HOLD YA HEAD is my all time favorite 2pac Track !!! Go for a late night cruise solo and turn that song up, Will Hit you Hard ! Goosebumps n all that lol
Makaveli is the greatest rap album of all time! By the greatest artist of all time! Every song from start to finish is fire without big name producers or features.
Bad Azz was criminally underrated. “Money’s like a strong prescription drug that’s got me addicted to the pleasure and the pain it inflict it’s…something bout the paper with the pictures of the presidents dead. Damn it’s like a mf plague was spread!” He wasn’t gang banging, but he also wasn’t preachy. He was just a dope emcee. And his voice was one of a kind, smooth delivery but raspy. No other rapper sounds like cuz. RIP
I only know badazz off the Makaveli album two songs right Hold Ya Head thats him singing in the hook? An obviously hes on the song Crazy aswell, but does he have other music??
@@PR-WAYthat’s not him on ‘Hold Ya Head’ Baz Azz is a member of the Dogg Pound & is on Tha Doggfather and Daz album Retaliation Revenge & Getback and has a great album called ‘ Word On The Streetz’ and Executive Decision is a decent album too, also don’t forget he’s all over Dogg Pound related tracks
@@PR-WAY he had a few albums. My favorites are Personal Business (this was probably his most commercially successful project, it had features like Ice Cube, Ras Kass, Snoop, Suga Free, Busta Rhymes, etc) and Money Run (produced by Hollis). His debut Word on Tha Streets is solid. He has a collab project with Bizzy Bone too. He on hella songs though. Snoop “Wrong Idea”, Dogg Pound “Where U From”, LBC Crew “Beware of My Crew” (Thin Line Between Love and Hate Soundtrack), he was on “Santa Claus Goes Straight to the Ghetto”. That’s not him singing on “Hold Ya Head” though, that’s Hurt-M-Badd.
Crook, I'm loving your breakdowns so far. I'd love to hear your take on Pac's Me Against The World Album. It's my favorite and unlike any hip-hop album I ever heard. Lord Knows was the first hip-hop song that made me cry. Definitely in my top 3 Pac songs of all time.
@@mspennyisaac “Lord Knows” is so good. My daughter almost ruined it by pointing out that it sounds like the hook says “your nose,” now I can’t unhear it lol
When it comes to 2pac, i can't make a top 3. I would go for a top 20, & all 20 are equal to each other. Lords Knows Keep Ya Head Up Hold Ya Head White Manz World Dear Mama Brendas Got A Baby I Wonder If Heaven Got A Ghetto Never Had A friend Like Me So Many Tears How Long Will They Mourn Me Starin' Through My Rearview Pour Out A Little Liqour Pain To Live & Die In L.A. Troublesome Runnin From The Police I Get Around 3 Of Americas Most Wanted Life Goes On Picture Me Rollin' Fuck. I think i don't even have a top 20 for this man. All his material is dope. I could go on and on .I only dislike maybe 2 or 3 tracks. Damn, even Dear Mama grew on me after watching the documentary. But if i really really really have to choose. Let's say i can listen to only 1 2pac song for the rest of my life. It would be the live mtv jamz performance of Keep Ya Head Up. Dave Hollister is amazing & Pac is raw af.
That’s what made Pac on another level. If Pac saw any type of potential in you as an artist or producer then he will give you an opportunity to showcase their talent. That’s love! Love for the underdogs!!
Thats last verse on Hold Ya Head is crazy soon as he kicks it off i feel that shit straight away its crazy how he mastered the art of doing that, he made you feel exactly how he did or how he wanted you to feel, he did it daymn near all the time, he was an elite lyricist & song writer the greatest in my opinion
The crazy part about the album is I would’ve really liked to see what the album after would’ve sounded like. I had so many questions after hearing makaveli. Yet it held so many life values and gems 💎
Don't forget Pac did the Gang Related movie + the soundtrack Songs Made Ni**az/Staring through my rearview...Makaveli Gridlocked + Soundtrack & never had a friend like me + Outlawz Collab...This man was lightyears so ahead as an artist
What people seems to forget the Oytlawz were kids. Literally kids rapping the way they did. Lyrical!! 2pac and the Outlawz is my favorite rap group of all time.
Love Y'alls channel. Been a fan of Tray Dee since Droppin Bombz. Keep the reviews going! dope to hear the praise of the West Coast legends. All these major channels don't give the West MCs their flowers. The west can hang with the rest.
My fav PAC songs off the top of my head : temptations , krazy, high till I die , death around the corner, ambitions of a ridah, so many tears, holla at me , never had a friend like me, staring out my rear view, Hail Mary , fame !! So many classics
Pac was so passionate about what he believed and loyal to the bone to who he thought at the time were friends. He was all this at 25. My theory is that by 30 pac would have gotten his circle down to at most 10 people. Most of which were going to be family. He was also gonna start thinking differently than what his family to this day is now preaching. He was gonna have a kid and end up being against abortion. Also he was gonna speak about not playing victim and fix ourselves instead of relying on the fake democrats. Unlike jay z and beyonce. He was gonna challenge black and brown to not rely on crooked politicians who think they got our vote on lock.
This part from the beginning of the 2nd verse on Krazy always got me: I see Bloods and Crips runnin' up the hill Lookin' for a better way My brothers and sisters, it's time to bail ‘Cause even thug niggas pray
I would love to hear all three of you break down the Str8 from the LBC compilation and recording it and the process behind it. I've been waiting for this part 2. My homie stole the CD and knocked on my door like "let's go listen to the new PAC album". True homie and what a first moment listening after Pac passed
Awesome I’m glad you three just said that “Listening with artist ears” You know I’ve been watching a lot of variety on TH-cam people talking about new music….. you know what . What if music sounds just as incredible to the current youth as it did to us.
Pac was a poet a general a soldier he was for the ppl and we'll never see a rapper like him..he was the rose that grew from the concrete..he made more in 25 yrs that more ppl do for life and you can feel the emotions in every fuckin word he said damn there will never be another like him
I’m still studying the work that PAC put into Makaveli from the first song till the end. Been fan of PAC though going up as a teen . As young king though I always got the most up respect for the West Coast. Till the day I die is West Coast to me. Very dope podcast Dee,Yac, and Crook be fan you especially Dee since I heard 21 jump street got the sound tracc till day as well peace, success and blessings to the three of you. Peace ✌🏿
I love it when people just keep it real about the 🐐 impact and how far way ahead of time he was and still is. Rest in power 🐐 Makaveli The Don, you truly truly miss bruh 💯💪🏾😤
Some time last year I finally listened to “Until the end of time” & “Better Dayz” I have to admit ok. Everyone who did the beats on those albums were actually pretty good. ….. and I guess that applies more to “Better Dayz” and I again I finally heard that conscious rap that people talk about when they mention him.
96 Bonnie & Clyde “Look for ME in the whirlwind !!!!! Pac was paying homage to the late great “Marcus Garvey” Black Liberation , look for my spirit in the revolution 🤛🏿✊🏿
Krazy is the best song on the album in my opinion from day one when I bought that album on release date in San Diego. Also shout out to Tray Deee for his song Dropping Bombs when I first heard that song I knew he was that chill dude with the killer flow such an amazing song. One of the first few rappers I liked from 1st song! RIP Badazz & PAC, legendary song!
HOLD YA HEAD is my all time favorite 2pac Track !!! Go for a late night cruise solo and turn that song up, Will Hit you Hard ! Goosebumps n all that lol
Mine too.
That late night cruise song by Pac for me is "Starin at the World through my Rearview"......but "Hold Ya Head" is a top 3 track for me on Makeveli
It’s definitely a solid track. It’s just something about Dope Fiends Diner that puts it up there for me. Kind of hard to pick a favorite
“Hold Ya Head” is my favorite 2pac song also 🔥🔥🔥
Mine as well… it’s just so real and raw, there’s nothing out there like it. Pac was just hitting his prime with Makaveli!! Greatest album of all time
Makaveli is the greatest rap album of all time! By the greatest artist of all time! Every song from start to finish is fire without big name producers or features.
Bad Azz was criminally underrated. “Money’s like a strong prescription drug that’s got me addicted to the pleasure and the pain it inflict it’s…something bout the paper with the pictures of the presidents dead.

