People often refer to this album as "its own pedistool" - it's just ranked in its own leauge, and it will always be there.
Heres a few reasons why, in my opinion:
1. This is the best production I have ever heard in any rap album. Period. Not even Dre could come close to something like this. The beats are raw - not overley done - not overley mastered and loud - and are just... raw. Hard. Eerie. Spooky. (Bomb First, Hail Mary, Life of an Outlaw, Against all Odds)
2. The lyrics are just awesome. Imagine "Illmatic" but at a whole new different level. The metaphors in this album are just incrediable (Me and my Girlfriend, Blasphemy). There intese, angry, and poetic at the same time. Makaveli in this first track, our-right calls out rappers. Saying they are phoney, and just need to leave the rap game before he puts them out. This man had honestly no fear. He would go at anyone - they were all fake in his eyes.
3. Like I said earlier in my review - nothing in this album can be reproduced. I have yet to hear any other rapper try to put out something this deep. Oh sure... there are some pretty intelligent rappers out there - but they are not emotionally deep like Pac was. This album was (and probably still is) WAY beyond its time. It was beyonds it time for 2pac, and beyonds it time for hip-hop in general. It's not a popular album. Its not a commercialised album either - Because this is an album that is way ahead of that. It's a personal album, that you have to listen to.
