This was an album that was filled with so much angst and animosity that one had to wonder what his snapping point would be. Gone were the days of social consciousness, Black pride, praising our women, and having gangsta parties on a consistent level. Sure, he was best known for arguably his most successful single ever, вЂњHail MaryвЂќ, this was an album that showed the recklessness and fearlessness of Shakur. This was a noticeably darker, more angry album and with these tracks, along with other tracks like вЂњLife Of An OutlawвЂќ, вЂњBlasphemyвЂќ, and вЂњвЂќWhite ManвЂ™z WorldвЂќ, this was a brutal and, at times, uneasy listen. This album was written, recorded, and mixed within a week and provided some of the most heat seeking moments ever catered on wax.ДЇresh off the most venomous dis record of all-time вЂњHit вЂEm UpвЂќ, this album was filled with very similar cuts such as вЂњBomb FirstвЂќ, вЂњAgainst All OddsвЂќ, and even a dab at Dr. When he tragically died on September 13, 1996, he left behind an AMAZING catalog of songs that would end up on later albums and certainly the famed Makaveli mixtape series. A far cry from the more radio-friendly, commercial smash that his earlier released Diamond-selling mega-smash All Eyez On Me (stay tuned next week for that one), this one went for blood and aimed for the throat upon its release. From Biggie & Puffy to Mobb Deep, Nas, De La Soul, Jay-Z, Haitian Jack, Jimmy Henchman, and more, Pac was clearly tired of playing games. Released before the previously written about RedmanвЂ™s Muddy Waters, this was an all-out assault on all of PacвЂ™s enemies that he had beefs with. This entry belongs to the late, great icon 2Pac, or should I say his alter ego, Makaveli. With that being said, letвЂ™s get on with the next review, and this one could cause a little controversy. Many forget that вЂ™96 was one of the strongest years in all of Hip Hop, and we havenвЂ™t gotten too many years like that since. The 27-track God Level features guest appearances from Rich The Kid, Lil Uzi Vert, and SOB X RBEвЂ™s Yhung T.O, and you can stream the entire thing below.WhatвЂ™s good cats and dogs? Before I begin on this twentieth-anniversary release, let me first give love to those giving me feedback on these reviews and giving those who never got exposed to these albums at the times of their release some exposure to the greatness of these albums. I dont have beef with any rappers especially a fallen legend. I apologize if anything ive done offended you but im myself. вЂњI love u #geehiveрџђќрџђќрџђќ n i will still drop albums til im bacc. But they threw the bait n me being greedy i ate,вЂќ he wrote. I didnt mean to disrespect anyone that did this before me. Greedo later clarified his comments in the caption of a recent Instagram post revealing the cover art for God Level. IвЂ™m a gangsta nigga.вЂќ And in another interview a couple of months later, Greedo said that heвЂ™s вЂњbigger than Tupac.вЂќ

My first major project is called The Wolf Of Grape Street, the gang IвЂ™m from. But nigga, I got to go to court on Friday, I got a whole metal leg, IвЂ™m really from the projects. вЂњTupac sucks,вЂќ he told Billboard in an interview in March. Greedo has a bit of a history with Tupac.

And today, weвЂ™re getting God Level, a new solo album from Greedo himself, which comes with some cover artwork that recreates TupacвЂ™s The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory Makaveli album cover. Next month, weвЂ™re getting Porter2Grape, a collaborative five-song EP with Bay Area rapper Nef The Pharaoh. Before his sentencing, Greedo was recording new material left and right, and he intends to keep releasing it at a steady rate. Tomorrow, heвЂ™s turning himself in to begin serving his sentence.Д«ut that doesnвЂ™t mean that we wonвЂ™t get any more music from him. Less than two months later, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of possession of methamphetamine and a gun stemming from a 2016 traffic stop in Texas.

Los Angeles street-rap weirdo 03 Greedo is one of the most exciting and inventive voices around right now, and he already released one of the best rap albums of the year in March with The Wolf Of Grape Street.
