We had a group of friends who used to share headphones w the kid in our middle school class who brought this to school when it dropped every morning. Either we didn't have the means to buy the cd or had parents who were advised by white and black sign on the front of the cd case. Couldnt get to school early enough to bump some pac on crappy headphones. First time I remember an album dropping feeling like a momentous event11.32 All Eyez On Me by 2Pac (1996)
There are 2 or 3 celebrity deaths I remember from my early teen years: Kurt Cobain and Tupac. Kids coming to school crying, the gossip of what "really happened", the total shock that ran through the students and the total bewilderment from the teachers who had probably never heard of either. I was a white Catholic school kid from the suburbs, but the themes of loyalty to friends, distrust of authority, anger and hopes for a better world despite being kind of a #### really made a lot of sense for us. Pac isn't the most gifted rapper, he doesn't have a big bag of tricks. His music works because of it's raw authenticity and his total commitment to every track.

I gave multiple thoughts today to not going chalk with the playlist adds. So many worthy adds.Big fan of "The Thing That Should Not Be", too.
I knew what that was going to be before clicking it. One of my favorites.
Let's play a game. If you had to (and you do) pick just 5 albums from the first round (only) that you could take with you on another desert island, what would they be.
Oh, and you can't take your own pick.

Are you following me on Spotify? Just finished listening to this.Ok, no longer waiting on this one:
Built To Spill - Keep It Like A Secret (1999)
Bought this on a bit of a whim when it came out. I was just starting my record collection and was drawn to the cover. I had heard of them, but wasn't really sure what I was getting into. The record store guy gave me a "hell yeah" like we were in the same club now. I brought it home and played it for my roommates, who all have good to great taste in music, and they didn't get it. I was hooked though.

I don't think he has been on since this time yesterday and he is normally a night poster. Maybe at 10 we offer @rockaction the pick.
I will post it later but either I am a #### or my number 2 album is still hanging out there on obvious island. I've listened to it a ton to make for itI would love to hear your top 5 from other rounds
"Carry the Zero" was the one that first hooked me. Pretty sure it was you who took it in the '90s mixtape draft.Ok, no longer waiting on this one:

I've heard Bomani Jones argue on occasion that it's hard to have a "who's better" discussion with Pac fans because it goes beyond his rapping skills to them - and even beyond his music, period. It's about Pac as an entity. And yeah, that definitely stems from his passion and the way he put himself out there.11.32 All Eyez On Me by 2Pac (1996)
There are 2 or 3 celebrity deaths I remember from my early teen years: Kurt Cobain and Tupac. Kids coming to school crying, the gossip of what "really happened", the total shock that ran through the students and the total bewilderment from the teachers who had probably never heard of either. I was a white Catholic school kid from the suburbs, but the themes of loyalty to friends, distrust of authority, anger and hopes for a better world despite being kind of a #### really made a lot of sense for us.

He's also requested to be on skip. I'm pretty sure he meant permanently, too. That's sort of how he does.I don't think he has been on since this time yesterday and he is normally a night poster. Maybe at 10 we offer @rockaction the pick.

For sure. I am not a die hard 2Pac fan or anything but he has a presence and an attitude that trumped any technical skills other rappers had. He was just so raw. He spoke about some really deep things in such a blunt manner but was also a thug. It's the contradictions of him that are so interesting.I've heard Bomani Jones argue on occasion that it's hard to have a "who's better" discussion with Pac fans because it goes beyond his rapping skills to them - and even beyond his music, period.

Makes sense. I just didn't see it so I don't want to agitate anyone. I am sure CIA would be cool with us moving ahead though.He's also requested to be on skip. I'm pretty sure he meant permanently, too. That's sort of how he does.
I'm up with the pick, anyway. I won't be sniping him with this one.
