The emergence of Tupac
, May 25, 2003Reviewer: Christian A - See all Christian A's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. review helpful This CD put Pac on the map. It is a classic. Riddled with positivity and awareness that modern hip hop has been robbed of. Every track is potent. -
Second album by Tupac Shakur
, July 7, 2006Reviewer: kevy_4_life - See all kevy_4_life's reviewsPros: Good lyrics and a few outstanding songs
Cons: Weak cast and slightly dated production
Tupac Shakur's second album was released about year after his first and during 1992 he would witness the results of 2pacalypse Now and how it would effect his music. Dan Quayle who had spoken out against the record after the brutal shooting of a cop by an influenced youth brought trouble to Shakur by turning him into public enemy #1 when it wasn't intentional.
His second album Stricly 4 My NIGGAZ picks of where it last left and this time he is more focused and knows what to do. It's more different this time than 2pacalypse Now, there are new producers, new sound and more issues in his songs such as social life and his own life in which he never mentioned in his predecessor. But not all is perfect here, the production is weaker in this album since he does not have Shock-G/Digital Underground (whom which does one song in the album) that appeared in the last album. In some of his songs 2Pac is getting more egotiscal and arrogant which might take away the seriousness from the songs but fortunatly when he's more concentrated he drops some landmarks here like the heartfelt "Keep ya head up" which maybe the best song in the LP and of course "Papa'z Song".
The album starts with a bang "Holla If Ya Hear Me" which is all about standing up to the strong forces and next few songs, "Pac's theme" and "Something 2 Die 4" shows off some great beats in the interludes. Any last werdz is the first major collabrative song and it's not bad, Ice-T is slightly off but you would have consirded just Cube whom of which was an influenec to Pac.
After that in the mid of the album there are some off moments such as "Soulja's Revenge" which is very dissapointing to the superb "Soulja's Story Part 1" on 2pacalypse Now. The album is soon saved by "Guess Who's Back?" which is an awesome song and some great music in it. Representin '93 is another bomb which really gets you going. We get to hear "Keep Ya head Up" which is powerful track aimed at women showing how sympathetic he is. Soon afterwards we dance to "I Get Around" which is a hot track on the album where Shock-G does some nice work on it, props to him. Papaz song is quite good but he doesn't need a few collbarators in the song and Strictly 4 my Niggaz ends with the weak song "5 Deadly Vemonz" which is very dull.
A nice second album by 2Pac but needed better production, collabarations were slightly off here as well as a few of the songs and if more concentrated we could have heard a landmark album here. ...

Pro Reviews: Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Fulfilling much of the promise showcased on 2Pac's debut album a year earlier, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. offers a wealth of thoughtful moments such as "Keep Ya Head Up" yet still makes plenty of room for good-time celebrations such as "I Get Around." These two hits in particular make Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. a noteworthy, if sometimes overlooked, moment amid 2Pac's cluttered catalog. They also represent the two approaches 2Pac initially took with his music, emphasizing his thoughtfulness (another insightful highlight being "Papa'z Song") rather than the thuggishness so often associated with him, particularly in the wake of his death. A few notable West Coast rappers join the festivities here -- Ice Cube and Ice-T on "Last Wordz" and Digital Underground on "I Get Around" -- but 2Pac unfortunately doesn't have any notable producers to support him, as the quickly dated production stands as the album's only potential drawback. Not quite as remarkable as 2Pac's following two masterpieces, Me Against the World (1995) and All Eyez on Me (1996), Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. nonetheless merits acknowledgement, particularly in relation to the string of posthumously released Makaveli-era recordings littering his catalog. - Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide |
