Most people start with "All Eyez on Me", his peak album with Suge Knight / Death Row Records. If you're into classics like The Chronic, Doggystyle, anything by N.W.A, or other more g-funk oriented albums, this is your starting place.
Otherwise, Me Against The World may tickle your fancy

ME AGAINST THE WORLD is my favorite.

Strictly 4 My Niggaz if you like Public Enemy, the Bomb Squad-sound.

I prefer x-pac.

Chuck D once showed up to raise doubts about Pac's death..

"suge shot me man"

no "man", just "Suge shot me." I forget what it is he really said, though. One of the Outlaws verified it. Allegedly.

the only one i love is 2pacalypse, his debut. his rhymes are absolutely amazing, as he bounces between street thug and street prophet seemingly within the same verse. killer beats. one of the west coast greats, if not the GREAT (granted in this dude's mind, the west coast had nothing on the east coast and never will).

I just enjoy watching him dance in the background of the DOOWHATCHULIKE

"OOOohh! I see guys and girls dancin'!"

and Humpty Dance videos.

Rob, what about his cameo in NOTHING BUT TROUBLE?

didn't 2pacalypse come out when he was still living in NY?

He was talented and involved with criminals. Now he's dead.

yeah. okay.

thanks for your recommendations everybody.

juice.

just.. juice.

^ nice sig, i just hope nobody with a hemophobia visits this board.

shoulda shot me.

man.

2pac is a west coast rapper, stylisticaly and lyrically. where he made that record doesn't matter one fucking bit. this picky shit is the stuff that pisses me off about this board.

Yr on probably the biggest rock nerd forum and you get upset about people being picky? that is funny!

2Pac rhymed as MC NEW YORK with the Digital Underground. no reason to mention it other than it is true.
