Amazon.com essential recording

The gruesome details surrounding Tupac's third solo offering are enough to give any music fan the willies. Released when Tupac was in jail serving time for a rape conviction and just after his recovery from being shot-up gangland-style at a recording studio, this was his most introspective piece of work to date. The heavy-hearted album opens up with a radio commentary describing the circumstances surrounding his shooting, and then plunges headfirst into Pac's infatuation with death. "So Many Tears," "Death Around the Corner," and "If I Die 2Nite" are all dark, eerily prophetic tunes that lend credence to widespread theories which suggest that Pac anticipated his impending death. The perpetually thugged-out wonder reveals a more benevolent side when it comes to gender and family issues. On "Dear Mama"--a fitting tribute to his mother recorded in the "Keep Ya Head Up" vein--Pac takes listeners into the loving recesses of his heart, while on "Can U Get Away," he echoes similar respectful sentiments to black womynkind. This is probably Pac's most progressive issues-oriented release before he signed to Death Row and became a full-blown thug. <I>--Dalton Higgins</I>

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Definitive 'Pac.......2007-04-24

This CD is what established Pac as an ARTIST, rather than just a rapper. This is a look into the windows of Pac's soul. Hip-Hop/Rap doesn't get much better than this. Pac proved the diversity, range and depth he had as a Hip Hop artist. This CD actually shined light on the genre!!! My favorite tracks: ALL OF THEM, but the ones in the heaviest rotation are: So Many Tears, and Temptations! Buy this and enjoy!!!

5 out of 5 stars My best Pac album.......2007-04-10

Hence the title, some Pac fans like this the best, others give the crown to All Eyez On Me, Makaveli or even one of the first two. Well all Pac's albums (before the posthumous ones) are fantastic so i definitely respect those opinions. But for me this is the one i listen to the most (which is at least twice a day!!!)

There isn't a single dissapointment here. All the beats are excellent, the guest appearances aren't that bad and limited and Pac shines all the way through. Now i'm not going to review all the tracks as that would take up alot of space. So i'll just comment on my top 5, which are
1. Dear Mama -Absolute genious!!! My favourite Pac song ever!!!
2. F*ck The World - A very haunting beat with 4 short verses of Pac letting out all his anger (he was going through some very hard things back then as you know)
3. Young N*ggaz - A nice jazzy beat while Pac goes through his young days to his present. A brilliant hook aswell.
4. So Many Tears - Known as the darkest rap song ever.
5. Can U Get Away - Alot of people consider this the weakest off the album, but i love it.

Honorable mention: Me Against The World - One of Pac's most instrospective tracks ever

Anyway peace and rest in peace to

Tupac Amaru Shakur - 1971-1996 (We all miss ya)

5 out of 5 stars Good CD .......2007-02-23

Me against the world is a good CD. The best songs are Me Against The World, So Many Tears, Heavy In The Game, Can U Get Away, and [blank] the world.

4 out of 5 stars My Favorite Pac Album (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-02-11

I'll say this with every Pac album that I review: I'm not one of those people who consistantly ride his nuts like half the world does, and calls him the greatest lyricist in rap/hip hop music.

But Pac was very talented here in 1995 with his album "Me Against The World". Around this time he was 1. In trouble with the law, and aquitted of various charges; 2. Just signed to Deathrow Records; 3. Feeding into his beef with Bad Boy Records. But Pac himself would have an enjoyment here behind the mic while recording this album. Pac would show a little introspective side on many tracks. That would show especialy on the big hit song "Dear Mama" a song dedicated to his mother, as well as "Young ******".

Hence the opening paragraph that I made about me not saying he is the greatest lyricst, he would have a few that I liked. "It Ain't Easy" and "If I Die 2 Nite" are prime examples of Pac lyricism here on this album. Pac would also get a lot of heat off of his chest with my favorite song by him till this day "**** The World" and the soft sounding, but hard track "Lord Knows". The intensity of his voice in that song makes me like it, along with the back vocals of Shock G.

So here, Pac dropped an excellent LP here in '95. The Source took another listen and in 2002, awarded him the 5 mic rating (the origional this album received was 4). This album is a great addition to any one's hip hop collection. It is the satisfaction guranteed to give anyone the enjoyment that he or she desires. Word.

This in my opinion is not one of Pac's better CD's. This one is cool but he's had way better, but I still love him.
