    I’m sure I’m the only one that will pick “Life Goes On” but that song helped me when my best friend passed away. It’s a tribute song without being too specific so almost anyone can relate it to their own life.

    I don’t play it as often as some other tracks, but that only makes its impact on me that much stronger.

    Damn a real 2PAC fan couldn’t ever pick… Pac had emotional music one second this song is all that matters, the next its something else… He was an artist that made the soundtrack to life. RIP PAC…

  • these posts are racist

    RIP, the greatest rapper ever.

  • that nigga

    Made Niggaz: Hottest song ever. Dont even know if it made this list?

    • that nigga

      Didnt make the list??? I voted for Tradin’ War Stories….Closes thing to Made Niggaz.

    WideAwake Ent. wont have to worry about money anymore if they just release a Pac CD. Disc One OGs Disc Two Remixes (Just Blaze, Premier, etc.)

  • M. Baby!

    The best 2Pac song of all time…dang, that’s hard to choose just one. Ummmmm, I’ll go with “Dear Mama.” The impact that song had was ridiculous. Everyone loved that song. Honorable mention, “Keep Ya Head Up”

    I love pac. My fav joints gotta be “only god can judge me”, Lost souls”, “Made Niggaz”, “R U Still Down (the version with no jon b)”, only fear of death”, “they dont give a fuck about us”. Pretty much his whole catalogue is timeless. Its crazy that things he said still apply 20 years later.

  • E-Man

    damn xxl, how you skip “Me Against The World”
    the lyrics on that song moves me everytime I hear it
    you can’t really pick a favorite pac song though

  • NAPTOWNNUISANCE

    Violent was hard too, the bass line will punish your speakers.Starin through my rearview another hot one.

      Damn…I’m sorry for your loss. I think that’s a testament to the music – that so many people from so many different backgrounds can feel and relate to it.

    Man the version of how long will they mourn me that xxl has on here i have never heard and it doesnt sound nearly as good as the album version for some reason.

  • J-P

    Unconditional love hands down thats his deepest song 2 me personally im gonna have that played when i pass…but overall all his songs are timeless…but my favorite albums are me against the world and makaveli….

    R.I.P. PAC’
    AND HAPPY 39TH BRO’ ENJOY IT FROM THUGZ MANSION

    RIP TUPAC-Love U 4 LIFE!!!
    My favorite song is all of them-TUPAC has so many classics who can really pick just one. Man all of his hits made you feel his every word. From the “street classics” to the “club bangers” to the “feel good about your people” hits – I love them all.
    Miss you much Tupac-tear………

    no brainer for me: Pain!…kind of shocked its actually winning but good to see im not the only one. That 3rd verse was incredible for the passion in his voice alone. Hellrazor is close second for me.

  • Caino

    I,m loving al the love thats on the net from PAC fans, alot of love coming from the fact that on alot of levels we connected with him, I grew up on tu-pac, he’s a poet warrior in these fucked up times and you know his words comfort ya, he understood the shit that certain kids and families go through, love you PAC.
