There is so much material to examine and I might add ENJOY in the catalog of 2pac. From his early days working with Digital Underground through over a decade after his death there are about 250 songs from this young artist. When listening to 2pac songs I can always feel the emotion behind what the guy was saying and I actually take the lessons that he was trying to teach and apply them to my own life. Tupac Shakur and John Lennon are my two biggest musical and in many ways political influences. In my own opinion Tupac was the last great voice of the people and since we lost him no other artist has stepped forward to take the reigns.
My 3 Favorite 2pac Songs was a really tough thing to break down. I have so many favorites but I sat and I put some serious thought into it and these 3 songs are my picks and I'll explain why...
- Dear Mama: "Dear Mama" is a song off of the album "Me Against The World" and is a standard 2pac song when it comes to powerful emotion. A song for his Mother, "Dear Mama" is a beautifully written song with a beautiful beat to it and the vibe of the song is so heart warming. A man expressing his undying love and appreciation for the woman that gave him life and whom he'd grown up watching struggle in society.
- Last Wordz: "Last Wordz" is a track off of the "Strictly 4 My N.*.G.G.A.Z." album and features Ice Cube and Ice T. I love the flow on this song from all 3 artists and I love how powerful the lyrics are. One of my favorite songs from 2pac most definitely and it's a plus that Ice T and Ice Cube were on this song because all three are the stuff!
- Hold Ya Head: "Hold Ya Head" is off the "Killuminati: 7 Day Theory" album and is a powerful track. I love the lyrics and the beat. I think the entire 7 Day Theory album is a masterpiece but this song happens to be my favorite.
