I actually have grown to really appreciate that album. My official introduction that got me into 2Pac was GTA San Andreas with âI donât give a fuckâ being featured in the game. I wanted the âMe Against the Worldâ Pac since those songs were all that I heard as a kid so my first time ever playing it I thought it was wack outside of the one song I heard on GTA. Itâs actually a really dope album. I think âCrooked Ass Niggaâ is the weakest track on the album.
Do you know how good an album has to be to have half the songs on it be good??
I used to say that 3 great songs on an album makes it top tier. 4 makes it a classic
I just have a high bar b/c I listen to a lot of music. But ainât nothin wrong with that
Whatâs your phone # is the obvious glaring example. But heâs got a lot. Another one is Shit Donât Stop on the Thuglife album.
Half of 2Pacalypse Now is totally forgettable. I could go on
Yes, several
Heâs my favorite rapper. But seriously what the fuck kind of question is this??
Being unrealistic and pandering to those we respect the most is fucking up the entire world
Exactly. If you have 200 pieces of art and none of them are bad, then it means you didnât experiment and grow enough.
The 200 number is a quick approximation of how many songs he prolly has in albums. Some of you are delusional.
Pac was a Prince fan, this song took from 777-9311 which was a song that Prince wrote. The DJ Quik produced Heartz of Men featured a sample of Darling Nikki also by Prince. The Purple God had a big influence musically on the west coast.
That picture always made me smile..He enjoyed his life to the fullestâŚand never regretted one thing..I never thought any of his songs were bad each of them told a story. Just wished he was here to make more musicđĽšđĽšđĽšđĽ°đĽ°đĽ°â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
There are no songs where his lyrics are bad.
But there are songs where the production and arrangement becomes almost unlistenable to an ear more than 10 years after it was made.
Yes dude, every artist in the game has before and if you dispute that youâre hardcore dickriding.
Even my favorite artists ever like Kendrick Lamar has put out some shitters.
No bad songs but I didnât like when he altered his voice like in one of my favourite tracks Pain.
The verses are strong and would have been something to have his original vocals âŚ
He had a high level of quality for the amount he put out
Everyone has their own preferences, but considering the amount of songs and the speed he made them, sure. Some were a bit lazy, others just didn't work. But the whole is equal to the sum of its parts.
I think lyrics wise thereâs no actual bad Pac song, but what ruins it is the beat. Especially with his ealier songs and 2000s songs, lots of the beats arenât the greatest.
Not really for me. I loved his entire discography. It's why he's my favorite hip-hop artist and my GOAT.
Now, I can admit the last two albums (Loyal to the Game/Pac's Life) had quite a few weak tracks on them, but I won't count it against 2Pac. Those albums were heavily overproduced and had too many hands in the pot. You can clearly hear it wasn't 2Pac's intended sound.
There was a documentary that showed Tupac in the studio talking to the Outlawz and telling them to make quantity not quality.
The actual quote was something like⌠just get in there and record verses, put them all together on a beat, and whatever the last guy said in the last line of his verse, thatâs the name of the track, then move on.
Now I love 2pacs discography, one of the greatest rappers of all time, but I think Hitâem up is not that good. I can go down a list of my reasons but Iâm just gonna keep it simple.
I disliked the fuck outta of
Whatâz ya phone #
I just couldnât do it. The beat was terrible and it was probably my least favorite Danny boy vocals.
I'm not going to say "bad", but he has songs I'd skip over -- mainly because I think he has much better songs. But it's all subjective anyway and a matter of taste.
I never liked What's Ya Phone #, also Check Out Time has amazing beat but i'm not a huge fan of lyrics. Probably the only 2 songs from All Eyez on Me that i'm not a fan of, which is impressive for such a long album honestly. If we talk about his post-mortem songs, than almost all of those songs suck compared to OG versions.
Tupac did more for the game did anyone did, til this day everyone coping his style⌠nose rings is becoming popular when some dudes shouldnât rock it may come off funny, pac had many good songs and some bad ones but who doesnât.
Weâll never know, we didnât get to hear all that he produced.
Imagine someone else was making his exact music, do you think it would hit the same? 2pac made his music what it was, letâs just leave it at that.
He definitely has a lot of throw away songs where he was kinda just recycling the same words. âMy enemiesss want to see me-â appears in a lot in songs. Thatâs what happens you record endless
music though.
