its like he became a true emcee for this album. i have never even heard every pac album but i have a STRONG feeling that this was the best.
definitely. i've been a huge Pac fan since about 12 years old and it wasn't until i matured that i was able to really appreciate 7 Day Theory, Blasphemy especially. i feel like it's his best album (if not right behind Me Against The World) and he was truly coming full circle as a rapper and a visionary. it's a shame he died right then but maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

i'd do anything for an Outlawz-less version of 7 Day Theory, though.

My favorite song on that album, which happens to be my favorite album from him as well.

LOVE this album, never gets/got old to me. Every time someone brings this album up, I give it a spin. *cue '7 Day Theory' on iPod*
