The final 2Pac album released during his last album was a start change from his last album Me Against the World (which didn't make the countdown ). While that album saw 2Pac reflective, poignant, and moody, All Eyez On Me shows 2Pac as a hedonistic gangsta who seems to be preparing for andalmost even asking for an early death. With male bravado on 10 and a host of guest rappers and unknown hook singers, the only flaw with this album is its length. It's just too damn long.

Let me start by saying that Kelis is arguably the most underrated female in pop/R&B music. Put her discography toe to toe with that of any pop girl that came out after 1995 and she WILL emerge victorious. Now that that's out of the way, let's get into how her debut album slays from front to back. The production is among the Neptunes' best. Kaleidoscope was one of the first albums to combine elements of R&B, hip hop, and electronica seamlessly. The album still sounds fresh and original, even though the Neptunes have been used to hell in the R&B/hip hop/pop world. This album (and Kelis herself) deserve so much more