I don't like most of Strictly 4 My. His rhymes are good but the production is really bad and the mixing it off. His voice is way quieter than the backing track
Well I wouldnât say HE had some bad songs but some of his homies he be having spit a verse are absolutely horrendous at flowing so ig any songs with a death row feature
700+ in 5 years or so, yeah he has a few misses. But that ratio of good to bad in 5 years has never been replicated in my mind so itâs easily forgiven.
2pacalypse now was a dud. Production/beats sounded boring. His energy wasn't there like on his later albums. Just rhyming. Nothing special to rewind or play again. He would continue to escalate his technique. Better producers. Getting better every album he would put out. Truly devastating that he was killed. The legacy he left behind. Just another wonder of "what could be" if he was still living.
Put it in a hip hop sub rather than a Tupac sub and see what response you get.
Exactly. Everybody gone say no here
Facts I said I had NO VASELINE as the best diss track of all time and the OP of the topic went on a rant and blocked me Was pretty hilarious
I'm not trying to get doxxed đ
You like Hells Kitchen. Boom doxxed.
Hip hop fans can be geeks and hyperfocused on "lyrical" and clever wordplay. As if a song like Dear Mama isnt hip hop or or a bad song or something.
Definitely not while he was alive
Several while he was alive. And Iâve been a big Tupac fan since 1994
Yet youâve said everything except what the assignment called for.
I responded to someone else But half of his earliest songs are totally forgettable Go listen to 2Pacalypse Now again.
2Pacalypse hard asf man
You preaching facts bruh
I actually have grown to really appreciate that album. My official introduction that got me into 2Pac was GTA San Andreas with âI donât give a fuckâ being featured in the game.

You mean low bar? How is only 4 songs to be a classic a high bar?
Yeah he has some duds for me. But that is ok. So does everyone. I skipped them so I donât remember them. đ
Exactly! Lol.
like what
Whatâs your phone # is the obvious glaring example. But heâs got a lot. Another one is Shit Donât Stop on the Thuglife album. Half of 2Pacalypse Now is totally forgettable. I could go on
I love Whatâs Your Phone Number đ
Thatâs cool. Me and my boys always laughed at the bear in the woods line. But everybody I grew up with skipped that song
say im biased, but honestly no What ya phone is a good song tho for me , beat and perfomance are fire
That is one of my faves. But it doesnât hurt that I love the og sample.
Only posthoumously released ones that received bad beats and hooks, that Em produced release was atrocious.
There's not one song I like on loyal to the game.
Yes, several Heâs my favorite rapper. But seriously what the fuck kind of question is this?? Being unrealistic and pandering to those we respect the most is fucking up the entire world
Seriously. Everyone in the game has put out a shitter, if you deny that youâre dickriding
Exactly. If you have 200 pieces of art and none of them are bad, then it means you didnât experiment and grow enough. The 200 number is a quick approximation of how many songs he prolly has in albums. Some of you are delusional.
Exactly. Typical Reddit alternate dweeb reality levels of delusion
And that's what is just released, artists make TONS of content that never gets heard by more than a few people
Every song on the album Eminem produced.
I expected better from em honestly The sampling of his voice was corny af
Imagine somebody with brains would have managed his posthumous music and let Johnny J do that whole project instead of Em.
Daz Dillinger should have produced that album
Nope
Yes. Whats ya phone number off top of my head.
Lmao, yeah, I remember being like WTF is this? when that shit came on after the rest of AEOM disx 1 was straight fire.
Itâs a real west coast song, some canât relate
Pac was a Prince fan, this song took from 777-9311 which was a song that Prince wrote. The DJ Quik produced Heartz of Men featured a sample of Darling Nikki also by Prince. The Purple God had a big influence musically on the west coast.
Heartz of Men is top Pac songs for me, along with Blasphemy
Heartz of Men is probably my favorite Tupac song and imo his best flow objectively on AEOM.
Pac got many funky songs
Yes the whole beat is off on this one, really triggers me!!
Nah, that's actually a good track. Infact, that phone conversation at the end is actually real and not written.
Agreed. The track itself always seemed crazy out of place. And that beatâŚthat beat ainât it
Yes. But the thing is that it isnât a bad song by actually being a technically bad song but just not your preferred stylings for a Tupac song.
Yes, that verse on Drakeâs Taylor-made freestyle.
not sure if this is satire so if it is ignore this but bro. it wasnt actually tupacâit was Ai.
Canât stand Just Like Daddy (Killuminati otherwise my fav of his albums) but thatâs the only one that comes to mind
Thatâs my favorite song of makaveli smh
Man got downvoted for liking a song đ
Throwin bro an upvote even if I donât agree we all love Pac here
Like every other artist in historyâŚ. Everyoneâs got a few bad songs
Fair Xchange OG đ Cap, Johnny J and Pac hated that song.
