Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
The late Tupac Shakur's second album recalls the densely sampled sonic strengths of Public Enemy's Fear of a Black Planet, except here the bass lines are cranked and the sly samples tend to the gentler touches of Motown and Curtis Mayfield than James Brown. This contrast between hard and soft is appropriate because Shakur is as likely to sweetly honor black sisters ("Keep Ya Head Up") as he is to get angry in your face. Consequently, even with guest spots including the Ices Cube and T., 2Pac's strong raps remain this joint's real shining star. --David Cantwell

Improvement from the debut.......2007-04-10

But still not on classic level. On the lyrical side Pac spits flames throughout the album. But for me it doesn't match up to other albums such as Me Against The World and of course All Eyez On Me. So it gets a 4 stars, meaning its well worth listening to.

The album kicks off with the venomous "Holler If Ya Hear Me" Pac gives 3 verses of pure fire with a very hypeful beat. "Pac's Theme" is an interlude with Tupac responding to then vice president "Dan Qualye". "Point Tha Finga" is more fire. Pac hits hard about the media and other things. I Love "Something 2 Die 4" its definitely my favourite interlude ever. Pac talks in his soulja's voice over a very relaxing beat. "Last Wordz" keeps the venom going but this time he collabrates with none other than Ice-T and Ice Cube. All of them drop excellent verses. "Souljah's Revenge" is another of my favourites with more of Pac's soulja voice. "Peep Game" has a very interesting beat with a nice guest appearance. "Strugglin" featured mostly the live squad and most of them did a good job (though certainly not spitting on par with Pac) "Guess Who's Back" is similiar though a solo with only 2 verses. "Representin 93 is another standout which should have been a single. "Keep Ya Head Up" is the best on the album hands down! One of Pac's most brilliant recordings ever. "Strictly 4 my niggaz" was a very long song with a kind of a darkish beat and hook. "The Streetz Of Death Row" definitely should have been a single. Pac spits 3 verses of pure fire about the streetz. "I Get Around" takes us to Pac's play full side. With a nice laidback beat Pac and The Digital Underground spit some nice verses about having fun. "Papa'z Song" is another venomous song. Pac talks about fathers leaving their children. "5 Deadly Venomz" is a magnificient way to end the album. The beat is full of hype and and Pac and The Live Squad again hit hard.

A KID'S REVIEW.......2007-04-08

Well to say it this is the best cd i have heard in a long time.he is very focesed and the best songs on the cd is keep ya head up,souljah's revenge.

Best Pac Album.......2006-12-02

Ok Ok, I know alot of people will disagree with me on that seeing most people say that about say All Eyez On Me or Me Against The World. But this album is just incredible. Pac was at his pinnacle with lyrical skills and dropped some sick rhymes while the hard hitting beats fitted the lyrics perfectly. There are some seriously good songs on here with my favourite, Keep Ya Head Up. Thats my favourite ever...period. I just simnply love that song. Other classic joints are - Last Wordz, Holler If Ya Hear Me, I Get Around, Papa'z Song, The Streetz R Death Row, 5 Deadly Venomz, Peep Game and more. Yes and I see people knocking the production, the production rulz. The beats aren't supposed to be like the smooth g funk of albums like The Chronic. As I said before, this album is full of hype. Absolutely love it, if you want a hard hitting rap record than check out this. You won't regret it. Peace

Production sounds dated ?.......2006-09-15

A lot of these reviewers are saying the production on Pac's Strictly 4 My Niggaz sounds dated. Production sounds classic if you ask me and that's mainly why this is my favorite Pac album of all time. Just because there's scratching involved in the hooks instead of some r&b group singing the chorus does not make it dated ,it makes it real hip-hop and the beats on this album are the hardest beats to come out of any Pac album. Shout out to all the producers who produced this album. Man back in the days when this album came out it used to get more play than even "The Chronic" which more or less was out around that time.

Pac just got better with every album before his post death releases. .......2006-08-19

2pac once again dropped another classic in 1993. THe man got better with time starting off with his debut 2pacalypse Now, then this, Me Against The World, and his amazing classic All Eyez On Me which you can't get much better on a whole album. This album Strictly for My N***** showed many different sides to Pac such as pissed off sides to him in songs such as Holla if Ya Hear Me and Papa'z Song. Other sides to him were soft for his friends and women in Keep Ya Head Up, Representin' 93, and Strictly for My N*****. The lyrics Pac spit were amazing and had point to them. I feel 2pac got better with every album leading up to his death except Thug Life. 2pacalypse Now had some amazing songs such as Brenda's Got a Baby and good tracks like If My Homie Calls. Strictly for My N***** a little more commercial had many different types of songs from soft sides such Keep Ya Head Up to pissed off sides such as Holla If Ya Hear Me. Me Against the World another classic Pac showed more softer and meaningful songs to follow up from Strictly. And then his Death Row debut All Eyez on Me which basically owned in 96 was absolutely his best album and you can't get any closer to a perfect album such as that. Anyways Strictly showed some great lyrics and was no sophmore slump. If you see this in a record store don't forget to pick it up.
