2PAC
All Eyes on Me (Death Row/Polygram) 2Pac is out of jail, and in no time at all he has found the time and energy to record his fourth album, a double no less. 2Pac's first two albums were pretty much straight out gangsta rap, however the reality of being shot, beaten badly, and the shock of doing hard time on (he claims false, and I believe him, just read the Vibe interview) sexual assault charges has made him reassess his attitude. He also kicked his weed habit and hooked up with the home of Snoop and Tha Dogg Pound, Death Row Records. Production is taken care of by Dat Nigga Daz, Dr Dre and DJ Quik. With that line-up you’d expect the tracks to be a little more kicking. All these producers are capable of solid tracks but nothing here is far past average. 2Pac, meanwhile, sounds sincere enough, he’s definitely matured, but over a double album the whole thing just drags.
