Tupac was at his best when he was paranoid. I think that this album came out after the sex abuse trial and when he got shot. He put his emotions into those records. I love all of his other albums but this one touches a nerve.
Favorite Songs: Outlaw, Lord Knows, So Many Tears

I remember when Regulate first came out. The main thing about that song that caught my attention is Nate Dogg. He’s is the king of hooks. With Warren G being laid back with his flow , delivery ,and his great production, that song blew me away. That album was great too. This was one of the first tapes my mom bought especially for me. I played the hell out of that album.
Favorite Songs: Recognize, This DJ, What’s Next

Scarface is one of the best rappers of all time in my opinion. He’s a great story teller and this album proved it. I remember my cousin in Cleveland playing this tape for the whole summer back in 94'. I saw an interview for NO Joe. He said that this was the album that really popularized live instrumentation in Hip Hop.
Favorite Songs:Never Seen a Man Die, Jesse James, Hands Of A Dead Body.

Man they’re so underrated as a group. Texas rap gets slept on period. Bun B spit some great verses on this album. Behind Pimp C and NO Joe’s production, you can’t go wrong.