On "against all oods" the helicopter and gunshots are from the scene in "The Godfather 3" when Zaza takes out the dons at the meeting.

Finally part 2
7 days later 😎
Why 7 days later
@@AndreDavis-d2b 7 day theory 🤷🏾♂️
Whats makes this even more dope is that Tray and Crook actually kicked it with Pac in real life. Great episode.
Did Crook really?
@@joeman6730yeah he talks about it in this episode
BEEN WAITING FOR PART 2!!!! RIP to the God 2pac Shakur - Greatest ARTIST of all time !!! Miss you Pac ! We keep your name alive down here !!

I wanna hear the outlaws talk about the album and the studio sessions in detail
That sh#ts like a unicorn there's plenty of footage about with a lot of the one nation sessions but nothing from killuminati sessions
@@DonTiberius35Edi from the Outlawz has a TH-cam page. Im sure some amazing content is coming
Facts
I have an old XXL magazine where the Outlawz discussed each track and the studio sessions for each. 🔥
I'm curious as to why Storm wasn't on the album.
Long list of great artists and I listen to them all, but nobody wrote and spit like Pac....
Preach 🙌🏾😤
Hold ya Head have me in tears everytime i listen to it hits my soul i feel that shit. Its very motivational
The crazy part about the album is I would’ve really liked to see what the album after would’ve sounded like. I had so many questions after hearing makaveli. Yet it held so many life values and gems 💎
Next album would been One Nation album.
@@justinperry2352 yeah but that’s a compilation album I was talking more solo album. He had a lot to say

Another guy who was waaaay ahead of his time was Spice One.
Very unnecessary to bring up lil yachty in a Pac conversation. She lost me with that one
I feel the same way, who the hell listens to yathy smh 🤦🏾♂️ he is irrelevant to this topic wtf.
Especially since yachtys dumbass dissed 2pac
I hate when she talks she fks up the breakdowns when crooked is cooking wit Pacs lyrics shoulda let him breakdown whole verses an shit
Who?? lol
This podcast is amazing
Pac was a poet a general a soldier he was for the ppl and we'll never see a rapper like him..he was the rose that grew from the concrete..he made more in 25 yrs that more ppl do for life and you can feel the emotions in every fuckin word he said damn there will never be another like him
Plus Tray Dee...go more in depth about your death row stories. I really want your pov on snoop and 2Pac more in depth homie.
