CraigEgg's Full Review: Me Against the World [PA] by 2Pac
The life of Tupac Amaru Shakur was shorter then many people may have expected. His music was a work of art, and I am sure that it will never be forgotten. For all the people who already know how special Tupac’s music was, this review isn’t for you. For those who never realized how amazing his work was, this review does pertain to you. I am reviewing one of his greatest albums that he had ever made. “Me Against The World” is a perfect example of how great of a poet/rapper Tupac really was. This CD includes some of his greatest songs that he has ever made.
At the time when Tupac had created this record he had not been in jail, and he seemed to have showed much maturity in his music as a rap star. Many rappers in the world noticed Tupacs real talent when “Me Against The World” was first released. The record was released by Interscope Records, and was manufactured and distributed by Priority Records. The CD release was a hit, and that has led him to be able to have sold around 33 million copies of all his CDs. Let me tell you, that is a lot of money. I believe this CD to have been his gateway album to all of his other CDs.
In this album Tupac seemed to have gotten a lot more personal. The hit song on the album was “Dear Mama”, which I am sure a lot of you have heard. If you haven’t heard this song then you are really missing out on something special. The song is dedicated to his mother. All the lyrics are about his life when he was growing up, and how he put so much pain on his mothers hands. His main theme in the song is “There’s no way I can pay you back, but my plan is to show you that I understand, y’all appreciate it!” This in my opinion it one of Tupacs greatest songs.
The song list on the album, “Me Against The World” is as follows-
1- Intro *****
2- If I die 2nite ****
3- Me Against The World *****
4- So Many Tears *****
5- Temptations *****
6- Young N*ggaz ***
7- Heavy In The Game ***
8- Lord Knows ***
9- Dear Mama ***** (In my opinion is the best song on this album)
10- It Ain’t Easy ***** (This is probably the 3rd best song on the CD)
11- Can U Get Away ***
12- Old School ***** (This is the second best song on the album, “What can I say, I wouldn’t be hear today if the old school didn’t pave the way!”)
13- F*** The World ***
14- Death Around The Corner ***
15- Outlaw ***
As you can see the track list is very strong. There are about 7 or 8 songs that I love on this CD, and the lyrics are amazing. If you really do not own this Tupac album I suggest you go out and buy it soon.
Tupac was the most amazing rapper in the world. It is too bad that his life was cut so short. His legacy will live on forever, and his music will be idolized forever. Thanks for reading my review, and if you have any suggestions please leave a comment, or write me and email! Thanks!