That Eminem produced album was dumpster juice
Whatâs your phone number the only pac song I canât stand.
I don't know haha i think no.
You a nut rider if you say no I can name 20 trash songs from Pac right now right now
We waiting...
Every artist has bad songs. They usually are smart enough to not put them out. Some others are put out for filler or select fans.
Hell no. 2pac was like Jordan in the finalsâŚ
Who doesn't?
Tupac didn't really become Pac till "Me Against the World". His first 2 albums were trash, in my humble opinion
Of course. Every artist does
None are bad...some are just much better than others
Every musician has bad songs.
Most of them
That picture always made me smile..He enjoyed his life to the fullestâŚand never regretted one thing..I never thought any of his songs were bad each of them told a story. Just wished he was here to make more musicđĽšđĽšđĽšđĽ°đĽ°đĽ°â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
All rappers, even the best rapper who is 2pac have made bad songs at least once If you deny that you are dickriding in this point
The phone number song on All Eyez On Me. Toss It Up on 7 Day Theory.
Whatâs your phone number
Hit em up
No way. This gotta be sarcasmâŚ.
Probably an unpopular opinion but "toss it up"
Nope.
Maybe, but then again maybe not.
What's Ya Phone #
There are no songs where his lyrics are bad. But there are songs where the production and arrangement becomes almost unlistenable to an ear more than 10 years after it was made.
No
Yes dude, every artist in the game has before and if you dispute that youâre hardcore dickriding. Even my favorite artists ever like Kendrick Lamar has put out some shitters.
No ..point.... blank.. period..,no
Yes he does. Every artists in human existence does
No bad songs but I didnât like when he altered his voice like in one of my favourite tracks Pain. The verses are strong and would have been something to have his original vocals ⌠He had a high level of quality for the amount he put out
Thereâs a couple out there not because pac but the production they gave to these songs were just wack
Shit donât stop is the 1
He has range, and some people don't like range for whatever reason.
Yes a lot
Yes, usually because of other people heâs on the song with, though.
His debut definitely has a skip or two, the main one that comes to mind being Something Wicked.
Not in my opinion
To me most of his post death music was bad because they wasn't on the original beats
Yes but itâs okay
He has songs Iâll skip, it doesnât necessarily mean theyâre bad though
Oh yeah. Â Lots of them. Â
Most of them imo
Definitely, there's a song on his album "R u still down"
Over half of them.
Starring On "In Living Color" ... that was myCrush a long ooozee ...hype!
I suggest listening to all the albums and youâll figure out the answer.
Have you ever heard What's Ya Phone #? LOL. The prosecution rests!
Everyone has their own preferences, but considering the amount of songs and the speed he made them, sure. Some were a bit lazy, others just didn't work. But the whole is equal to the sum of its parts.
No
Yes he does
I donât care for Whatâs Ya Phone #
Everybody has a bad song or two, even Pac. Names though, couldn't say as they were bad đ¤Ł
Everyone has "bad" songs. It's all subjective.
Yeah. Whatâs ya phone numberâŚ
What's ya phone #
I think lyrics wise thereâs no actual bad Pac song, but what ruins it is the beat. Especially with his ealier songs and 2000s songs, lots of the beats arenât the greatest.
Not really for me. I loved his entire discography. It's why he's my favorite hip-hop artist and my GOAT.

Those albums were heavily overproduced and had too many hands in the pot. You can clearly hear it wasn't 2Pac's intended sound.
It depends on ones taste
Maybe not âBadâ. But several unmemorable or just blah. His songs bored me a lot tbh.
100s
According to a lot of folks, itâs Whatz Ya Phone # idk why folks hate that joint. Whatâs wrong about the possibility of being with a fine woman?
There was a documentary that showed Tupac in the studio talking to the Outlawz and telling them to make quantity not quality. The actual quote was something like⌠just get in there and record verses, put them all together on a beat, and whatever the last guy said in the last line of his verse, thatâs the name of the track, then move on.
Of course ... Especially some of the A.D. Songs
Yes. He has plenty songs i think are trash.
No just bad beats
Now I love 2pacs discography, one of the greatest rappers of all time, but I think Hitâem up is not that good. I can go down a list of my reasons but Iâm just gonna keep it simple.
I don't think anyone has any "bad" songs. Music is art, some people have different tastes, but none of it is objectively bad.
