It's mean-spirited to make me choose between 2Pac songs. I was trying to limit myself to my ten favorite, but I couldn't do it. I could have included ten songs from All Eyez On Me!
So, here's my favorite of my favorites:
•Life's So Hard [from the ridiculously underrated Gang Related soundtrack]
•Never Had a Friend Like Me [Gridlock'd is also underrated, as a soundtrack and as a movie]
•Blasphemy
•Hit 'Em Up (feat. Outlawz) [Still the greatest diss song ever and I'll die on that hill]
•Can't C Me (feat. George Clinton)
•Against All Odds
•Tradin War Stories (feat. Outlawz & C-Bo)
•Keep Ya Head Up
•How Do U Want It (feat. K-Ci & Jo-Jo)
•Only God Can Judge Me (feat. Rappin' 4-Tay)
•I Ain't Mad At Cha (feat. Danny Boy)
•Hail Mary (feat. Outlawz)
•Ain't Hard 2 Find (feat. C-Bo, D-Shot, B-Legit, E-40 & Richie Rich) [This is the most mid-90s Bay Area hip-hop song you can find outside of Luniz]
•I Get Around (feat. Digital Underground) [It was between this and Same Song, but that's more of a Digital Underground song featuring 2Pac instead of the other way around. Same Song has a legendary video, though.]
Too many wakes and funerals full of tears;
You say there's something on your mind, well hey, I'm all ears.
'Cause ain't nobody thinking about the funk that you're choosin' it;
A lot of my homies stuck in the pen for life or losin' it.
