What was your first impression of 2pac’s 7 Day Theory album??

[Sccit]

its kind of interesting that the 7 Day Theory track "Hail Mary" got more radio play in NYC than any of the tracks on AEOM...the DJs here were riding with Biggie during the height of the East/West war but once Pac passed they started to play more of his music

makes sense.. east coast cock gobbling never stops. grammys just had a huge hip hop tribute performance with a bunch of artists on stage and only Ice-T was there to represent LA amongst dozens of east coast rappers.

Can you even remember where you were when you heard that planes crashed into the World Trade Center?

crystal clear!

I was only just 7 and since Im from Europe, English is not my primary language. I only got into rap in 97/98 and I kept renting 2pac albums from the local library. As I couldn't understand half the lines he rapped, me too didnt realise what a gem it really was.

Btw, getting into west coast rap at an early age really helped me learn English

That’s dope though that “Hail Mary” got bumped there after Pac passed.  Show what a legend he is and the kind of reach he had.  The song was bigger than the Coast, the beef, than anything.

probably some bitter NY head put the whole thing together

It was questlove from the roots

makes sense

It was questlove from the roots

Questlove is a phony I don't care what anyone says.  isn't he the dude that's on Jimmy Kimmel or some late night show telling everyone to get vaxxed and take their booster?? 

And people take the Roots as some holy grail of conscious hip-hop I was never a fan.  I liked one track they ever did and they didn't really do much on it it was Kenny Chesney "The Seed" that's the one and only thing they ever did that I liked

When I first heard Makaveli, I couldn't quite get my head around it.
It sounded so different to what i've heard before with the unique production style.
I still have difficulty trying to work out where the album should be listened to.
It's not really for the clubs to dance to (bar 1/2 track) and it's not really to ride too either (bar 1/2 track). I find myself listening it through my earphones chilling out.

Having said that, it definitely grew on me and became one of my favourite 2Pac albums. It's very well put together, cohesive sound and flows excellently (eerie and war-type vibe), just about the right length of time too.
The only downside is I sometime find it difficult to understand some of the words (sloppy delivery), other than that, it's a personal classic
