Best songs of Tupac Amaru Shakur




Also known as 2pac, Makaveli. This is about 2Pac's best songs in ascending order. It is easy to get best 10 or 100 songs of him but very hard to order.

The below list is not taken from "Greatest Hits" collections of Tupac. It is purely personal opinion. People may have different opinions.

1. So many tears -  All Eyez On Me

Please Don't see the song video just hear the music alone. Fantastic rap music with syncing lyrics like bread and butter. Till end of the line of the lyrics he kept the fire. I cant remember this without that mouth organ between the verses.

"Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest
until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest"

He described everything in two lines that is why i call this is the best lyrics of him.

2. Unconditional Love - All Eyez on Me 

" it's hard to live this life without God, so we must ask forgiveness"

Lyrics straight out of the heart. He is recollecting incidents from childhood memories and tell to be positive towards future. He does not roar hear but very silently rapping and i think it is his slowest song ever.

3. Me Against the world - Me Against the world



[Girl:] Oooohhh, oooohhh
[2Pac:] Nuttin to lose...It's just me against the world baby

He said the phrase "Me against the world" and "I got nothing to lose" with lyrics and incidents suits the title. I like the female version and the way she sings especially when she ends the song. I agree Music here bulges over song but it is great.

4. Do For Love - R U Still Down ?

Very different one from 2pac. This is one of the best 2pac song that is least noticed. But i feel a sadness through out the song. Good bgm. Loved the verse of Eric Williams who bridges the portions of rap.

5. I Ain't Mad At Cha -  All Eyez on Me 

Attracted by the similarity of the real life incident happens to 2pac. Many things it is like a prophecy of his own climax of the life. So i like the video of this song too. BGM and Lyrics is the hero. In the first verse he was blasting with lyrics 2Pac rhyme can also be seen here. 

6. Dear Mama - Me Against the world

Talking about his mother, Afeni Shakur, and her sufferings. Lyrics is the one that brings this song to top. If you like 2pac's real life then you will definitely like this one also. It is an example of reality rap.


7. Hail Mary - The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory

One of the most widely heard 2pac song after his death. Music and Pac styled rapping is clearly seen here. Verses from Outlawz is also good.


8. Keep Ya Head Up - Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.

Very nice song. It seats away from other songs of 2Pac. 2Pac shows emotion towards Latasha Harlins. This is the first song i heard from 2Pac. The Bgm is projected over other than anything. And the crowd chorus "Keep Ya Head" is very nice between the verses. Here in this song you can see old 2Pac's rap.

9. If My Homie Calls - 2Pacalypse Now

No violence or no negative stuffs in the lyrics. Clear one loved the style of rapping. Very nice song. He talks more about his happiest moments. Good rhyme. It is from his debut album and so the yougest one.

10. Thugz Mansion - Better Dayz

I mention the acoustic version because this song will live without the help of BGM. I think it is done so that it needs more projection to lyrics. The vocal variations when he becomes emotional can be seen here very clearly. Feat Naz, the verse begin from "Every coooorner every ciiity.." is very nice.


I am Jayakrishnan PM, i love and listen music in all forms. I love hip hop songs very much and i don't care the language or incidents they describe through the songs. I believe that music is the one crosses all kind of borders and music is one of the best instrument to influence the human mind.

This article is about songs of  world famous rapper 2pac. I remember the the time when i see him for the first and it is through a music stage performance album CD of 50cent. But i had heard about 2pac even before i see him in CDs. Rappers like 50cent and Eminem used to refer the word in their lyrics. So i began to notice the name '2pac'.

When i see him he was a small black man with bald head. The bald head was the thing that stroke me at that time and he was performing with Snoop Dogg at somewhere in western part of USA. I thought why this bald headed man is being so dominating rapper like Snoop ? I think i had already said you the reason.
