Details: Product descriptionWatershed 1995 album from the hip hop icon, recorded following his near-fatal shooting in New York! Includes « Dear Mama ». (TUPAC ; 2 PAC ; 2-PAC)Amazon.caThe gruesome details surrounding Tupac’s third solo offering are enough to give any music fan the willies. Released when Tupac was in jail serving time for a rape conviction and just after his recovery from being shot-up gangland-style at a recording studio, this was his most introspective piece of work to date. The heavy-hearted album opens up with a radio commentary describing the circumstances surrounding his shooting, and then plunges headfirst into Pac’s infatuation with death. « So Many Tears, » « Death Around the Corner, » and « If I Die 2Nite » are all dark, eerily prophetic tunes that lend credence to widespread theories which suggest that Pac anticipated his impending death. The perpetually thugged-out wonder reveals a more benevolent side when it comes to gender and family issues. On « Dear Mama »–a fitting tribute to his mother recorded in the »Keep Ya Head Up » vein–Pac takes listeners into the loving recesses of his heart, while on « Can U Get Away, » he echoes similar respectful sentiments to black womynkind. This is probably Pac’s most progressive issues-oriented release before he signed to Death Row and became a full-blown thug.–Dalton Higgins
