Check out our choices for All Eyez on Me’s five choicest cuts below, and by all means, let us know if you agree or disagree with our selections. This is perhaps 2Pacs best-known song and his most successful, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks (as a double A-side single with 'How Do U Want It') and 12 weeks at number one in New Zealand. Staying with this hypothetical train of thought, we’ve selected the five tracks that we believe would have been imperative, no-brainer additions to the streamlined version of the album. ![]() In retrospect, had 2Pac released All Eyez on Me as a single album with, say, 15 songs, the masterpiece tag would likely never have been in question.
