B. Cox and J. Owe take a look back at 2Pac's acclaimed fourth studio album, 1996's All Eyez On Me. It was a double-disc of classic singles and historic album cuts fueled by Shakur's emotions surrounding his recent incarceration and perceived betrayal of those closest to him. He used this classic to take Death Row Records from a top rap label to a pop cultural brand that shot to the top of the industry's consciousness.
