All Eyez on Me: The Peak of the High Life

Under Death Row, Tupac reached the absolute zenith of his commercial power, releasing hip-hop’s first solo double-album, All Eyez on Me, in February 1996. Alongside his close labelmate and friend Snoop Dogg, he dominated global charts with anthems like 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted and California Love.

He was living life in the fast lane during this peak - operating as the most famous rapper on the planet while simultaneously filming major Hollywood movies back-to-back, including his acclaimed performance in the 1996 production Gridlock'd.
