Frankie AK-47 yes and 2Pacalypse Now could deserved to be Pac first double disc debut album because there are still 14 unused track that weren't released with this album for unknown reason. If only the 14 unused track were released with the 13 official released track, it would be 27 track list at all just like All Eyez on Me track list and 2Pacapypse Now would be his first double disc ever. I wonder why the project weren't done like that?
We can definitely tell that 2Pacalypse Now should be the first double disc debut album ever. But I don't know why Tupac remove another 14 tracks that were unused and unreleased then after 2Pacalypse released.
You know why 2Pacalypse Now is most underrated although the lyrical content, delivery and the message were incredible but Ready To Die and Illmatic are most overrated?? Because RDR and Illmatic have better production plus we definitely know the lyrical content and storyteller are dope. Well, 2Pacalypse just have a wack production but the lyrics were incredible, and they removed most of their best numerous track which they already have 17 unreleased track(if I'm not mistaken) that already been unused which all of it were unreleased. If only the production on the album, 2Pacalypse were super like they did to All Eyez On Me and Me Against The World production, 2Pacalyspe definitely better than Ready To Die and Illmatic. Beside, if only they release the numerous track that we never heard from it with the official track, these album would be the first double disc debut album ever that RDR and Illmatic never did it. 2Pacalypse is actually mark of the born of hip hop revolutionary. Tupac work ethic were actually incredible than any other rapper

Rappers that have first solo albums that are still their best: Snoop, Nas, Jay-Z, Meth, GZA, Raekwon, Warren G, Domino, Dr.Dre, 50 Cent, Eazy-E, Slick Rick, The Game, Big Daddy Kane.
I guess I'm one of the few people that actually had that 2Pacalypse album then. Tupac is my favorite rapper/mc of all time. Some say he's a poet...I say he was a poet,a rapper, a great thinker of his day, and much more!
Damn, that's crazy how people slept on 2Pacalypse Now. That album had/still has MAJOR SUBSTANCE... Listen to it now and that shhht will blow your mind. Pac had a lot to talk about. Rest In Paradise Pac. 1 luv Money B
Anyone with a loud booming stereo back then had Violent on deck. The base line was fire and the lyrics got you amped. I destroyed a lot of subs and amps on this song back then. I still play it to this day.
I feel the reason it didn’t have the impact as his others because he didn’t have the formula he figured out with S4MN , you got to have them radio songs
Guys, at least 2Pacalypse Now didn't flop like Eminem debut album, Infinite where the album still doesn't certificate gold and still doesn't reach 900000+ sale of copies like 2Pacalypse Now.
2pacalypse now still had the vice president going at tupac after a police officer was mudered and the killer said he was influenced by the album to do it. but strickly 4 my niggaz is when Pacs career really started to take off. that album is alot more aggressive and raw compared to his first album.
Couldn't get the album in France in '92 but "If my homies call"'s been played on a show called "Rapline" and got me shocked, mostly because of the beat and flows as I couldn't get the lyrics' meaning... I had recorded it on tape and I was playing it over and over... When I heard the allbum, waaay after, I was also shocked by "Young Black Male" because of the early use of double-time flow... He was almost trapping already! 2pac is the best, had he survived, the world wouldn't've been the same...
Me Against The World is my favorite 2Pac album because not only does it have great lyrics but, in my opinion, it was Pac's first album to have really dope production. His older albums have some decent beats but, Me Against the World switched up the production style and that made him blow up and become an international superstar.
I was stationed in Alaska when the movie Juice came out. One day I went to the record store in the mall and I recognized 2pac's album 2pacalyse Now. It was an instant buy for me and I didn't hear one song before hand. I was the first to play it in the barracks everybody was like who is that and I've been a 2pac fan ever since. RIP 2pac and Shock G.

Pac was only 19 or 20 years old writing that album name any 19 yr old with that much rawness, intelligents, realness, in your face, socially conscious mindset that ever came out during that time. You don't hear no rapper today come close with that type of lyrical poetic genius. Pac is a child of the 70s, a product of the 60s of the Civil Rights and Black Panthers era.

