Īll Eyez on Me was originally intended for a Christmas 1995 release but was pushed back as Shakur continued to record music and shoot music videos for the album. Everybody's looking to see what I'mma do now so All Eyez on Me. I got the jealous homeboys and I got the homies that roll with me.
I got the females that want to charge me with false charges and sue me and all that. Shakur explained to MTV's Bill Bellamy in December 1995 saying: Įuthanasia was the initial title of the album until it was changed to All Eyez on Me during the recording process. Fulfilling part of Shakur's brand new contract, this double-album served as the first two albums of his three-album contract. All Eyez on Me was released following an agreement between Knight and Shakur which stated Shakur would make three albums under Death Row Records in return for them paying his bail. At the time, Shakur was broke and thus unable to make bail himself. In October 1995, Suge Knight and Jimmy Iovine paid the $1.4 million bail necessary to get Shakur released from jail on charges of sexual abuse.

Shakur also won the award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist at the 24th Annual American Music Awards. The album won the 1997 Soul Train award for Rap Album of the Year posthumously.
