Thanks to a contractual loophole, with All Eyez On Me, being a double album, Shakur could have managed to weasel out of his contract early, since it counted as two albums on it's own. As part of their agreement, Shakur was required to release at least 3 albums for Death Row in return for posting his bail. With no other options, and no money, Shakur signed with Death Row to get out of prison. In October 1995, after having served nine months of his sentence, Suge Knight visited Shakur in jail, and made him an offer: Sign a record deal with Death Row, and the label would personally pay his bail. It was also his last completed body of work to be released prior to his murder.ĭespite the financial success of Me Against the World, Tupac was flat broke, in prison for sexual assault, all but dropped from Interscope Records, and unable to pay his $1.4 million bail due to his legal fees. In many ways, it was a first for Pac: It was his first double album, his first to be released since being bailed out from prison and signing with Death Row Records, and his first album to be certified Diamond (one of the few rap albums to earn that distinction). All Eyez On Me is the fourth album by Tupac Shakur, released on February 13, 1996.
