2pac's debut album is an excellent introduction to the complex personality of his that he masterfully expressed throughout his career. The anger ("I Don't Give a Fuck"), the despair ("Trapped") and the changes around him ("If My Homie Calls"); it's all there. The highlight is of course though "Brenda's Got a Baby"- a tale about a young girl who becomes unexpectedly pregnant and how that situation affects everyone. The song proved 2pac was wise beyond his years and on a level that exceeded many of his contemporaries. The depth of his writing and his passionate delivery made him one of the most compelling figures in all of music and there were signs of those qualities as early his first release which dropped when he was only twenty years old.