2pacalypse now got slept on. That album is fire... souljha story, i dont give a f, violent, words of wisdom, part time mutha , straight fire... it didnt sell because it wasn't a party record. All that bs sells... to be honest Tupac wasn't that successful alive. He wasn't a party rapper. He became more popular after death. The albums that sold the best were me against the world and all eyez on me. They were successful because pac was gaining popularity from his controversial situations that got spread through the news. He got the reputation of being real... meaning a rapper who lives the way he raps. Alot like the hype that surrounded 50 cent when he first came out. For me its its one of his best albums.
Some youngin' argued with me about how Pac always was this huge star in the west doing big numbers... It's good to see these other stories speaking on the actual man and not the myth that could do nothing less than greatness at all times. R.I.P. Pac
I’m here 30 years after the release, His consciousness was on a whole different level, the issues he discussed on this album are still relevant to this day!!! It had the VP heated and this album actually sparked more minds then everyone thinks
@@michaelhawkins8474 you sound stupid. I know you cant help it because you are a 2Pac fanboy. But a terrrible album is a terrible album.Chuck D did it better Ice Cube did it better.
On April 19, 1995, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States. DAMN!!!! released in 1991 didn't go GOLD until 1995. that niggas was lucky!!!!
U got consider that the higher up was trying to ban that album. Political people was not trying to let him come out, but the people start listening and he couldn't be stopped
If u read the lyrics on every song on this album. I will guarantee you will read it over and over. trust the music maybe selective but what he says word for word its very powerful.
If you look closely at the brendas got a baby video money b actually messed up. When they all stand up money b stumbles and then smiles cos he messed up although they all are supposed to be serious
TheLakers2423 the fact that he had a album that didn't go platinum or gold people put PAC on a pedestal like he could do no wrong he had to grow and develop as an artist just like everyone else
TheLakers2423 I agree but you still have to understand that the facts are facts PAC is my favorite artist as well but me personally I don't put him on a high horse
My favorite record by Pac. Crooked Ass Nigga is my favorite song by Pac, no other song comes close. Pac and Big Stretch were perfect together. The songs that Stretch produced and rapped on with Pac are all 🔥. Under Pressure, Holla if Ya Hear Me and Pain were all produced by Big Stretch and he raps on all but Holla If Ya Hear Me. I wish 2Pac didn’t have Stretch killed and we got more music by them together because their chemistry was insane. Money B is a great story teller, I love listening to him talk about all the old Digital Underground, 2Pac and Raw Fusion stories. Good times
Wen pacs second album dropped the first single flopped harder than his first three then I get around came out and blew up it took five singles before he had a hit song then every single he released was a smash hit until the end
The reason it flopped on release is because the production is HORRIBLE!!! But the lyrics are incredible. Anyone who doesn't agree, go listen to Soulja's Story, Words of Wisdom, Violent and Trapped. Then of course it had hits like Brenda's Got a Baby and If My Homie's Call, but the other songs are much better.
SHPzFinest Exactly. First album had bad production and I remember an interview where Pac said after that album he let Shock G pick a lot of his beats because he had a better ear for instrumentals. Strictly the beats started to get real good and had big mainstream appeal, but then the beats on Me Against The World, All Eeyez On Me and Makaveli were FIRE! In fact, even the beats on the Thug Life album were great.
Trapped, I Dont Give A Fuck and Brenda had solid production. But I do agree some of the other songs could have been better produced. 2Pac scrapped Scared Straight and Revenge of The Lunatic, which you can find on youtube. Those would have been solid additions. A lot of other songs he scrapped but most wouldn't jive with the album like resist the temptation, tears of a clown, dopefiends diner, break em off something, funky freestyles, nigga.
I was riding with my younger brother when I first heard 2Pacalypse Now. I turned to my brother and I said, he’s going to be the greatest rapper ever, no doubt whatsoever.
"Money B, the freaky deaky, the sqeaky meaky up and down As a matter of fact ill be right back I gotta take a leak So I'm drainin entertainin, but I got fame And the bases I touch too much for me tryin to be namin"
BlowYa BrainzOut yes. At least, 2Pacalyspe Now didn't flop like Eminem album, Infinite where the album still doesn't reach to certificate gold and doesn't even reach 900000+ sales unit like 2Pacalypse Now.
