2PAC Revisited > A Musical Journey
In Honor of the late Tupac Shakur, I will take you on a timeline of the most famous 2pac songs. Due to the extensive catalog of 2Pac, i will try to keep this simple & Sweet. 2Pac has only released 6 studio albums, before his untimely death, the other 5 (+1 coming in 2010/11) albums released are all vaulted material recorded by 2pac, almost as if he knew his was going to die.. Yesterday 2Pac would have turned 41 years old. Can you imagine if he was still alive? Follow me as I take you back in time on 2Pac’s elaborate musical career.

Yes I left out a lot of tracks on purpose, it was only to show you the mainstream singles, from early in his career to now. Would I like to have put Shorty Wanna be a thug, and All Eyez On Me in this post, yes. But those tracks and an arsenal of others are in the noticeable mention category. I would prefer to listen to those rather than the mainstream overall with any type of genre of music.
In retrospect, 2Pac was an amazing artist, along with a slew of other things. His musical ability, and poetic thought process. Nearly paved the way for artists today. Granted yes, it was very unfortunate that 2Pac lost his life at 25 years young. But during his years living, he recorded music to help us to get through the days. Whether it is music to ride to with your boys/girls, or to help out when times are bad, when you think that nobody is going through your situation, and does not understand you. BUT there is. Just put on some music, and let the artist paint the picture, and go on a musical journey.
