Me Against the World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Me Against the World is the third studio album by

American hip hop artist Tupac Shakur. It was released
March 14, 1995 on the Interscope Records label. It was his
impending prison sentence, troubles with the police and
Shakur being poor, which many believe might have
contributed to Shakur's artistic reemergence on record, as
his material is believed by Steve Huey of Allmusic to have
become markedly more "confessional", "reflective", and
"soul-baring".[2]
Me Against the World, released while Shakur was
imprisoned, made an immediate impact on the charts,
debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. This made
Shakur the first artist to have an album debut at number
one on Billboard 200 while serving time in prison. The
album served as one of Shakur's most positively reviewed
albums, with many calling it the magnum opus of his
career, and is considered one of the greatest and most
influential hip hop albums of all-time.[3] Me Against the
World won best rap album at the 1996 Soul Train Music
Awards.[4]

Background

In 1993, Tupac Shakur was already a success in the hip hop industry, with two gold-certified singles

In 1993, Tupac Shakur was already a success in the hip hop industry, with two gold-certified singles
that reached the top twenty on the pop charts ("I Get Around", "Keep Ya Head Up"), and a platinumselling sophomore album that would peak just inside the top twenty-five of the Billboard 200 (Strictly
4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z.).[5][6] However, the 22-year-old artist had a series of incidents and charges of
breaking the law. In the summer of 1993, Shakur was charged for assaulting director Allen Hughes
while filming Menace II Society; Shakur was later sentenced to fifteen days in jail. Later, in October
1993, Shakur was charged with shooting two off-duty police officers in Atlanta, though the charges
would eventually be dismissed. In November, Shakur and two members of his entourage were
charged with sexually assaulting a female fan, for which they were found guilty and sentenced to 4.5

years in jail.[7] According to Shakur, the album was made to show the hip hop audience his respect
for the art form. Lyrically, Shakur intentionally tried to make the album more personal and reflective
than his previous efforts.[8]

Recording and production

The musical production on the album was considered by several music critics to be the best on any of
Shakur's albums up to that point in his career. Steve "Flash" Juon at RapReviews gave the production
on the album a perfect 10 of 10 rating, particularly praising tracks like "So Many Tears" and
"Temptations".[9] Jon Pareles of the New York Times remarked that the production had a "fatalistic
calm, in a commercial mold". He compared the album's production and synthesized hooks to that of
Dr. Dre's G-funk style, stating that "while 2Pac doesn't sing, other voices do, providing smooth
melody".[10] James Bernard at Entertainment Weekly was not quite as enthusiastic about the album's
production, remarking that Shakur's "vocals are buried deep in the mix. That's a shameif they were
more in-your-face, the lackluster beats might be less noticeable."[11] The album's recording sessions
took place at ten different studios, while it was mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering.[12] Although
the album was originally released on Interscope. Amaru Entertainment, the label owned by Shakur's
mother Afeni Shakur, has since released the album twice.[13][14]

Lyrical Themes
It was like a blues record. It was down-home. It was all my fears, all the things I just
couldn't sleep about. Everybody thought I was living so well and doing so good that I
wanted to explain it. And it took a whole album to get it all out. I get to tell my innermost,
darkest secrets I tell my own personal problems.[8]
Tupac Shakur
Some of the album's main themes concern the loss of innocence, paranoia, and occasional selfloathing.[2] Much attention is paid to subjects such as the pain of urban survival.[9] Not all of the
music deals with such extremely bleak subject matter, however. Some tracks, such as "Old School",
lean more to the nostalgic, though somewhat bittersweet side in Shakur's remembrance of his youth
and the early days of hip hop music.[2][9] The album is also well known for the more sensitive tracks
"Dear Mama" and "Can U Get Away", which are both directed towards and reveal Shakur's devotion to
the women he loves. On "Dear Mama", Shakur pays tribute to and expresses his undying affection for
his own mother, continuously reminding her that though his actions might sometimes seem to state
otherwise, "you are appreciated".[9][15] On the track "Can U Get Away", Shakur attempts to impress a
woman who has managed to gain his affections, away from the woman's abusive relationship. Four
of the most eerie and revered tracks on the album are "If I Die 2Nite", "Lord Knows" "Outlaw" which
directly references the shooting that Tupac went through before it happened, and "Fuck The World"
Throughout the entirety of the album Shakur employs various poetical deliveries, ranging from
alliteration ("If I Die 2Nite"), to the use of paired couplets ("Lord Knows").[9]

Singles
"Dear Mama" was released as the album's first single in February 1995, along with the track "Old

School" as the B-side.[16] "Dear Mama" would be the album's most successful single, topping the Hot

Rap Singles chart, and peaking at the ninth spot on the Billboard Hot 100.[17] The single was certified
platinum in July 1995,[5] and later placed at number 51 on the year-end charts.

The second single, "So Many Tears", was released in June, four months after the first single.[18] The
single would reach the number six spot on the Hot Rap Singles chart, and the 44th on the Billboard
Hot 100.[17]

"Temptations", released in August, was the third and final single from the album.[19] The single would
be the least successful of the three released, but still did fairly well on the charts, reaching number 68
on the Billboard Hot 100, 35 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, and 13 on the Hot Rap Singles
charts.[17]

Commercial performance
The album debuted at the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart and stayed there for 4 weeks
straight, it sold 240,000 copies in the first week, and became certified double platinum by the end of
the year.[20][21][22] Likewise, it also debuted at number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart,
thus giving 2Pac the first number one album on both R&B and Pop charts.[23] While Shakur was in
prison, the album over-took Bruce Springsteen's Greatest Hits as the best-selling album in the United
States, a feat which he took pride in.[8] Shakur became the first artist to have a number one album
while serving a prison sentence.[22] It achieved multi platinum status and has sold 3,524,567 copies in
the United States as of 2011.[24]
Tupac Shakur's virtual appearance on the annual Coachella Festival (April 15, 2012) saw gains in
sales, the album sold 1,000 copies the following week (Up by 53% from the previous week).[25]

Critical reception
In a contemporary review, Cheo H. Coker at Rolling Stone
called the album Shakur's best and said it was "by and
large a work of pain, anger and burning desperation [it]
is the first time 2Pac has taken the conflicting forces

tugging at his psyche head-on".[27] Jon Pareles, writing in

The New York Times, called Shakur the "St. Augustine of
gangster rap" due to his ambivalence towards the behavior
and nature of the gangster lifestyle.[10] In a negative
review, Robert Christgau of The Village Voice felt that
Shakur is "witless" when dealing with fundamental hip hop
themes of persecution and accused him of "self-pity": "The
subtext of his persecution complex is his self-regard".[26]

In a retrospective review, Allmusic editor Steve Huey
dubbed the album "[Shakur's] most thematically consistent,

least self-contradicting work", and stated, "it may not be his
definitive album, but it just might be his best".[2] Steve "Flash" Juon of RapReview seemed to feel
differently, remarking that the album "is not only the quintessential Shakur album, but one of the
most important rap albums released in the 1990s as a whole".[31]

Kendrick Lamar included this album in his 25 of his favourite albums then saying: "It really was just
in heavy rotation. Constantly going back and forth where we was just mixing and matching songs
together. It was really dark. Death Around The Corner, So Many Tears, you can tell what type of
space he was in..[32]

Accolades
At the 38th Grammy Awards, in 1996, Me Against the World was nominated for Best Rap Album and
the single "Dear Mama" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance.[33][34] In 2008, the National
Association of Recording Merchandisers, in conjunction with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
recognized Me Against the World as one of the "most influential and popular albums", ranking it
number 170 on a list of 200 other albums by artists of various musical genres.[35]