He often doesn't know what he's talking about. Also if you peep, he claims he's down with Pac but he be hating on the low. . He's always saying lil slick shit. Seems as if he's jealous & envious if 2Pac. I've noticed his energy is off when it comes to Pac. Atleast it is to me.
its a good album, but its not his best work. Makaveli, Me against the world are his best pieces. Still I Rise was great for a posthumous album. Same with Better Dayz.
anyone catch the name of the female singer on brendas gotta baby? imo, her and dave hollister were like the icing on the cake for that track, the singing they added was goddamn powerful. that, with pacs gritty-but-realistic verse and a depressing beat is what makes that track one of pacs best
2pacalypse Now>>>>> Strickly 4 My Niggaz.... Pac's flow was on top, his lyrics were hardcore revolutionary, very political etc...One of his best album in my view!
The reason Tupac first album didn't do well because at that time West Coast artists had west coast beats and the East Coast artists had East Coast beats each coast had their own sound when Tupac dropped his album it had no coastal sound the beats didn't sound like the west coast or the east coast
I don't know why this album never done good at the time of release, Trapped/When my homie calls/ Brendas got a baby are all hot songs. I actually listen to this album quite a bit and love it.
Whole album was dope one of my faves is violent 🔥 “ just because we play what the ppl want” ....... freaks of the industry from digital had a sick azz smooth beat and my boy money killed it lol
2pacalypse Now was to ahead of its time, the words and message went over dumb drunk and get high idiots heads, the album was a Revolutionary Soundtrack
Just because a album doesn’t sell a lot, doesn’t mean 😢 it flop. Look at how long it took Jay and Nas first album to go platinum. And their albums was s3-5 years after Pac debute album. Hiphop was maturing a lil
Yall he said "" I may not change the world ,but I guarantee I'll spark the brain that will one day change the world and he has after death. So many songs can relate to the world today and 4 years to come.r .i.p.pac u was n is the greatest n no one should ever b on his level cus no one can touch him .I hate how others say I'm the next tupac.those r some big ass shoes n can't no one fill them.pac will 4ever be the best and greatest at his craft no one can touch his legacy. No one.not now .not ever
Vlad, your research team failed you. He questions Money B. about the song "Same Song" and talks about it wasn't a mega-hit , Money B. replies "it went gold".

My opinion 2pac first album was Raw the world wasn't wasn't ready for his talent from top to bottom lyrics and production was on point
Soulja Story, Violent, Crooked As Nigga,Tha Luntic ,My Homie Calls all heat
Dope T-shirt
Vlad... been listening to a lot of these interviews non-stop over the last few weeks.
Really enjoying them; thanks very much!
Just goes to show you, you CAN'T rush art!
Amazing video 📼 keep up the amazing work.
Yeah that means he was ahead of his time and it took society 15yrs later to catch up!!!
That album had classic raw uncut songs, like soulja's story
The album went gold a few yrs later in 93 I believe.
@@aaadj2744 yeah, but Eminem is alive and he's successful now so that doesn't matter 😂😂
U got consider that the higher up was trying to ban that album. Political people was not trying to let him come out, but the people start listening and he couldn't be stopped
Album was amazing.
I wore that 1st album out. (Cassette) ☺ Loved it. Still one of my favorites.
Money B sounds like DJ Premier
Also Nas alil bit
If u read the lyrics on every song on this album. I will guarantee you will read it over and over. trust the music maybe selective but what he says word for word its very powerful.
I had that album and I would turn my subs all the way up when Violent came on, that beat was sick!
If you look closely at the brendas got a baby video money b actually messed up.
When they all stand up money b stumbles and then smiles cos he messed up although they all are supposed to be serious
That album is a classic 🔥
But unfortunately underrated.. Maybe because he was ahead of time so it flew over people’s head..
🐐
Words of Wisdom is my favourite song from that album
That blew my mind. I never knew PAC didn't write trapped.
