2Pac Intense Presence in ‘Ambitionz as a Ridah’

“Ambitionz as a Ridah” is a hip-hop song by 2Pac (Tupac Shakur), released in 1996 as the opening track from his fourth studio album, “All Eyez on Me.” The song sets the tone for the album and is characterized by its aggressive and energetic production.

In “Ambitionz as a Ridah,” 2Pac expresses his determination, ambition, and the challenges he faces in the music industry and life in general. The title is a play on words, combining “ambition” with “ridah” (rider), a term often used in West Coast hip-hop to refer to someone loyal and committed.

The track features a driving beat and a memorable guitar riff, creating a powerful and dynamic atmosphere. 2Pac’s delivery is assertive and confident, reflecting the bravado that was a hallmark of his persona.

“All Eyez on Me,” the album that features “Ambitionz as a Ridah,” was released shortly after 2Pac’s release from prison, and it became one of his most successful and influential works. The song remains a classic example of 2Pac’s raw lyricism and the West Coast hip-hop sound of the mid-1990s.
