. I think it's kinda cool see you turn into a hip hop head.
One of the 3 iconic 90s hip hop double albums - along with Wu-Tang Forever and Life After Death. I go back and forth all the time with how I rank them, but I will say I think AEOM has the least sonic diversity out of the 3
Its the most iconic easily (and by far the best). One, because he is the first to every do it and ofc biggie tried to copy it. And second because he was fresh outta jail and killed the whole east coast with 1 album
Trading War Stories is a classic. Just not commercial like a lot of the songs on that album.
The original version of California Love was not available on any of Shakur's studio albums, due to it being intended for Dr. Dre's shelved The Chronic II: A New World Odor (Poppa's Got A Brand New Funk).
It was later released on the 2Pac Greatest hits album. It was however on the UK version of All Eyes on Me.
RIP Pac, Johnny J & Kadafi 🙏🏽🕊️
Loving this 2pac reaction so far. Definitely looking forward to the infamous , please react to the 25th anniversary extended edition of Mobb Deep’s the Infamous, there’s 3 more bonus tracks and all are amazing, definitely worth reacting to the 25th anniversary edition, it’s the same as the original just with 3 bonus tracks and 2 instrumentals but the bonus tracks definitely end the album off nicely (particularly the fact shook ones pt1 is one of the bonus tracks which is a must listen especially after pt2). Hope you’re well Bob have a good week. 👍
Thanks for mentioning the bonus tracks because I probably would have done the standard version otherwise
@@bobthepoppopno worries, glad you saw my comment 😅, hope you’re doing well Bob. 👍
@@bobthepoppopIt's because back in the day the HIV risk was on a high rate and back then they said it mainly came from females so on that particulary time 2pac actually wanted to save many women from the Ghettos and looking now we all now that both gender can carry HIV but back then it wasn't all informative the health care and Dolores was that stupid woman politician wanted to ban rap music that's why he called her out
Gotta react to an E-40 album. In a Major Way or Element of Surprise
In a Major Way to start.
Makaveli The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, his last album, is a must listen
3:38 i always thought he said "this life as a rap star is nothin without HEART" , not 'guard' like it says in the lyrics there
The Greatest Rapper Of All Time
A classic Pac album! Makaveli is my favorite but this one is more accessible
Your ability and the work you put in to see a person perspective that is widely different from yours is admirable and remarkable
This channel is pure gold
Please also do the Makaveli album. Super eerie and possibly his best
And if you didn't yet, you have to give Hit em Up a listen
A lot of ppl speculated that Pac was super paranoid about dying and he just knew it was coming and dropped hints about it in his music. I urge you to listen to his Makaveli album. He really gets into it there.
Nice video bob! would be nice that you make a video or something talkin about The Wire since you metioned it in this video, is a series that i love and would be nice to hear you talk about it once you finish it. Greetins from Spain and keep up with this great content!! :)
I waited for this for so long. This album is just a masterpiece holy shit. Can't wait to get through this video haha. The best double disc album I can think of. Nothing comes close. To keep you engaged for this long is just amazing. Recording in two weeks as well. Pac was on another level when he made this. 27 tracks, 2 fillers to calm your ass down lol. Nuff said.
Never gets old listening to people discovering 90s rap