PAC was still human people...
was does pac being human have to do with your comment
TheLakers2423 the fact that he had a album that didn't go platinum or gold people put PAC on a pedestal like he could do no wrong he had to grow and develop as an artist just like everyone else
lol every fan put there favorite artist or celebs on a pedestal haters just mad 20 years later pac is worldwide known as the goat or most influence
TheLakers2423 I agree but you still have to understand that the facts are facts PAC is my favorite artist as well but me personally I don't put him on a high horse
Joe Easterly you're basically stating that you're not a man worshipper. You deal with tupac as a man with proper perspective. Not as a idol.
My favorite record by Pac. Crooked Ass Nigga is my favorite song by Pac, no other song comes close. Pac and Big Stretch were perfect together. The songs that Stretch produced and rapped on with Pac are all 🔥. Under Pressure, Holla if Ya Hear Me and Pain were all produced by Big Stretch and he raps on all but Holla If Ya Hear Me. I wish 2Pac didn’t have Stretch killed and we got more music by them together because their chemistry was insane. Money B is a great story teller, I love listening to him talk about all the old Digital Underground, 2Pac and Raw Fusion stories. Good times
Wen pacs second album dropped the first single flopped harder than his first three then I get around came out and blew up it took five singles before he had a hit song then every single he released was a smash hit until the end
The reason it flopped on release is because the production is HORRIBLE!!! But the lyrics are incredible. Anyone who doesn't agree, go listen to Soulja's Story, Words of Wisdom, Violent and Trapped. Then of course it had hits like Brenda's Got a Baby and If My Homie's Call, but the other songs are much better.
JustinBlazzzee Yeah always felt production was wack on that album. Lyrics always dope
JustinBlazzzee true I like to bump when my homies call but I gotta turn up the whole volume to actually listen to it loud
I Don't Give A Fuck and Something Wicked are two favorites of mines on that album.
SHPzFinest Exactly. First album had bad production and I remember an interview where Pac said after that album he let Shock G pick a lot of his beats because he had a better ear for instrumentals. Strictly the beats started to get real good and had big mainstream appeal, but then the beats on Me Against The World, All Eeyez On Me and Makaveli were FIRE! In fact, even the beats on the Thug Life album were great.
Trapped, I Dont Give A Fuck and Brenda had solid production. But I do agree some of the other songs could have been better produced. 2Pac scrapped Scared Straight and Revenge of The Lunatic, which you can find on youtube. Those would have been solid additions. A lot of other songs he scrapped but most wouldn't jive with the album like resist the temptation, tears of a clown, dopefiends diner, break em off something, funky freestyles, nigga.
I always used to say, once Pac got some beats, he'd be the best rapper out. Then he joined Tha Row. The rest is history.
And still NOT the best rapper
I was riding with my younger brother when I first heard 2Pacalypse Now. I turned to my brother and I said, he’s going to be the greatest rapper ever, no doubt whatsoever.
"Money B, the freaky deaky, the sqeaky meaky up and down
As a matter of fact ill be right back I gotta take a leak
So I'm drainin entertainin, but I got fame
And the bases I touch too much for me tryin to be namin"
In my honest opinion 2pacalypse now is his best album
I bought that album twice. I played "When my homies call" to death.
Tupac made six classic albums he definitely too his god given gifts serious 💯
Vfujxdy Hfr At least, 2Pacalypse Now didn't flop like Eminem album, Infinite where the album still doesn't reach to certificate gold.
Flopped? Nearly 1million copies sold & Back then thats no flop
BlowYa BrainzOut yes. At least, 2Pacalyspe Now didn't flop like Eminem album, Infinite where the album still doesn't reach to certificate gold and doesn't even reach 900000+ sales unit like 2Pacalypse Now.
Tupac made 2Pacalypse Now at the age of 19
Eminem made Infinite at the age of 25
Money B talkin bout 2pacalypse Now took 15 years to go gold? False.
The album was certified gold on April 19, 1995. It took 4 years.
Walrus Life yes. At least, 2Pacalypse Now didn't flop like Eminem debut album, Infinite where the album still doesn't reach to certificate gold.
He often doesn't know what he's talking about. Also if you peep, he claims he's down with Pac but he be hating on the low. . He's always saying lil slick shit. Seems as if he's jealous & envious if 2Pac. I've noticed his energy is off when it comes to Pac. Atleast it is to me.
That's 2Pac best album to me!
its a good album, but its not his best work. Makaveli, Me against the world are his best pieces. Still I Rise was great for a posthumous album. Same with Better Dayz.
