This is a double 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing of 2Pac's 1991 debut studio album, 2Pacalypse Now. The album comments on contemporary American social issues like racism, police brutality, poverty, black - on - black crime, and teenage pregnancy. It has three singles: 'Brenda's Got a Baby,' 'Trapped,' and 'If My Homie Calls.' Initially released on T.N.T. Recordings and Interscope Records, it was distributed through Eastwest Records America and Atlantic Records. After Shakur's death, Amaru Entertainment (founded by his mother Afeni Shakur) got the album rights. The album caused significant controversy when then - U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle publicly criticized it after Ronald Ray Howard murdered a Texas state trooper and his defense attorney claimed he was influenced by the album's strong police - brutality theme. Quayle said, 'There's no reason for a record like this to be released. It has no place in our society.'
Using this vinyl album is simple. Just place it on a turntable, gently drop the needle on the start of the record, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints or dirt on it, which can affect the sound quality. Store the album in a cool, dry place and keep it upright to prevent warping. Also, be careful when removing and replacing the album cover to avoid any damage to the record.
