** "I Get Around" has the lines "You ask 'why?' It don't matter / My pockets got fatter / Now everybody's looking for the latter". The last line is a play on the song "The Ladder" ("Everybody's looking for the ladder...") by Music/{{Prince}}, who 2Pac was a big fan of.

'''Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z...''' is the second album by Music/TupacShakur, released on February 16th, 1993.
The album finds 2Pac in a different place than [[Music/TupacalypseNow his debut]], after facing criticism over his more violent lyrics, starring in the movie ''Film/PoeticJustice'' with Music/JanetJackson (with tensions on set), having run-ins with the law, and generally becoming a rising star in the hip-hop scene. Most of the lyricism on ''Strictly 4...'' involves 2Pac venting his frustrations with the problems in his life and coming to terms with his rising fame and controversy, making it a more personal and introspective album than his debut. That said, he still finds time to address social/political problems faced by the black community at the time, such as deadbeat fathers and the treatment of women.
''Strictly 4...'' is generally considered the album where 2Pac broke through to the mainstream. It spawned four singles; "Holler If Ya Hear Me", "I Get Around", "Keep Ya Head Up" and "Papa'z Song". "I Get Around" and "Keep Ya Head Up" in particular were his earliest big crossover hits, helping propel him to superstardom not just in the hip-hop scene, but pop culture as a whole.

* AngryBlackMan: Still showed this side a lot, like on "Holler If Ya Hear Me" and "Point the Finga".
* BathtubScene: The "I Get Around" video features 2Pac taking a bubble bath and smoking a cigar as a beautiful woman lights his cigar and rubs her hands all over him.
* CallingTheOldManOut: "Papa'z Song" sees 2Pac and his stepbrother, Mopreme Shakur AKA Wycked, tearing into their father for not being there for them and their mother. The final verse (rapped by Wycked with his voice altered to sound deeper) is from the father's viewpoint as he explains his side of the situation.
-->'''''Daddy's home...'''''\\
Heh, so?\\
You say that like that means somethin' to me.\\
You've been gone a mighty long motherfuckin' time for you to be comin' home, talkin' that 'daddy's home' shit.\\
We been gettin' along fine just without you... me, my brother, and my mother.\\
So if you don't mind, you can step the ''fuck'' off, '''pops'''.. '''''fuck you'''''!
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The "Papa'z Song" video.
* DreamTeam: 2Pac, Music/IceCube and Music/IceT team up for "Last Wordz".
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: On "Keep Ya Head Up", 2Pac proclaims that men shouldn't hate women because, when you get down to it, all men came from women.
* FaceOnTheCover: A very colorful and heavily stylized shot of 2Pac standing shirtless.
* {{Fanservice}}: The "I Get Around" video. From 2Pac's [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtlessness]] to all the scantily clad ladies with him, it's got something for everyone.
* GlorifiedSpermDonor: Deconstructed in "Papa'z Song".
* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: Duh. But remember, when 2Pac says "nigga", he means "[[FunWithAcronyms Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished]]".
* Letters2Numbers: The album title/title track and especially the interlude "Something 2 Die 4".
* MoodWhiplash: In the middle of this socio-political album is "I Get Around", a fun party jam about 2Pac and his homies having sex with other guys' girlfriends.
* MrFanservice: This is the album where 2Pac started showing his sexier side, with him appearing shirtless on the album cover and in the "I Get Around" video.
* OneWordTitle: "Strugglin'".
* PoliticalRap: Not quite as prominent as it was on ''2Pacalypse Now'', but it's still there.

* TheSomethingSong: "Papa'z Song".
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: In contrast to the angry and militant tracks he was known for, "Keep Ya Head Up" is a positive, uplifting song telling women they should be proud of themselves and not take any man's shit.
