The more I listen to this week the more I think Still I Rise is perhaps Makaveli's greatest record, in some respects its even BETTER than 7 Day Theory, though that may just be how I feel right now, and this may change back in the near future..
The fact that is an obvious reference to Maya Angelou is brilliant for a gangsta rap record because simply put, Maya Angelou is a motherfuckin gangsta!
Letter To The President is a crucial track, raw, blatant, in your face.
Still I Rise is almost like a biography for me, I literally get emotional.
Secretz 2 War is my anthem from the Makaveli bootlegs..
Baby Don't Cry is one of Tupac's most underrated tracks..
As The World Turns is an epic track with a fresh beat and flow.
Black Jezus is one of the best rap songs ever, deeply spiritual reflection.
Homeboyz should have been Tupac's final club song, its too much fun for rap
Hell 4 A Hustla is a great track ruined by this remix cuz the original producer
High Speed is a crucial message, "slow it down baby boy gonna be alright.."
The Good Die Young is one of Tupac's most deeply personal tracks..
Killuminati is the weakest track on this album, but still pretty good.
Tear Drops and Closed caskets feels like the sequel to Live and Die in LA
Tattoo Tears is a crucial reflection on death&dying which is this record theme
U Can Be Touched a reminder of our own limits, weakness, and mortality
Y'all Don't Know Us is also a crucial underground track representing "thugs"