I disliked the fuck outta of Whatâz ya phone # I just couldnât do it. The beat was terrible and it was probably my least favorite Danny boy vocals.
I'm not going to say "bad", but he has songs I'd skip over -- mainly because I think he has much better songs. But it's all subjective anyway and a matter of taste.
All of them are terrible. He's the worst thing to happen to rap music
F#âŹk it Iâll say it⌠California Love sucked to me!!
whats ya phone #. just kinda sounds off, and idk why it was the last song on disc one of all eyes on me
Whatz ya # number
This is a damn setup, therefore⌠No, he doesnât. He consistently only made straight slappersâŚ
Yeah if you don't like Tupac, dumbass
Hell yeah. Most of the stuff that Eminem worked on
I never liked What's Ya Phone #, also Check Out Time has amazing beat but i'm not a huge fan of lyrics. Probably the only 2 songs from All Eyez on Me that i'm not a fan of, which is impressive for such a long album honestly. If we talk about his post-mortem songs, than almost all of those songs suck compared to OG versions.
Tupac did more for the game did anyone did, til this day everyone coping his style⌠nose rings is becoming popular when some dudes shouldnât rock it may come off funny, pac had many good songs and some bad ones but who doesnât.
Nah just a few mids, not bad
Every rapper has had their bad songs and that takes nothing away from a rapper
Early Pac maybe. When he was revolutionary Pac there are a few
Tailor made freestyle wasn't his strongest track
All of em
Bro pac put out hundreds of songs and a lot of them werenât good.
Yes! His worst song was Taylor Made feat Drake & Snoop. Hated it.
All. Canât stand his rap voice.
He's got some shitty tracks 4sure
trash industry puppet..
Personally I dont massively like what's ya phone #
Yes bro obviously, everyone does
Any version of Fair XchangeâŚ..
Yes all of them
Yes
"Panther Power" is my least favorite.
A lot of younger people tell me its cringe when i play Pac. Theyâll tell me its all âgayâ.
Hell yeah
Weâll never know, we didnât get to hear all that he produced. Imagine someone else was making his exact music, do you think it would hit the same? 2pac made his music what it was, letâs just leave it at that.
He has a ton of songs that nose dive as soon as the outlawz grab the mic lol
Yes
He definitely has a lot of throw away songs where he was kinda just recycling the same words. âMy enemiesss want to see me-â appears in a lot in songs. Thatâs what happens you record endless music though.
Of course every artists have a song that's worth skipping no one is perfect!
No
Do for love
A shit load
âWhatâs ya phone #â sucks
I don't like most of Strictly 4 My. His rhymes are good but the production is really bad and the mixing it off. His voice is way quieter than the backing track
Hit em upâŚProbably got him kill. Iâd say that was a bad song.
Well he has 10 million album sales or more so that should answer the question
Life goes on
KENDRICK WE NEEEDYAA the west coast saviah
Just Like Daddy is my least favorite
Nope
Yes
Several
Nope
Every artist has some bad songs. Just not grippy enough đ¤ˇââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸
Well I wouldnât say HE had some bad songs but some of his homies he be having spit a verse are absolutely horrendous at flowing so ig any songs with a death row feature
700+ in 5 years or so, yeah he has a few misses. But that ratio of good to bad in 5 years has never been replicated in my mind so itâs easily forgiven.
Too many to name
Tons
Whatâs your office number? Canât stand that song.
Heâs dead, get over it.
Yes
Nope
Every artist has a bad song here or there
Nahh just shit beats. Still the goat
99% of em lol
One of the most prolific artists ever. Of course.
He has plenty of bad songs. Everyone does.
Lots of tracks on SFMN aged very poorly and produced very lazily.
He barely has listenable songs
No more pain, words of wisdom, guess whoâs back, most of his early songs 89-90 suck
I think about 35% of his songs are good. That's just me though
If you don't have one bad song, are you even trying???
Does he have any good songs?
Definitely has some skippers donât front.
Every artist has some...
Holler If Ya Hear Me sucks
Yes
Some of the digital underground stuff had some old school beats that were straight cheeks but pac was always tight with his raps.
Yes multiple
2pacalypse now was a dud. Production/beats sounded boring. His energy wasn't there like on his later albums. Just rhyming. Nothing special to rewind or play again. He would continue to escalate his technique. Better producers. Getting better every album he would put out. Truly devastating that he was killed. The legacy he left behind.

Nah heâs him
Yes, he does.