Strickly for my n is better
+john doe
All Eyez On Me , Me Against The World and Makaveli are one of the best Hip Hop albums in my opinion
i love it but my fave is me against the world.
Me against the world was better.
anyone catch the name of the female singer on brendas gotta baby? imo, her and dave hollister were like the icing on the cake for that track, the singing they added was goddamn powerful. that, with pacs gritty-but-realistic verse and a depressing beat is what makes that track one of pacs best
After 2pacalpse Now and Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z, Pac became my favorite rapper. I love both of them joints.
2pacalyse now was actually BETTER than Ice T power album so it just goes to show how fucking HARSH & BRUTAL that industry really is....
One of my favourite albums. Along with strictly for my ninjas
Sons of the P is such a dope album so is 2pacalypse Now
Rip Shock G
Rip 2pac
Heartbeat props Money B
Thank god the Lil 1/2 Dead theory was put to rest with this interview..
Flop? That shit is a classic! To this day 2pac and Ab-Soul are the only hip-hop artists, I wanna hear spoken word from.
LIBryda at least 2Pacalyose didn't flop like Eminem album, Infinite.
I grew up during that time and it did flop. It didn't move the units it was projected to. Something can flop and still be a classic.
2pacalypse Now>>>>> Strickly 4 My Niggaz.... Pac's flow was on top, his lyrics were hardcore revolutionary, very political etc...One of his best album in my view!
We need a Shock G interview!!
The reason Tupac first album didn't do well because at that time West Coast artists had west coast beats and the East Coast artists had East Coast beats each coast had their own sound when Tupac dropped his album it had no coastal sound the beats didn't sound like the west coast or the east coast
Can’t stop spinnin this record
"Tupac Go Head and Rock This"!
I don't know why this album never done good at the time of release, Trapped/When my homie calls/ Brendas got a baby are all hot songs. I actually listen to this album quite a bit and love it.
2Pacalypse Now, is an amazing album, it inspired a kid in texas to shoot a police officer-which brought Tupac a lot of attention from law enforcement.
first time i seen, or knew bout money b, was brendas got a baby video where he rappin next to pac
Pac and ray luv wrote trapped,Pac wrote two versus on it.
district lump Right, he has written for Ray luv as well
derrick howard jr yup that's true,Pac was a great writer
Actually Ray Luv threw the song in the garbage and Pac went and got it out the trash
So people come at drake for not writing but pac gets a pass? On one his most popular joints?
Which is crazy ,, because that album was fire 🔥
Tupac first album was just his debut as a solo artist….flopped bad but he still kept grinding
Whole album was dope one of my faves is violent 🔥 “ just because we play what the ppl want” ....... freaks of the industry from digital had a sick azz smooth beat and my boy money killed it lol
2pacalypse Now was to ahead of its time, the words and message went over dumb drunk and get high idiots heads, the album was a Revolutionary Soundtrack
His first album is a gem i bought as a bootleg as a kid . Only because i couldnt afford the real one. I didn't care for strictly
Don Wan aye fuck you don
Vlad needs to interview TONY PIZARRO he was the producer for Dear Mama Song.
2pac also wrote for for Ray luv as well
Just because a album doesn’t sell a lot, doesn’t mean 😢 it flop. Look at how long it took Jay and Nas first album to go platinum. And their albums was s3-5 years after Pac debute album. Hiphop was maturing a lil
this guy said if you hear a tupac song you always hear random people, i dont think they where random, most of pacs songs are solo anyway
2pacalypse now went gold in 1995
Yall he said "" I may not change the world ,but I guarantee I'll spark the brain that will one day change the world and he has after death. So many songs can relate to the world today and 4 years to come.r .i.p.pac u was n is the greatest n no one should ever b on his level cus no one can touch him .I hate how others say I'm the next tupac.those r some big ass shoes n can't no one fill them.pac will 4ever be the best and greatest at his craft no one can touch his legacy. No one.not now .not ever
Vlad, your research team failed you. He questions Money B. about the song "Same Song" and talks about it wasn't a mega-hit , Money B. replies "it went gold".
Crazy how it flopped but it got alot of attention and was controversial
