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. --Dalton Higgins

"Me Against the World" is third album by American Hi-Hop musician 2Pac. It was the last album, what he made before his death, because he died after shooting in year 1996. It was really tragic and sad event for me, because he was one of my favorite hip-hop musicians ever. Anyway, he is really famous musician in the world, and also he has great talent. This is also my favorite album, because this includes great lyrics together with great background music. So, I'm going to write out track list and a little bit about every song.
1. "Intro"
Nice song, nothing special but lyrics are great. Beats are classy, but still very nice. Produced by Tony Pizzaro, Jill Rose. Because of these two guys I like this song very much. It's full of énergy and music is awesome.
8/10
2. "If I Die 2Nite"
This is great start for the album. Beats are great, pretty basic, but still very nice. This is a nice track, and somehow, it talks something about his history and death, although it released before his death.
9/10
3. "Me Against The World"
This is main song in this album. Lyrics are great and also music is very nice. Somehow, he talks about his own life, together with great beats by SoulShock and Karlin
8/10
4. "So Many Tears"
This is well known as really sad and soulful song, where 2Pac raps about his pain and suffering. It touched my heart. After all, music is great, and lyrics are awesome, only maybe too sad.
7/10
5. "Temptation"
What can I say? Background music was great, but I really didn't like lyrics. Also video was really peculiar. At least, in my opinion, video is really weird.
6/10
6. "Young Niggaz"
This is great song, together with great lyrics. It's one of my favorite songs, but So Many Tears is much better. There is no video for that, but song is awesome.
8/10
7. "Heavy In The Game"
This is my favorite song of this album. Regular beats, but lyrics are great. Because of producers, Mike Mosley and Sam Bostic, this song is well worth to listen.
8/10
8. "Lord Knows"
Music is almost same as "Heavy In The Game" music, but lyrics are really different. It's pretty good song with great lyrics, only there aren't so many energy as other songs had.
6/10
9. "Dear Mama"
This song is considered by many fans, admirers and critics as one of the best hip-hop songs. Presumably, this is one of the most famous 2Pac songs. It has great lyrics and also awesome background music. If you watch the video, it seems that he raps together with his mother. There are a lot of emotions in the song.
9/10
10. "It Ain't Easy"
This is great song; beats are classy, but still awesome. Actually, in this song, beats have done by Toni Pizarro. Song is full of energy and I really love it. There is no video, but song is really awesome.
10/10
11. "Can U Get Away"
In this song, 2Pac sings together with girl. If you listens lyrics carefully, you can understand, that he sings about the girl, he wishes to be with. Lyrics are great and song is full of energy. Beats are by Mike Mosley. Music is very nice also.
9/10
12. "Old School"
This song is full of dirty words. This song features 2Pac reminiscing about old good times. He describes his attention and respect about old rappers. It's pretty good song, together with great lyrics and beats. No music video, but It's not important.
8/10
13. "F**k The World"
It's great song with classy beats. Lyrics are great and chorus is singed together with Shock G and Humpty Hump. Together with their great voice and talent, this song is really good and full of energy.
9/10
14. "Death Around The Corner"
This is really sad song, full of sadness and pain. It doesn't make you cry, but lyrics are really sad. Beats are classy, but still very nice. Really good song, but It's not so sad than "So Many Tears".
9/10
15. "Outlaw"
This is really good song. Lyrics are great. It's most energizing song in this album. Beats are really classy, also song is really classy, but still it's really good and interesting song.
Advantages: Consistent quality Disadvantages: One slip in quality
"MeAgainst The World" is the third album by the West Coast Rap legend 2Pac who was killed in 1996 as a result of a fatal shooting. The album came a year before this and has him rapping in what has been called a "nothing to lose" persona as he raps during a difficult time in his life as he was shot five times late in 1994, and was in prison for the release of the record. Despite all this, he was able to top the charts with his music, even with him being charged for sexual molestation at the time.
1. "Intro"
2. "If I Die 2Nite"
Heavy in bitter alliteration, this one has 'Pac's attitude for the whole release summed up as he really just doesn't care what happens to himslef, as he lives each day for what it is, and knows there's no point in pre-planning anything.
**Four Stars**

ME AGAINST THE WORLD was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "Dear Mama" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance. Forget everything you've heard and assumed about rapper/actor 2Pac and think only of his music, which has always stood in the shadow of his lifestyle. ME AGAINST THE WORLD tries to make sense of all the stormy events that have surrounded the gifted vocalist--transforming 2Pac into the "rap star" he's always yearned to be--and turns out to be his best work yet. ME AGAINST THE WORLD seriously connects the rapper with his audience by remaining "real." Although much of the public is already familiar with the all-too politicized/publicized life of Tupac Shakur, the album disputes their perception and serves as his halo. "If I Die 2Nite" couples 2Pac's intense thoughts with the flava-in-ya-ear sound provided by hip-hop super producer Easy Mo Bee. 2Pac softens his tone on "Dear Mama," celebrating the one woman who has stuck by him through it all. The album also focuses on issues known and experienced not only by this "hip-hop outlaw," but by those who share his lifestyle. Many "thugs" have lost their homies and struggled to keep themselves alive in the hood, and so has 2Pac; and his mourning is manifested on "So Many Tears," which is enhanced by a sample of Stevie Wonder's harmonica. "Can U Get Away" carefully alerts women involved in abusive relationships, and labels 2Pac as their saviour. Giving props to the New York rap scene, "Old School" is a tribute to the founders of hip-hop and reminisces about "how it was." Musically, the comfortable tracks help convey positive messages ("Young Niggaz"), and lyrically, 2Pac is, as always, on point.
Album Reviews
The Source (4/95, p.79) - 4 Stars - Slammin' - "...ME AGAINST THE WORLD follows suit as [Tupac] releases his best work by far....a manisfestation of Tupac's talents becoming completely whole as they are mixed with the tracks that may, for a change, overshadow him..." Vibe (4/95, p.55) - "...lets go of his usual theme of thuggery-as- resistance....amid all his righteous venom...[2Pac] dispenses maxims....He seems, like this album, just schizo enough to be interesting, just crazy enough to be sincere..." Rolling Stone (5/4/95, pp.68-70) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...ME AGAINST THE WORLD--by and large a work of pain, anger and burning desperation--is the first time 2Pac has taken the conflicting forces tugging at his psyche head-on..."
