all eyes are on this rappers welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 2 pock
songs for this list we’ve chosen our
entries based on a combination of the
artists fan favorite and their most
commercially successful songs number 10
ambitions as a writer is probably one of
the only rappers who’s known as much for
his sensitivity as he is for his street
cred on all eyes on me opening track
Tupac packs each verse with heat and
showcases the fact that he never forgot
who he was or where his loyalties lay
by drawing the listener in with its raw
and gritty sound Tupac reveals things
haven’t really changed that much despite
his fame
[Music]
number nine all eyes on me as the title
track from his fourth studio album All
Eyez on Me perfectly embraces to Fox
unapologetic love of the subway he spits
fire as he raps about gang banging
getting girls and money and is
unapologetic about claiming to want to
live this way till the day he dies just
can’t help but respect such honesty and
self-awareness in an artist
[Music]
number eight to live and die in LA
significant time there like what every
big Trotter fact now pockets especial
for the cast so it was hard to not even
though he was born in New York to pop
quickly and fully adopted California as
a spiritual birth place limit on the
length Oh
[Music]
this song memorializes his experiences
while growing up in the ghetto of South
Central LA and seeing horrible things in
the naturally beautiful city despite its
problems
Tupac’s skill embraced the region by
showing his lust for Los Angeles as
dress code it’s local rappers
mom-and-pop stores and in the dis song
to end all diss songs Tupac gets
aggressive as he goes for the jugular
and dissing multiple east coast rappers
[Music]
but mainly aims the nasty little track
at his former friend biggie
even opening with a line stating that he
slept with bi girls hit em ups
undeniable rage and raw lyricism are so
undeniable they helped fuel the rapper’s
ongoing feud which came to an end three
months after the songs released due to
Tupac’s death
[Music]
number six Hail Mary it’s eerily fitting
that this was Tupac’s last single before
he was gunned down in 1996
[Music]
in the chorus mixed with a string of
lalala
he asks do you want a ride or die which
gives the song an unsettling effect
[Music]
often played in tribute to the rapper
the five minute track was also a top ten
hits on Billboard’s Hot Rap singles
chart number five how do you want it
[Music]
featuring the vocals of Casey and Jo Jo
this smooth tune serves as a great
example of the heyday of hip-hop and R&B
[Music]
fool what positions on the raps about
growing up in a dog-eat-dog world
he leaves listeners with the impression
that there’s no other way life should be
[Music]
puck the fast lane was the only option
and the preferred one at that for dear
mama this is by far one of two parks
most introspective and heartfelt songs
as it sees him rapping about his
admiration for his mother is to show you
that I’ll understand I appreciate
[Music]
by telling the story of how his mom
struggled to provide for him as a single
parent and kept him off the streets he
became one of the first rappers willing
to express himself on such a personal
level and earned a Hot 100 top ten
[Music]
number three rappers are often accused
of being misogynists and chauvinist but
this song shows that even the hardest
land has a softer side ik ated – an
african-american teenager shot by a
korean store owner keep you head up
functions as a call to action – men of
visible minorities to better treat women
of visible minorities – POC warns
listeners that if things don’t change
it’ll only perpetuate a cycle of hatred
for the future generation
[Music]
got number two changes it’s rare that a
song about racism and police brutality
can still be uplifting but changes is
just that rapping about how things will
never be the same
Tupac samples the 80s hit the way it is
[Music]
it may not have won the Grammy for Best
Rap solo performance it was posthumously
nominated for but the conscious hip-hop
track did earn global success and
charted fairly highly around the world
[Music]
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
number one California law
[Music]
as his first death row records single
California love initially hit the
streets as a double a-side with how do
you want it but then became park’s most
successful track when it topped the
Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in 1996
[Music]
the remix version appearing on all eyes
on me also found popularity with its
electro funk beat smooth rhymes and
laid-back Cali vibe it’s no surprise it
was nominated for two posthumous Grammys
